Integrating Individuals with Stroke into Cardiac Rehabilitation Following Traditional Stroke Rehabilitation: Promoting a Continuum of Care
Publication date: Available online 11 July 2018Source: Canadian Journal of CardiologyAuthor(s): Susan Marzolini, R. KinUnstructured AbstractIndividuals following stroke are at a high risk for a repeat stroke and for complications related to coronary artery disease. Indeed, stroke and coronary artery disease share many of the same risk factors. Unfortunately, patients become sedentary after stroke leading to cardiorespiratory deconditioning as well as muscle atrophy and weakness that leads to deterioration in metabolic, cardiorespiratory, and functional health. Access to intensive secondary prevention programs with a struct...

Medtronic and Viz.ai Look to Improve Stroke Outcomes with New Alliance
A collaboration between Viz.ai and Medtronic could lead to better outcomes for stroke patients. Through the distribution agreement, San Francisco, CA-based Viz.ai would increase the reach of its artificial intelligence solution for stroke.
Viz.ai’s solution identifies suspected large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes and automatically notify specialists. It could lead patients to get treatment by technologies like Dublin-based Medtronic’s Solitaire revascularization device.
“By combining AI software with therapy that works, that’s how we can truly improve...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 3941: A Qualitative Study Exploring the Lives and Caring Practices of Young Carers of Stroke Survivors
This study investigated the life transformation of children when a parent returned home from hospital after a stroke. The study explored children’s experiences of taking on caring roles in partnership with their well parent and stroke survivors’ perceptions of the young carer roles. The study aimed to identify unmet support needs in order to inform future service provision. Semi-structured interviews were conducted separately with stroke survivors (n = 7) (age range 41–60 years, mean 50.6) and their young carers (n = 11) (age range 11–20 years, mean 16). Interviews we...

A service evaluation of the feasibility of a community-based consultant and stroke navigator review of health and social care needs in stroke survivors 6 weeks after hospital discharge.
Abstract
The Department of Health Stroke Strategy (2007) recommends that post stroke patients are reviewed within 6 weeks of discharge. Historically, a 6-week outpatient appointment was offered. This was primarily a medical review and not a full assessment of health, social care status and secondary prevention needs. An innovative joint domiciliary clinic was developed in order to meet these recommendations. The joint clinic reviews were conducted by a stroke consultant and an allied health professional. There were no readmissions at 6 weeks and 6 months post stroke. User satisfaction was very high and there were ...

Creating a Novel Video Vignette Stroke Preparedness Outcome Measure Using a Community-Based Participatory Approach
This article discusses an approach for creating a novel stroke preparedness video vignette intermediate outcome measure within a community-based participatory research partnership. A total of 20 video vignettes were filmed of which 13 were unambiguous (stroke or not stroke) as determined by stroke experts and had test discrimination among community participants. Acceptable reliability, high satisfaction, and cultural relevance were found among the 14 community respondents. A community-based participatory approach was effective in creating a video vignette intermediate outcome. Future projects should consider obtaining expe...

Combined Clinical and Home Rehabilitation: A Case Report of an Integrated Knowledge-to-Action Study in a Dutch Rehabilitation Stroke Unit.
DISCUSSION: Improving local settings with available evidence is not a straightforward application process but rather a matter of searching, logical reasoning, and creatively working with heterogeneous knowledge sources in partnership with different stakeholders. Multiple organizational levels need to be addressed rather than focusing on therapists as sole site of change.

Study: Drinking Diet Soda Could Increase Risk Of Dementia, Stroke
BOSTON (CBS) – Diet soda has long been touted as a healthier alternative to sugary soft drinks, but a new study raises some concerning questions.
According to new research published in the American Heart Association’s journal Stroke, consuming one or more artificially sweetened drinks per day may be linked to a higher risk of stroke and dementia.
Those who drank one or more artificially sweetened drinks daily had a 2.89 times higher risk of dementia, and 2.96 higher risk of stroke than people who had less than one of those drinks per week.
The people studied are participating in the Framingham Heart Study, which is A...
