Hand Motion Analysis Illustrates Differences When Drilling Cadaveric and Printed Temporal Bone
CONCLUSIONS: Significant differences in hand motions were present between simulations, however the significance is unclear. This may indicate that printed bone is not best positioned to be the principal training schema.PMID:34872376 | DOI:10.1177/00034894211059310

Development and Pilot Implementation of TACTICS VR: A Virtual Reality-Based Stroke Management Workflow Training Application and Training Framework
Front Neurol. 2021 Nov 11;12:665808. doi: 10.3389/fneur.2021.665808. eCollection 2021.ABSTRACTDelays in acute stroke treatment contribute to severe and negative impacts for patients and significant healthcare costs. Variability in clinical care is a contributor to delayed treatment, particularly in rural, regional and remote (RRR) areas. Targeted approaches to improve stroke workflow processes improve outcomes, but numerous challenges exist particularly in RRR settings. Virtual reality (VR) applications can provide immersive and engaging training and overcome some existing training barriers. We recently initiated the TACTI...

Telestroke Assessment With Perfusion CT Improves the Diagnostic Accuracy of Stroke vs. Mimic
Conclusions: In the telehealth setting, the absence of an ischaemic lesion on CTP adds to the diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing mimic from stroke, above that from clinical features.

Denial of Cerebrovascular Events in a National Clinical Quality Registry for Stroke: A Retrospective Cohort Study
To investigate cerebrovascular event (CVE) denials reported by registered patients to the Australian Stroke Clinical Registry, and to examine the factors associated with CVE denial.

A Multicentre Study Comparing Cerebrovascular Disease Profiles in Pacific Islander and Caucasian Populations Presenting with Stroke and Transient Ischaemic Attack
Conclusion: Distinct cerebrovascular disease profiles are identifiable in PI-born patients who present with TIA or stroke symptoms in Australia. These may be used in the future to direct targeted approaches to stroke prevention and care in culturally and linguistically diverse populations.Neuroepidemiology

Using experience-based codesign to coproduce aphasia rehabilitation services: study protocol
We present a protocol for the development of coproduced aphasia service elements. We will use experience-based codesign (EBCD), an approach that enables service users and providers to collaboratively develop services and care pathways. Drawing on the experiences of people with aphasia, their families and clinicians we will establish priorities for the development of new services and later work together to codesign them. Methods and analysis This research will be coproduced with people with aphasia (n=30–60), their families (n=30–60) and speech pathologists (n=30–60) in Queensland, Australia, using EBCD. ...

Patients' experiences of a Communication Enhanced Environment model on an acute/slow stream rehabilitation and a rehabilitation ward following stroke: a qualitative description approach
CONCLUSIONS: While findings are encouraging, further exploration of the feasibility of a CEE model in this complex setting is indicated to inform the development of this intervention.Implications for rehabilitationPatient access to a CEE model is challenging in a hospital setting.Patients who were able to access elements of the CEE model described positive opportunities for engagement in language activities.Patients' access to the CEE model was influenced by patient factors, staff factors, hospital features as well as staff time pressures.PMID:34780322 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2021.1965226

Feasibility of national living guideline methods: the Australian Stroke Guidelines
Key findingsIt is feasible to produce living evidence-based guidelines covering a wide range of topics related to management of stroke or transient ischaemic attack.What this adds to what is knownLiving evidence synthesis methods are becoming more common particularly in response to the COIVD-19 crisis. However, whether these methods can be applied to a large national guideline was unclear. This work shows that it is possible to develop rigorous living guidelines and update them by considering all major randomised trials and systematic reviews each month.

The effects of endovascular clot retrieval and thrombolysis on dysphagia in an Australian quaternary hospital: A retrospective review
CONCLUSION: This study identified ongoing high rates of dysphagia amongst this patient population regardless of treatment type, demonstrating the need for ongoing SLP management post stroke. Further research is required in this area to develop an evidence-base for SLPs and the wider medical team and to inform clinical practice guidelines.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on the subject Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and death internationally. Dysphagia (impaired swallowing), a common sequalae of stroke, is known to contribute to decreased quality of life, increased length of hospital stay and m...
