Investigation of Factors That Affect the Quality of Life After a Stroke
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2023;1425:437-442. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-31986-0_42.ABSTRACTStroke, as a disease, describes a group of disorders characterized by the presence of central nervous system symptoms either as a result of ischemia (ischemic stroke) or bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke). The appearance of a stroke results in a permanent physical or cognitive disability. The stroke incidence is the third cause of death after heart disease and cancer, and is the main cause of long-term disability.The effects of a stroke on a patient's daily life, and hence on his quality of life, are intense and long-lasting. These include memory pro...

Radioimaging and Demographic Profiles of Patients with Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Need for the Pragmatic Referral System
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2021 Nov 14. doi: 10.1007/5584_2021_662. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTReferring patients with severe medical conditions, like brain stroke, from small or rural hospitals to tertiary care centers is often overexploited leading to a kind of defensive medicine. The issue of a patient referral system remains unaddressed in Nepal. In this article, we investigated the legitimacy of referring patients with spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) from country peripheral hospitals to the leading tertiary neurological center in Nepal. We found that 81 out of the 130 ICH patients reviewed in the study were referr...

Efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke in cancer patients: a systemic review and meta-analysis.
Authors: Huang S, Lu X, Tang LV, Hu Y Abstract The efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in cancer patients remained uncertain due to low level evidence in the latest guideline for AIS. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of IVT in cancer patients with stronger evidence. We searched Medline, Embase, CENTRAL and ClinicalTrials.gov until April 2020 for studies reporting outcomes of functional independence, hemorrhagic transformation (HT), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH), major bleeding (MB), in-hospital mortality or 3-month mortality a...
