Survivor gives us a lens into regional systems of care for acute ischemic stroke in North Dakota
I just got back from the North Dakota Mission: Lifeline STEMI and Acute Stroke Conference in Bismark, ND. I had a great time and I learned a lot. I often get asked to speak in various venues about acute STEMI and 12-lead ECG interpretation, but for this conference they wanted me to talk mostly about stroke. That turned out to be a good thing because it forced me to read the 2013 AHA / ASA Guildelines for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke to make sure I was asking intelligent questions during the panel discussion (which I moderated) and also giving accurate information for the class I taught about ...

A phase II randomised controlled trial evaluating the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an education program on speech-language pathologist' self-efficacy, and self-rated competency for counselling to support psychological wellbeing in people with post-stroke aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: The demonstrated feasibility and preliminary efficacy of this online counseling program warrant a future definitive trial.PMID:36440678 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2022.2145736

Why John Fetterman Needs Closed Captioning Technology After His Stroke
Five months after the Democratic nominee in one of the nation’s most competitive Senate races suffered a stroke, there’s still a lot to learn about his recovery. In the final weeks of the Pennsylvania Senate campaign, a key Republican attack against the state’s lieutenant governor, John Fetterman, has centered on his use of closed-captioning technology, which translates audio into text on a screen in real-time. He relied on the technology during an interview conducted Friday with NBC News, his first in-person, on-camera sit-down since his stroke in May. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] “...

The incidence, co-occurrence, and predictors of dysphagia, dysarthria, and aphasia after first-ever acute ischemic stroke.
Abstract Dysphagia, dysarthria and aphasia occur frequently following stroke. Our purpose was to identify the incidence, co-occurrence, and predictors of these impairments after first-ever ischemic stroke. We used the Registry of the Canadian Stroke Network's database (2003-2008) from one stroke center to identify a random sample of 250 patients with acute ischemic stroke confirmed by MR imaging. We further conducted a retrospective medical chart review. We established reliable data capture and identified the presence of the three impairments. We derived incidence and co-occurrence estimates along with 95% confide...

The contrast between cueing and/or observation in therapy for verb retrieval in post-stroke aphasia.
CONCLUSIONS: Verb naming can be enhanced by semantic/phonological cueing. In addition, other studies (clinical, neuroimaging, etc.) are needed to document the effect of action observation for the treatment of verb anomia. Learning outcomes: The reader will be able to (1) describe semantic-phonological therapies used in post-stroke verb anomia, (2) describe sensorimotor therapies used in post-stroke verb anomia, and (3) identify factors contributing to the efficacy of therapies to improve action naming in aphasia.

“Are you going to come and see us again soon?” An intergenerational event between stroke survivors and school-children
Quality in Ageing and Older Adults,Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 246-252, December 2016. Purpose A one-hour intergenerational event held at an infant school in Norfolk, England, aimed to increase the citizenship experience of young children and their awareness of what it means to live with stroke, and to address social isolation or self-confidence in communicating among stroke survivors with aphasia. It was also intended to gauge whether this activity might provide a basis for future research. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Four community-dwelling stroke survivors with aphasia were recruited...

The FAST VAN for Field Identification of Large Vessel Occlusion in Acute Stroke
DISCUSSION: The FAST VAN tool for identification of LVO meets desired characteristics of an effective screening tool in ease of use, efficiency, and accuracy. Aphasia remains the most challenging cortical feature to identify accurately.PMID:35581931 | DOI:10.1017/cjn.2022.32
