Emergency decompressive surgery in patients with transtentorial brain herniation and pupillary abnormalities: the importance of improved pupillary response after osmotherapy and surgery
CONCLUSIONS: With aggressive medical and surgical management, patients with transtentorial brain herniation, including those with bilaterally fixed and dilated pupils, may have considerable rates of survival and functional recovery. Young age, less midline shift, and improved pupillary response following osmotic therapy or decompressive surgery are favorable prognosticators.PMID:37548576 | DOI:10.3171/2023.5.JNS23163

Predicting institutionalization after Subacute Stroke Rehabilitation using the 12-Item World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule
CONCLUSION: Despite its brevity and subjectivity, the WHODAS-12 from proxies has shown high accuracy in predicting institutionalization after subacute rehabilitation of individuals with major stroke, the impact of participation being as relevant as that of activities.PMID:37548437 | DOI:10.2340/jrm.v55.6531

Adaptation and content validation of a patient-reported measure of treatment burden for use in stroke survivors: the patient experience with treatment and self-management in stroke (PETS-stroke) measure
CONCLUSIONS: PETS-stroke has content that is relevant, meaningful and comprehensible to stroke survivors. Content validity and reliability testing are now required. The validated tool will aid testing of tailored interventions to lessen treatment burden.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONTreatment burden is reported by stroke survivors but no stroke-specific measure of treatment burden exists.We adapted an existing measure of treatment burden for use in multimorbid patients (PETS) to create a stroke specific version (PETS-stroke).The items in PETS-stroke are relevant and meaningful to people with stroke.Further testing will ex...

Monitoring Risk and Preventing Ischemic Stroke in the Very Old
This article examines current guidelines and evidence regarding medical management, lifestyle changes, and psychosocial interactions that can contribute to the primary and secondary prevention of ischemic stroke in the very old.AREAS COVERED: The authors conducted a literature search for ischemic stroke prevention and risk assessment in the elderly via PubMed. Furthermore, they describe current strategies for monitoring risk and preventing ischemic stroke in the elderly population.EXPERT OPINION: Ischemic stroke poses a significant health risk to the elderly, with prevention relying on managing modifiable risk factors such...

Rates of Preeclampsia and Post-preeclamptic Cardiovascular Disease Among US Military Servicewomen: A Retrospective Case-cohort Study
CONCLUSION: In this study, we report overall higher incidence of PE in military women than what is published for civilian women in all races and across all services. Importantly, we do not find significantly higher numbers of PE and post-PE CVD for African American, compared to White women in the military. Our study is not designed to address differences between military and civilian PE epidemiology, but these results deserve further exploration. This study shines light on a health risk unique to women, which we found to be more prevalent in the US Military than published civilian population. Further study to determine the...
