Oxidative stress and early mortality in acute ischemic stroke: A prospective cohort study
CONCLUSION: MDA serum level was significantly higher in non-survivors than in survivors patients, so MDA could be used as a predictor for early mortality and short-term outcome of cases with AIS.PMID:37652662 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2023.2252284

Sensory hypersensitivity after acquired brain injury: the patient perspective
CONCLUSIONS: Sensory hypersensitivity can have a major impact on patients' physical well-being, return to work and (social) participation after ABI. Characteristics of sensory hypersensitivity vary between patients with ABI. To develop treatments for sensory hypersensitivity, future studies should focus on cognitive (e.g., filtering information) and psychological factors (e.g., coping) in relation to sensory hypersensitivity.PMID:37649314 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2251401

An investigation of upper extremity function, sleep quality, and functional independence in patients with poststroke shoulder pain: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: PSSP impairs upper extremity functions, which play an important role in activities of daily living, and reduces functional independence. These results suggest that it is important to evaluate shoulder pain and examine the factors affecting pain in the rehabilitation of patients with stroke.PMID:37651602 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2253313

Lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D is associated with severer white matter hyperintensity and cognitive function in patients with non-disabling ischemic cerebrovascular events
Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is the second most common type of cognitive impairment, referring to the entire spectrum of cognitive impairment contributed by cerebrovascular pathology1. Due to the progressively higher incidence of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases, VCI, including post-stroke cognitive impairment are the leading causes of disability epidemic worldwide2-3. White matter lesions, manifested as white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, are one of the most common pathological characteristics of VCI4.

Strengthening stroke prevention and awareness in the Philippines: a conceptual framework
This article focuses on stroke prevention and awareness in the Philippines, a country grappling with high stroke incidence and limited healthcare resources. The two-pronged approach presented by the authors aims to address the challenges of stroke care by combining community-based prevention and targeted public awareness campaigns. The community-based stroke prevention component involves personalized risk factor assessments and tailored interventions conducted at local health centers. By identifying modifiable risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and elevated cholesterol levels, healthcare professionals ca...

Comparative Analysis of the Results of Stroke Treatment With Multiple Administrations of Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Derived HE-ATMP and Standard Conservative Treatment: Case Series Study
Cell Transplant. 2023 Jan-Dec;32:9636897231195145. doi: 10.1177/09636897231195145.ABSTRACTStroke remains still the leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. Although interventions such as early reperfusion, intravenous thrombolysis, and endovascular revascularization have shown neurological benefit in stroke patients, there is still lack of effective treatment enabling regeneration of nervous tissue after cerebral ischemic episodes. Cell therapy is an evolving opportunity for stroke survivors with residual neurological deficits. The purpose of this study was to evaluate safety and potential efficacy of multiple admi...

Here Are the First 10 Drugs Biden Will Target for Price Negotiations
WASHINGTON (AP) — The popular diabetes treatment Jardiance and the blood thinner Eliquis are among the first drugs that will be targeted for price negotiations in effort to cut Medicare costs.
President Joe Biden’s administration on Tuesday released a list of 10 drugs for which the federal government will take a first-ever step: negotiating drug prices directly with the manufacturer.
[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]
The move is expected to cut costs for some patients but faces litigation from the drugmakers and heavy criticism from Republican lawmakers. It’s also a centerpiece of t...

Top-Down and Bottom-Up Mechanisms of Motor Recovery Poststroke
Stroke remains a leading cause of disability. Motor recovery requires the interaction of top-down and bottom-up mechanisms, which reinforce each other. Injury to the brain initiates a biphasic neuroimmune process, which opens a window for spontaneous recovery during which the brain is particularly sensitive to activity. Physical activity during this sensitive period can lead to rapid recovery by potentiating anti-inflammatory and neuroplastic processes. On the other hand, lack of physical activity can lead to early closure of the sensitive period and downstream changes in muscles, such as sarcopenia, muscle stiffness, and ...

Intracranial haemorrhage in acute myocardial infarction: A rare but dramatic complication
The shift from thrombolysis to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the use of multidrug antithrombotic therapy in the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have led to both a substantial improvement in outcomes and a reduction in bleeding complications [1,2]. In particular, in AMI, the rate of haemorrhagic stroke, the most dreaded haemorrhagic complication, decreased by 50% from 1998 to 2008 [1]. Despite its low incidence, intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is often devastating, being associated with severe disability and high mortality rates.
