Task-specific training versus usual care to improve upper limb function after stroke: the “Task-AT Home” randomised controlled trial protocol
The objective is to determine whether task-specific training is a more effective treatment than usual care, for improving upper limb function, amount of upper limb use, and health related quality of life at 6 weeks and 6 months after intervention commencement. Our primary hypothesis is that upper limb function will achieve a ≥ 5 point improvement on the ARAT in the task-specific training group compared to the usual care group, after 6 weeks of intervention.MethodsParticipants living at home, with remaining upper limb deficit, are recruited at 3 months after stroke from sites in NSW and Victoria, Australia. Fo...

Economic evaluation of the Very Early Rehabilitation in SpEech (VERSE) intervention
CONCLUSION: There was limited evidence that additional intensively delivered aphasia therapy within the context of usual acute care provided was worthwhile in terms of costs for the outcomes gained.PMID:37415422 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2229039

Predictive values of pulse pressure variation and stroke volume variation for fluid responsiveness in patients with pneumoperitoneum
AbstractAnimal studies suggest that dynamic predictors remain useful in patients with pneumoperitoneum, but human data is conflicting. Our aim was to determine predictive values of pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV) in patients with pneumoperitoneum using LiDCORapid ™ haemodynamic monitor. Standardised fluid challenges of colloid were administered to patients undergoing laparoscopic procedures, one fluid challenge per patient. Intra-abdominal pressure was automatically held at 12 mmHg. Fluid responsiveness was defined as an increase in nominal stroke index (nSI) ≥ 10%. Linear regress...

The Implication of HeartWare HVAD Inflow Cannula Angle on Stroke and Thrombus Rate
Stroke and ventricular assist device (VAD) pump thrombus are serious complications that have previously been thought to be related to surgical placement - namely VAD inflow cannula angle. Our aim with this study was to better elucidate the impact of post-operative HeartWare HVAD (left VAD) cannula inflow angle on stroke and thrombus rate within a single centre in Sydney, Australia.

Cardiac Rehabilitation: Are People With Stroke or Transient Ischaemic Attack Being Included? A Cross-Sectional Survey
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) may be an effective secondary prevention program for people with stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). The aims of this study were to determine whether people with stroke or TIA were attending CR in Australia and if there were any barriers to attendance.

Is Incorrect Anti-Coagulation Dosing Contributing to Ischaemic Stroke Burden? A Retrospective Single-Centre Study from Regional New South Wales, Australia
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) contributes to 30% of ischaemic stroke presentations. Low doses of anti-coagulants are often prescribed to prevent stroke but ameliorate bleeding risk.

Australian health professionals' perceptions about the management of return to driving early after stroke: a mixed methods study - Frith J, James C, Hubbard I, Warren-Forward H.
BACKGROUND: Stroke can affect a person's ability to drive a motor vehicle. In Australia, there is a 4-week restriction in driving after stroke and a 2-week restriction after transient ischemic attack. Concerns exist as to whether people discharged home fro...
