O-031 Combinational therapy following elvo in a mouse model of stroke demonstrates new frontiers in neuroprotection: the mavaric trial
Stroke remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Potential therapies have encountered significant barriers in attempts to translate bench to bedside research. Because of this, we have evaluated novel roles for FDA approved drugs, repurposed for treating stroke. Two such drugs, verapamil and magnesium, represent drug classes with a long history in neuroprotection trials with mixed results. Using an intra-arterial (IA) model developed in our lab, we selectively delivered our agents of interest to the stroke affected region following experimental stroke and successful recanalization. In addition...

An examination of current stroke rehabilitation practice in Peru: Implications for interprofessional education.
This study aimed to better understand current clinical practice of rehabilitation professionals in Lima, Peru, and to explore the existence of and potential for interprofessional collaboration. A secondary purpose was to assess rehabilitation professionals' agreement with evidence-based stroke rehabilitation statements and confidence performing stroke rehabilitation tasks prior to and following an interprofessional stroke rehabilitation training. Current clinical practice for rehabilitation professionals in Peru differs from high-income counties like the United States, as physical therapists work with dysphagia and feeding...

Commentary: Addressing Racial Disparities in Stroke: The Wide Spectrum Investigation of Stroke Outcome Disparities on Multiple Levels (WISSDOM).
Authors: Adams RJ, Ellis C, Magwood G, Kindy MS, Bonilha L, Lackland DT, WISSDOM Investigators
Abstract
Racial-ethnic disparities in stroke recovery are well-established in the United States but the underlying causes are not well-understood. The typical assumption that racial-ethnic disparities in stroke recovery are explained by health care access inequities may be simplistic as access to stroke-related rehabilitation, for example, does not adequately explain the observed disparities. To approach the problem in a more comprehensive fashion, the Wide Spectrum Investigation of Stroke Outcome Disparities on Multiple ...

“His Entire Body Was Shutting Down”: New State Rankings Show Gaps in High School Athlete Safety
By mid-afternoon on August 1, 2017, the temperature in Stockton, Calif. was at least 105 degrees. Thirteen-year-old Jayden Galbert complained to his mother, Shynelle Jones, about the heat, but didn’t want to skip preseason football practice and hurt his chances of making the freshman football team. Instead, he showed up, pushed himself to participate, and then collapsed on the field. “He started vomiting and he was shaking,” Jones says. “He couldn’t see. He was trying to focus, but he couldn’t.” Jayden was eventually airlifted to UC Davis Medical Center, where he was diagnosed with...

Pharmacists Act on Care Transitions in Stroke (PACT-Stroke): A Systems Approach
This study was a single-center, retrospective assessment of patients contacted by a pharmacist. All data were analyzed descriptively. Our initial evaluation of the Pharmacists Act on Care Transitions in Stroke (PACT-Stroke) service was to quantify and categorize drug-related problems (DRPs), which included drug selection, drug form, dose selection, treatment duration, dispensing, drug use process, patient-related problems, and other. Patients were included if they were adults who experienced an ischemic stroke. Exclusion criteria for this service included pediatric patients, patients with hemorrhagic strokes, patients with...

Stroke-related risk factors during pregnancy in women who underwent metabolic and bariatric surgery compared with women who have not undergone metabolic and bariatric surgery
CONCLUSIONS: MBS helps women lose weight and decrease the incidence of some pregnancy-related risk factors for stroke. However, there is a notable racial health disparity.PMID:37150625 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2023.03.017

Scientific Landscape of Oxidative Stress in Stroke: From a Bibliometric Analysis to an in-Depth Review
Neurochem Res. 2023 Jul 28. doi: 10.1007/s11064-023-03999-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease resulting from either obstruction or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. Oxidative stress (OS), referred to a status where cellular oxidative capacities overwhelm antioxidative defenses, is involved in the pathophysiology of stroke. The bibliometric analysis and in-depth review aim to depict the research trend of OS in stroke. Relevant scientific publications were acquired from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Scientific landscape of OS in stroke was illustrated by general qu...
