Stroke Survivors Experience Elevated Levels of Loneliness: A Multi-Year Analysis of the National Survey for Wales
CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate that elevated levels of loneliness poststroke are robust in that they replicate in large nationally representative samples and cannot be reduced to objective measures of social isolation. The work has clinical and societal relevance by suggesting that loneliness poststroke is unlikely to be adequately "treated" if only the quantity and not the quality of social experiences are considered.PMID:34189561 | DOI:10.1093/arclin/acab046

The Need for Structured Strategies to Improve Stroke Care in a Rural Telestroke Network in Northern New South Wales, Australia: An Observational Study
Conclusion: In our telestroke network, acute stroke timing metrics did not improve over time. There is the need for targeted education and training focusing on both stroke reperfusion competencies and the technical aspects of telestroke in areas with limited workforce and high turnover.

Medical complications of surgery: an orthogeriatrician's perspective
Hip fracture is one of the most common admission diagnoses in the UK, accounting for>75,000 hospital admissions per year in England and Wales. Fractured neck of femur can be classified as a ‘frailty’ presentation because of an average age of>80 years, a clear association with ‘pathological falls’, including syncope, and a high number of co-morbidities. The combination of traumatic injury, frailty and surgery presents significant challenges to the managing team and requires a multidisciplinary approach to reduce the risk of perioperative complications, most commonly p ostoperative delirium, sepsis, cardiac complicat...

Oxygen sensing; a stunningly elegant molecular machinery highjacked in cancer.
Abstract Oxygen is of fundamental importance for most living organisms, and the maintenance of oxygen homeostasis is a key physiological challenge for all large animals. Oxygen deprivation, hypoxia, is a critical component of many human diseases including cancer, heart disease, stroke, vascular disease, and anaemia. The discovery of oxygen sensing provides fundamental knowledge of a stunningly elegant molecular machinery; it also promises development of new therapeutics for serious diseases such as cancer. As a result of their impressive contributions to our understanding of the mechanisms by which cells sense oxy...

Population-based stroke surveillance using big data: state-wide epidemiological trends in admissions and mortality in New South Wales, Australia.
DISCUSSION: Improved prevention may have underpinned declining intracerebral haemorrhage rates while survival gains suggest that innovations in care are being successfully translated. Mortality in patients surviving the acute period is unchanged and may be increasing for subarachnoid haemorrhage warranting investment in post-discharge care and secondary prevention.

Evaluation of the MCAST, a multidisciplinary toolkit to improve mental capacity assessment.
Conclusions: The MCAST is the first toolkit to support the needs of individuals with communication disabilities during mental capacity assessments. It enables assessors to deliver high quality, legally compliant and confident practice.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONMental capacity assessment practice needs to be improved to maximise patient autonomy, safety and well-being.The MCAST is a paper-based toolkit designed to facilitate and improve mental capacity practice in England and Wales.This study suggests the MCAST would be easy and acceptable to use in healthcare settings and could lead to improvements in assessment quali...

Rivaroxaban Plus Aspirin Versus Aspirin Alone in Patients with Prior Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (COMPASS-PCI).
Conclusions: DPI compared with aspirin produced consistent reductions in MACE and mortality but with increased major bleeding with or without prior PCI. Among those with prior PCI one- year and beyond, effects on MACE and mortality were consistent irrespective of time since last PCI.
