Measuring communication as a core outcome in aphasia trials: Results of the ROMA-2 international core outcome set development meeting
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Consensus was achieved that TST was the preferred communication OMI for inclusion in the ROMA COS. It is currently available in the original Dutch version and has been adapted into English, German and Greek. Further consideration must be given to the best way to measure communication in people with mild aphasia. Development of a patient-reported measure for satisfaction with/impact of treatment and multilingual versions of all OMIs of the COS is still required. Implementation of the ROMA COS would improve research outcome measurement and the quality, relevance, transparency, replicability and ef...

Moving from traditional to more advanced treatments in stroke care is cost-effective: A case study from Greece
Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability,1, 2 with the economic burden of post-stroke care being substantial.1, 2 After incidence of IS, the following effective treatments have been found to significantly improve survival and quality of life: (a) treatment in specialized centres (Stroke Units; SU), (b) use of intravenous thrombolytic therapy (IVT), (c) use of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for patients with large vessel occlusions (LVO) and (d) rehabilitation.

How to Lower Your Cholesterol Naturally
In the years following World War II, physicians in the U.S. and Europe noticed a surprising phenomenon: rates of heart attack and stroke fell dramatically in many places. Autopsies from this period also revealed reduced rates of atherosclerosis, which is a buildup of fatty arterial plaques that causes cardiovascular disease.
At first, experts were perplexed. But as time passed, many concluded that wartime food deprivations and the forced shifts in people’s diets—namely, big reductions in the consumption of red meat and other animal products—contributed to the heart-health improvements. Later work, particu...

267 When investigating stroke is a waste of time
Young stroke should alert clinicians to investigate for unusual causes.
A previously well 43-year-old Caucasian female presented with 2 days of punctuated left sided weakness and sensory inattention. MRI demonstrated multiple territory infarcts, predominantly on the right side. With no vascular risk factors, high dose steroids were commenced assuming primary angiitis of the CNS (PACNS). Blood tests including ESR, HIV, an autoimmune and thrombotic screen and blood cultures were negative. A 24-hour ECG and TOE failed to identify an embolic source, though interval MRIs plus CT angi- ography revealed evolving cerebral and sple...

Adaptation of The Scenario Test for Greek-speaking people with aphasia: A reliability and validity study
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The psychometric qualities of The Scenario Test-GR support the reliability and validity of the tool for the assessment of FC in Greek-speaking PWA. The test can be used to assess multimodal FC, promote aphasia rehabilitation goal-setting at the activity and participation levels, and be used as an outcome measure of everyday communication abilities.PMID:35555844 | DOI:10.1111/1460-6984.12727

Can We Learn from Our Children About stroke? Effectiveness of a School-Based Educational Programme in Greece
Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and the leading cause of chronic functional limitations.1 Without appropriate and timely care between the stroke symptom appearance and the treatment in acute stroke incidents, the ischemic brain ages 3.6 years for every hour of blood deprivation.2 Yet patients repeatedly arrive late to the hospital.3,4 The lack of public awareness about stroke symptoms has been reported in the literature as one of the main factors, causing this belated arrival to the hospital and hence the belated medical treatment.

Mortality and morbidity from infectious and non-communicable diseases in Greece during Axis/Nazi military occupation (1941-1944)
In conclusion, we found that the Axis/Nazi military occupation of Greece had considerable health effects on infectious diseases and hemorrhagic stroke mortality. Deaths ostensibly due to infectious diseases (e.g. tuberculosis or malaria), were expedited by the hunger famine of the period under investigation. With regard to the elevated mortality due to hemorrhagic stroke, we believe that the stressful events of occupation and famine have triggered increased psychosocial stress which in turn may have increased the risk of hemorrhagic stroke mortality during the period of Axis/Nazi occupation of Greece.PMID:35350253 | PMC:PM...
