Should beetles be named after Adolf Hitler?
In 1934, a German paleontologist named a giant flying insect from the Carboniferous period Rochlingia hitleri , after Adolf Hitler, who had just taken power in Germany, and Hermann Röchling, an anti-semitic steel manufacturer and member of the Nazi Party. Three years later, an Austrian amateur entomologist named a brown, eyeless beetle from Slovenian caves Anophthalmus hitleri because he admired Hitler. In recent years, neo-Nazis have reportedly paid thousands for specimens, pushing the beetle toward extinction . Some researchers have argued for years that A. hitleri and other spec...

Extreme Heat Makes It Hard for Kids To Be Active. But Exercise Is Crucial In a Warming World
Getting kids to be active in a modern world is a tough sell. It can be hard to compete with indoor comforts like video games, television, and air conditioning. Sweltering weather is another formidable barrier to kids getting enough physical activity, finds a new scientific review published in the journal Temperature that analyzed more than 150 studies. Children today are about 30% less aerobically fit than their parents were at their same age, leaving them less prepared to acclimate to a hotter, more extreme climate as they age, the study concluded. “The outside world is becoming more of an extreme environment for hu...

Trends in Stroke Burden in Central and Eastern Europe from 1990 –2019
Conclusions: The burden of stroke contributes to the European health gap through preventable premature stroke deaths. There are some very successful countries in stroke burden management from both Central (Slovenia, Czech Republic, and Hungary) and East Europe (Estonia), suggesting that closing the health gap between East and West is a realistic aim.

Idarucizumab for dabigatran reversal in daily clinical practice: A case series
CONCLUSION Our first experiences with idarucizumab use in daily-care settings support a rapid and efficient decrease in the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran in emergency situations. Late re-occurrence of dabigatran effect was noted in a subset of patients with severe renal failure.

Has COVID-19 played an unexpected “stroke” on the chain of survival?
The COVID-19 pandemics required several changes in stroke management and it may have influenced some clinical or functional characteristics. We aimed to evaluate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemics on stroke management during the first month of Italy lockdown. In addition, we described the emergency structured pathway adopted by an Italian University Hub Stroke Unit in the cross-border Italy-Slovenia area.

The validity of the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) for the screening of vascular cognitive impairment after ischemic stroke
AbstractVascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is a common feature of vascular brain lesions. The heterogeneity of clinical presentation after a stroke makes it challenging to find. However, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) may be suitable for such purpose. Aim of the present study was to validate the Slovenian version of MoCA for detecting cognitive impairment after ischemic stroke. Seventy patients up to three months after ischemic stroke and 69 age-matched healthy control were included. All performed the MoCA and Hachinski Ischemic Scale (HIS). Cut-off value, sensitivity, specificity and likelihood ratio of M...

IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 2013: Intracranial Vertebrobasilar Calcification in Patients with Ischemic Stroke is a Predictor of Recurrent Stroke, Vascular Disease, and Death: A Case-Control Study
ner Pikija Intracranial artery calcification can be detected on nonenhanced brain computer tomography (NECT) and is a predictor of early vascular events. Here, we assessed the impact of vertebrobasilar artery calcification (VBC) on the long-term risk for recurrent stroke and vascular events. We performed a case-control trial of all consecutive stroke patients admitted to the University Hospital of Maribor, Slovenia over a period of 14 months. VBC was defined as presence of a hyperdense area within vertebrobasilar arteries that exceeds > 90 Hounsfield units as seen on NECT. Clinical follow-up information w...

Goal-oriented attentional self-regulation training in individuals with acquired brain injury in a subacute phase: a pilot feasibility study
The primary aim of this prospective pilot study was to assess feasibility of implementing goal-oriented attentional self-regulation (GOALS) training in Slovenia with patients with multiple cognitive deficits after acquired brain injury in acute phase of recovery. Seven patients with acquired brain injury (i.e. stroke, traumatic brain injury, and subarachnoid hemorrhage) with a mean postinjury time of 4.3 months (SD = 1.25) and mean age of 34.5 years (SD = 18.6) were recruited for the study. The group program consisted of 10 sessions twice a week and included cognitive strategy training, social skills training, and psychoed...

Benefits of Motor Imagery for Human Space Flight: A Brief Review of Current Knowledge and Future Applications
Conclusion: How to Implement MI Into the Preparation and Mission of the Astronauts Motor imagery should ideally be performed before, during, and after exposure to microgravity to prepare for the lack of gravity, counteract the effects of weightlessness and promote the re-adaptation to normogravity. A quite similar theoretical viewpoint had been nicely proposed by Bock et al. (2015), who more specifically focused on the preparation period few days before landing. These authors developed two phases of individual MI training program to reach an optimal level of preparation before exposure to microgravity. In the first phase,...
