Worldwide the trend is towards its decrease, and there are geographical areas, especially in Asia, with an alarming upward trend.PMID:34676530 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7309.2021138

Gamified Neurorehabilitation Strategies for Post-stroke Motor Recovery: Challenges and Advantages
AbstractPurpose of ReviewStroke is the leading cause of permanent motor disability in the United States (US), but there has been little progress in developing novel, effective strategies for treating post-stroke motor deficits. The past decade has seen the rapid development of many promising, gamified neurorehabilitation technologies; however, clinical adoption remains limited. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the recent literature surrounding the adoption and use of gamification in neurorehabilitation after stroke.Recent FindingsGamification of neurorehabilitation protocols is both feasible and effective. Deploym...

Intravenous Thrombolytics in the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo review the current evidence and ongoing clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase (TNK), an alternative tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), in the acute management of arterial ischemic stroke (AIS). To date, alteplase is the only tPA approved by the United States FDA for use in AIS.Recent FindingsThere have been multiple phase two and three trials investigating the safety and efficacy of TNK in AIS. In patients with AIS due to large vessel occlusion, one randomized controlled trial demonstrated superiority of TNK for vessel recanalization rates and long-term functional o...
