International Nursing Collaboration to Establish the Philippine Quit Line: Using a Conceptual Model for Partnership and Sustainability in Global Health
Tobacco use remains the single most preventable cause of death and disability worldwide. In the Philippines, 28.3% of the people are current tobacco smokers, which is one of the highest smoking rates in Asia. The World Health Organization estimates that 10 Filipinos die every day from cancer, stroke, and lung and heart disease caused by cigarette smoke and approximately 24 million Filipinos are exposed to secondhand smoke in the home. Although there are quit lines in all 50 U.S. states and territories, there was no access to this smoking cessation program in the Philippines before the initiation of the international collab...

Perceived Usefulness of a Social Robot Augmented Telehealth Platform by Therapists in the United States
IEEE Robot Autom Lett. 2021 Apr;6(2):2946-2953. doi: 10.1109/lra.2021.3062349. Epub 2021 Feb 25.ABSTRACTWith the shortage of rehabilitation clinicians in rural areas and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, remote rehabilitation (telerehab) fills an important gap in access to rehabilitation, especially for the treatment of adults and children experiencing upper arm disability due to stroke and cerebral palsy. We propose the use of a socially assistive robot with arms, a torso, and a face to play games with and guide patients, coupled with a telepresence platform, to maintain the patient-clinician interaction, and a computer visi...

An Analysis of the Inclusion of Women, Older Individuals, and Racial/Ethnic Minorities in Rehabilitation Clinical Trials
Conclusions In this study, we found that among participants of rehabilitation clinical trials women, older individuals, and racial/ethnic minorities were generally underrepresented. In contrast, Black or African American participants were overrepresented with the exception of cardiac trials. An important finding was that many trials did not report age and/or race/ethnicity. Investigators should aim to include underrepresented populations and improve reporting.

Intra-arterial Thrombolysis to Target Occlusions in Distal Arteries and the Microcirculation
Acute ischemic stroke remains a leading cause of disability in the United States and worldwide despite substantially improved treatments for the most severe strokes over the last 5 years. Treatment of severe ischemic strokes, specifically those due to occlusion of large intracranial arteries, has been transformed by endovascular removal of the thrombus using stent retrievers or aspiration catheters. Treatment with mechanical thrombectomy is associated with a 20% to 27% absolute increase in the rate of functional independence compared with patients not treated with thrombectomy. Despite highly efficacious treatment, approxi...

Neurologic emergencies can be difficult to diagnose and treat, and are devastating if missed. Stroke is still the number five cause of death in the United States, down from number three a few years ago, and is the leading cause of long-term serious disability. Nonconvulsive status epilepticus is a substantial problem in intensive care units. Traumatic brain injuries from head trauma are a leading cause of post-traumatic stress in many populations. Then we have spine injuries, headache, back pain, infections, and vision problems, which present to emergency departments on a daily basis.
