Finding Power in My Panic Attacks
Trouble started in the form of rivulets of sweat dampening the waistband of my underwear. It was a bluebird afternoon in Phoenix in December of 2020, mid 60s, desert dry, and my heart was jackhammering against my ribcage. Breathing felt like I was sucking air through a stir straw. A small ABC News crew was arrayed before me, ready to broadcast the report I’d written that day, but with my vision narrowed to a needle’s eye, I could barely see them.

Telerehabilitation Following Stroke
Stroke remains a major cause of disability. Intensive rehabilitation therapy can improve outcomes, but most patients receive limited doses. Telehealth methods can overcome obstacles to delivering intensive therapy and thereby address this unmet need. A specific example is reviewed in detail, focused on a telerehabilitation system that targets upper extremity motor deficits after stroke. Strengths of this system include provision of daily therapy associated with very high patient compliance, safety and feasibility in the inpatient or home setting, comparable efficacy to dose-matched therapy provided in-clinic, and a holisti...

Integrating Cardiac Rehabilitation in Stroke Recovery
Stroke remains a top contributor to long-term disability in the United States and substantially limits a person ’s physical activity. Decreased cardiovascular capacity is a major contributing factor to activity limitations and is a significant health concern. Addressing the cardiovascular capacity of stroke survivors as part of poststroke management results in significant improvements in their endurance, fu nctional recovery, and medical outcomes such as all-cause rehospitalization and mortality. Incorporation of a structured approach similar to the cardiac rehabilitation program, including aerobic exercise and risk fact...

Is Improving Educational Attainment Key to Reducing the Burden Because of Cardiovascular Diseases?
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) impose a substantial global public health burden, accounting for significant mortality and disability worldwide, particularly because of conditions like coronary heart disease and stroke. The economic consequences of CVDs, including healthcare expenses, decreased productivity, and diminished quality of life, further contribute to this burden. Lifestyle factors such as unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption are closely associated with CVDs.

Using bibliotherapy to rebuild identity for people with aphasia: A book club experience
CONCLUSION: The themes align positively with outcomes associated with the bibliotherapy process. Themes also integrate into a self-management model that promotes self-efficacy through education, support, awareness, problem solving and goal setting. Caveats included determining participant readiness to examine recovery issues and facilitator preparation. Aphasia book clubs surrounding psychosocial texts may help PwA reconstruct a positive post-stroke identity.PMID:37517172 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106363
