Analysis of Influencing Factors of Compliance with Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulant in Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation and Correlation with the Severity of Ischemic Stroke
In this study, a total of 156 patients with NVAF who received NOAC anticoagulation therapy in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The results showed that education background, place of residence, number of complications, CHA2DS2-VASc score, and HAS-BLED score were independent influencing factors for NOACS compliance of NVAF patients. Also, the Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a negative correlation (r = -0.465, P < 0.001) between NOAC compliance and severity of ischemic stroke in patients with NVAF. Therefore, clinical supervision and management of patients wit...

Associations between quality of life and socioeconomic factors, functional impairments and dissatisfaction with received information and home-care services among survivors living at home two years after stroke onset
This study explores the associations between QoL and socioeconomic factors, functional impairments and self-reported dissatisfaction with received information and home-care services among survivors two years after stroke onset. This problem remains partially addressed though optimal information and services may improve survivors' QoL. Methods: Stroke-survivors admitted to all hospitals in Luxembourg 18 months or more previously were identified using the only care-expenditure-reimbursement national system database. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed. Ninety four patients aged 65 years and living at home were interviewed t...

Superhero Joey: Five-year-old fights moyamoya disease
It’s been said that not all heroes wear capes — but Joey Gallagher owns several. The five-year-old has already amassed a collection of superhero gear, from a Superman Halloween costume to a t-shirt emblazoned with the Batman logo. Yet even the most diehard comic book fan would likely admit that feats like flying, leaping tall buildings and fighting bad guys don’t hold a candle to the challenges this little boy has already surmounted. Just last June, Joey was out of town with his family when he had what his parents, Leila and Scott, feared was a seizure. Clinicians in the emergency department dismissed the event as he...

Effects of educational television commercial on pre-hospital delay in patients with ischemic stroke wore off after the end of the campaign
In patients with ischemic stroke, the time until initiation of therapy is an important factor for good clinical outcome because thrombolysis by intravenous tissue plasminogen activator or endovascular thrombectomy is only an option for a limited time after the onset of stroke. A number of campaigns have been conducted to increase awareness of stroke symptoms and to urge those suffering symptoms to visit hospital promptly when stroke is suspected. However, sufficient evidence for their effects on behavior changes of the lay public is not available [1].

Recovery in My Lens: A Study on Stroke Vlogs.
In this study, we analyzed 246 such YouTube vlogs to better understand this new form of patient story-telling and its value to vloggers, viewers, as well as healthcare professionals. We found that vlogging helps stroke patients overcome physical and speech constraints to self-journal, and to connect with other people online. Based on these findings, we discuss how future health systems may leverage vlogs to design self-tracking technologies, to generate patient health data, and to offer patient-centered education.

The Effect of Home Base Physical Activity Program based on the BASNEF Model on Motor Recovery in Patients with Stroke.
Authors: Esteki-Ghashghaei F, Saadatnia M, Khorvash F, Shahnazi H Abstract The present study aimed to determine the effect of education based on the BASNEF model on the physical activity and improvement of motor activity in patients with stroke. This randomized control trial study was conducted on 40 patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to a teaching hospital in Isfahan, Iran from August 2017 to September 2018. The patients were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention included personal education and a manual CD of physical activity for the intervention group.

COVID-19 Is a Catalyst for Future Changes in Stroke Nursing Care
INTRODUCTION: During the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals still have to meet external regulations while delivering compassionate patient care. This reflections article provides a solution for certified stroke programs to continue to meet stroke certification requirements. One area of focus, in this article, is stroke education. Because of “shelter-in-place orders,” there were no visitors permitted at the bedside, yet we know that high-quality poststroke education is important to improve outcomes. The purpose of this reflections article is to share what has worked at my institution. INNOVATIONS: We found that calling family...

Evaluation of patients with stroke monitored by home care programs
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the patient with a stroke in home treatment, investigating physical capacity, mental status and anthropometric analysis. This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Fortaleza/CE, from January to April of 2010. Sixty-one individuals monitored by a home care program of three tertiary hospitals were investigated, through interviews and the application of scales. The majority of individuals encountered were female (59%), elderly, bedridden, with a low educational level, a history of other stroke, a high degree of dependence for basic (73.8%) and instrumental (80.3 %) activities of da...

Emergency transport times for stroke patients still in need of improvement
(Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery) Despite efforts to close the time gap between symptom onset and stroke treatment -- including improvements in public education, 911 dispatch operations, pre-hospital detection and triage, hospital stroke system development, and stroke unit management -- a new study presented today at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery 12th Annual Meeting suggests that delays in emergency transport are still prevalent and that improvements are needed to ensure patients can be treated within the optimal time window.

An educational intervention allows for greater prehospital recognition of acute stroke
We performed a study to determine whether a brief educational intervention directed at pre-hospital providers would increase the identification of stroke victims in the pre-hospital setting. The purpose of this IRB approved, before-and-after research project was to determine whether the implementation of Advanced Stroke Life Support Class (ASLS) [1] training for pre-hospital providers would lead to improved field identification of stroke.
