Methanol induced stroke: report of cases occurring simultaneously in two biological brothers - Owolabi LF, Enwere OO, Ahmed Reda AR, Sayed Sayd RE, Elrazek H, Adamu B, AlGhamdi M.
Methanol bears semblance to ethanol in smell and taste, thus, individuals who indulge in alcohol may fall back on it in societies where alcohol consumption is illegal or difficult to come by despite the life-threatening neurologic sequelae of methanol toxi...

Post-traumatic stress disorder: a differential diagnostic consideration for COVID-19 survivors - Kaseda ET, Levine AJ.
OBJECTIVE: SARS-CoV-2 infection and its oft-associated illness COVID-19 may lead to neuropsychological deficits, either through direct mechanisms (i.e., neurovirulance) or indirect mechanisms, most notably complications caused by the virus (e.g., stroke) o...

Canes may not improve spatiotemporal parameters of walking after stroke: a systematic review of cross-sectional within-group experimental studies - Avelino PR, Nascimento LR, Menezes KKP, Ada L, Teixeira-Salmela LF.
PURPOSE: To examine whether using a cane would improve spatiotemporal parameters of walking, i.e., speed, stride length, cadence, and symmetry after stroke.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Searches were conducted in eight databases. The experimental condition wa...

Determining the optimal dose of reactive balance training after stroke: study protocol for a pilot randomised controlled trial - Mansfield A, Inness EL, Danells CJ, Jagroop D, Bhatt T, Huntley AH.
INTRODUCTION: Falls risk poststroke is highest soon after discharge from rehabilitation. Reactive balance training (RBT) aims to improve control of reactions to prevent falling after a loss of balance. In healthy older adults, a single RBT session can lead...

Reliability and validity of the Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale-Japanese (ABC-J) in community-dwelling stroke survivors - Ishige S, Wakui S, Miyazawa Y, Naito H.
OBJECTIVE: In Japan, there were 1.17 million people with stroke in 2014; however, studies on community rehabilitation among stroke survivors are lacking. The Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale is used in many languages to evaluate patients ...

Readmissions for depression and suicide attempt following stroke and myocardial infarction - Stein LK, Kornspun A, Erdman J, Dhamoon MS.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Rates of depression after ischemic stroke (IS) and myocardial infarction (MI) are significantly higher than in the general population and associated with morbidity and mortality. There is a lack of nationally representative data com...

Establishment and effectiveness evaluation of a scoring system for exertional heat stroke by retrospective analysis - Yang MM, Wang L, Zhang Y, Yuan R, Zhao Y, Hu J, Zhou FH, Kang HJ.
BACKGROUND: Heat stroke (HS) is a serious, life-threatening disease. However, there is no scoring system for HS so far. This research is to establish a scoring system that can quantitatively assess the severity of exertional heat stroke (EHS).
METHODS:...

Differential coagulotoxicity of metalloprotease isoforms from Bothrops neuwiedi snake venom and consequent variations in antivenom efficacy - Sousa LF, Bernardoni JL, Zdenek CN, Dobson J, Coimbra F, Gillett A, Lopes-Ferreira M, Moura-da-Silva AM, Fry BG.
Bothrops (lance-head pit vipers) venoms are rich in weaponised metalloprotease enzymes (SVMP). These toxic enzymes are structurally diverse and functionally versatile. Potent coagulotoxicity is particularly important for prey capture (via stroke-induction)...

A comparison of three balance-assessment scales for patients after stroke with various levels of balance disorder - Rudolf M, Vidmar G, Goljar N.
It is often difficult for the clinician to choose the most appropriate balance-assessment measure. We wanted to facilitate this decision based on the stroke patient's functional abilities. The aim of our study was to compare three established scales [Berg ...

Slip-fall predictors in community-dwelling, ambulatory stroke survivors: a cross-sectional study - Gangwani R, Dusane S, Wang S, Kannan L, Wang E, Fung J, Bhatt T.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Considering the multifactorial nature and the often-grave consequences of falls in people with chronic stroke (PwCS), determining measurements that best predict fall risk is essential for identifying those who are at high risk. We a...

External validation of the recurrent falls risk scale in community-dwelling stroke individuals - Guimar ães M, Monteiro MM, Matos RT, Furtado MC, Maia HF, Almeida LRS, Filho JO, Pinto EB.
OBJECTIVE: To externally validate the Recurrent Fall Risk Scale (ReFR) in community-dwelling stroke survivors.
METHODS: Cohort of stroke survivors with independent gait ability recruited from a reference outpatient stroke clinic. Besides sociodemograph...

Cortical priming strategies for gait training after stroke: a controlled, stratified trial - Madhavan S, Cleland BT, Sivaramakrishnan A, Freels S, Lim H, Testai FD, Corcos DM.
BACKGROUND: Stroke survivors experience chronic gait impairments, so rehabilitation has focused on restoring ambulatory capacity. High-intensity speed-based treadmill training (HISTT) is one form of walking rehabilitation that can improve walking, but its ...

Integrating women into ground close combat roles: an opportunity to reflect on universal paradigms of arduous training - Friedl KE, Gifford RM.
At a stroke, opening infantry roles to women has introduced a biological dimorphism among soldiers, with profound implications at every level, from metabolism and endocrinology, to fitness and strength, to psychology and ethnography.1 2 As women begin to p...

Australian health professionals' perceptions about the management of return to driving early after stroke: a mixed methods study - Frith J, James C, Hubbard I, Warren-Forward H.
BACKGROUND: Stroke can affect a person's ability to drive a motor vehicle. In Australia, there is a 4-week restriction in driving after stroke and a 2-week restriction after transient ischemic attack. Concerns exist as to whether people discharged home fro...

Heat stroke on the hottest day of the year - Kidane AS, Peters R.
Heat stroke is the most extreme form of heat-related illness. An imbalance between excessive body heat production and inadequate compensatory mechanisms can lead to multi-organ failure and even death. There are two types of heat stroke: exertional heat str...
