The regularity of orthosis use and the reasons for disuse in stroke patients
This is a Retrospective descriptive study. Orthoses and walking aids are used frequently in stroke rehabilitation to facilitate ambulation. The aim was to describe the regularity of orthosis use and the reasons for disuse in stroke after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. The study included 64 (43 men, 21 women) subacute stroke patients who had been discharged from our clinic in the last 6 months. Demographic and clinical findings, proposed orthoses and walking aids, frequency of usage for the proposed orthoses, reasons for disuse, and the ambulation levels were recorded. A total of 54 (84.4%) patients had an ankleâ€...

Pivotal pathogenic and biomarker role of Chlamydia Pneumoniae in neurovascular diseases.
Abstract Chlamydia pneumoniae(C.Pn) is an obligatory intracellular bacterium that is associated with respiratory tract infections like pneumonia, pharyngitis and bronchitis. It has also been implicated in cerebrovascular (stroke) as well as cardiovascular diseases. The most possible pathway via which C.Pn elicits its pathogenesis could be via activation of human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation resulting in the stimulation of toll like receptor-4 (TLR-4) and/or phospho-44/42(p44/p42) mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). It is also established that tyrosine phosphorylation of IQ domain GTPase...

The spread of medical fake news in social media – The pilot quantitative study
ConclusionsAnalyzing social media top shared news could contribute to identification of leading fake medical information miseducating the society. It might also encourage authorities to take actions such as put warnings on biased domains or scientifically evaluate those generating fake health news.

Predicting the oxygen cost of walking in hemiparetic stroke patients
ConclusionCwfree was strongly correlated with Sfree, which allowed for the development of a valid Cwfree prediction model. A practitioner could estimate the energy expenditure of walking for a patient without using an indirect calorimeter.

Brain CT perfusion improves intracranial vessel occlusion detection on CT angiography
ConclusionThe performance of intracranial vessel occlusion detection on CTA was improved with the availability of brain CT perfusion maps due to the improved detection of distal and posterior circulation vessel occlusions.

Determinants of left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction in an hiv clinical cohort
Given the remarkable improvement in the life expectancy of persons living with HIV (PLWH) worldwide, non-AIDS chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease (CVD) have emerged as leading causes of morbidity and mortality in this population. CVD is now the fourth leading cause of death among PLWH behind AIDS related malignancies/opportunistic infections, non-AIDS related malignancies and liver disease (1). After adjusting for known CVD risk factors, PLWH are at higher risk for major CVD events such as myocardial infarction, stroke and sudden cardiac death compared to uninfected persons (2, 3).

Exertional Heat Stroke, the Return to Play Decision, and the Role of Heat Tolerance Testing: A Clinician's Dilemma
Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality among both athletes and warfighters. Since current evidence suggests that the history of a prior event is an important risk factor for an EHS event, sports medicine providers can find post-EHS return to play/duty (RTP/D) decisions challenging. Heat tolerance testing is a tool that can help with such decisions by exposing the subject to a given heat load under controlled conditions to assess the presence or absence of heat tolerance. This special communication explores the challenge of the RTP/D after an EHS event and the potential role o...

Effect of neuro-orthopaedic surgery for spastic equinovarus foot after stroke. A prospective longitudinal study based on a goal-centered approach.
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms the efficacy of the neuro-orthopaedic surgical treatment of spastic equinovarus foot after stroke to improve walking capacities and to achieve personal goals in the body function and activity/participation domains of the ICF.

Managing of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Following Stroke
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThis comprehensive up-to-date review will synthesise relevant available literature on the topic of post-stroke lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). Topics include epidemiology of LUTD, LUTD as a prognostic indicator for stroke recovery, urinary incontinence and retention, correlations between brain lesion localisation and LUTD, causes of LUTD, medical complications due to LUTD, diagnostics and contemporary management of LUTD in stroke patients.Recent FindingsLUTD frequently occurs after a stroke and is associated with poor overall functional outcome, increased institutionalisation and mortality ...

The history of basilar artery occlusion: when art aids science
ABSTRACT Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) ischemic stroke is a relatively rare condition with high morbidity and mortality rates. To date, the best acute reperfusion therapy for BAO has still not been established, mainly due to the lack of randomized controlled trials in this field. In this article, we review the history of BAO diagnosis and treatment, and the impact of modern technological resources on the clinical evolution and prognosis of BAO over time. Furthermore, we describe historical events and nonmedical literature descriptions related to BAO. We conclude that BAO is a singular example of how art may help medical s...
