Post-stroke gait training practices in a low resource setting: A cross-sectional survey among Indian physiotherapists
CONCLUSION: The findings of the study point toward a lack of evidence-based practice among Indian physiotherapists while training gait after stroke. This implied the urgent need for development and implementation of country specific guidelines for stroke rehabilitation.PMID:33967067 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-210013

GSE173713 RNA Sequencing of WT Aged Vehicle vs. HPBCD Infarcts
Contributors : Danielle A Becktel ; Kristian P DoyleSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusWe systematically characterized the transcriptomes of stroke infarcts in vehicle- and HP βCD-treated aged (18-month-old) mice by performing bulk RNA-Seq on infarcted brain tissue collected 7 weeks after distal middle cerebral artery occlusion + hypoxia (DH) stroke. The DE analysis revealed 991 upregulated genes and 1,876 downregulated genes. HPβCD treatment upregulated intracellular c holesterol transporters, lipoproteins, and lipoprotein receptors, such as Npc1, Npc2, Apoe, Trem2, Ab...

To Decompress or Not? An Expected Utility Inspired Approach To Shared decision-making For Supratentorial Ischemic Stroke
AbstractPatients with large territorial supratentorial infarctions are at high risk of cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure, tissue herniation and death. There is strong evidence supporting prompt decompressive craniectomy after large hemispheric ischemic stroke as a means to reduce mortality. Nevertheless, functional outcomes can vary significantly. Clinical trials have traditionally judged these outcomes by a priori dichotomization without taking into account individual patient and caregiver preferences. If these are not incorporated into shared decision-making, there are significant risks in both directions, ...

Omega-3 fatty acids for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
CONCLUSIONS: According to moderate- to high-certainty evidence, short-chain fatty acids and LCn3 have little or no effect on mortality or cardiovascular health. However, omega-3 ALA slightly reduces the risk of CVD events and arrhythmias. PMID: 33403957 [PubMed - in process]

Aphasia and spelling to dictation: Analysis of spelling errors and editing.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Word length and word frequency should be taken into consideration in spelling tests for persons with aphasia, and the presence of editing difficulty should be taken into account when assessing spelling difficulties. Treatment for writing difficulties in aphasia should include training in successful editing strategies and individual fitting of digital writing aids. What this paper adds What is already known on the subject Post-stroke aphasia often causes writing and spelling difficulties. Spelling difficulties may entail editing difficulties, in turn causing extensive and/or unsuccessful edit...

Energetics of Swimming With Hand Paddles of Different Surface Areas
Crocker, GH, Moon, JF, Nessler, JA, and Newcomer, SC. Energetics of swimming with hand paddles of different surface areas. J Strength Cond Res 35(1): 205–211, 2021—Hand paddles are one of the most common training aids used by the competitive swimmer, yet little is known regarding how hand paddle surface area affects the metabolic cost of transport (COT) while swimming. The purpose of this study was to determine how altering hand paddle size affects energy use during submaximal, front-crawl (i.e., freestyle) swimming. Twenty-six proficient, adult swimmers (13 men and 13 women) completed six 3-minute trials in a flume at...

The Attitudes of Physicians and the General Public toward Prognostic Disclosure of Different Serious Illnesses: a Korean Nationwide Study.
CONCLUSION: Most Physicians and the general public agreed that disclosure of a terminal prognosis respects patient autonomy for several serious illnesses. The low response rate of physicians might limit the generalizability of the results. PMID: 33289368 [PubMed - in process]

Motor Imagery Hand Movement Direction Decoding Using Brain Computer Interface to Aid Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation
Motor Imagery (MI)-based Brain Computer Interface (BCI) system is a potential technology for active neurorehabilitation of stroke patients by complementing the conventional passive rehabilitation methods. Research to date mainly focused on classifying left vs. right hand/foot MI of stroke patients. Though a very few studies have reported decoding imagined hand movement directions using electroencephalogram (EEG)-based BCI, the experiments were conducted on healthy subjects. Our work analyzes MI-based brain cortical activity from EEG signals and decodes the imagined hand movement directions in stroke patients. The decoded d...

Management of cardiovascular diseases in HIV/AIDS patients
AbstractHuman immunodeficiency virus  (HIV) infection/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, a pandemic in the current population causes severe weakness of the body's immune system making the infected patient more vulnerable to life‐threatening conditions. The disease predisposes the infected patient to several cardiovascular diseases and cerebrovascular diseases such as heart failure and stroke. The decline in CD4 cells following HIV infection, vulnerability to opportunistic infections and underlying HIV pathology plays a major role in the development of cardiovascular manifestations, and treatment targeting cardiomyopath...
