Combined Clinical and Home Rehabilitation: A Case Report of an Integrated Knowledge-to-Action Study in a Dutch Rehabilitation Stroke Unit.
DISCUSSION: Improving local settings with available evidence is not a straightforward application process but rather a matter of searching, logical reasoning, and creatively working with heterogeneous knowledge sources in partnership with different stakeholders. Multiple organizational levels need to be addressed rather than focusing on therapists as sole site of change. PMID: 25504490 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Dutch String‐of‐Pearls Stroke Study: Protocol of a large prospective multicenter genetic cohort study
BackgroundIn the last couple of years, genome‐wide association studies have largely altered the scope in genetic research in diseases in which both environmental and genetic risk factors contribute to the disease. To date, the genetic risk loci identified in stroke have lagged behind those in other complex diseases, possibly because of the heterogeneity of stroke phenotypes. Sufficiently large cohorts with well‐defined and detailed phenotyping of stroke patients are needed to identify additional genetic risk loci. DesignThe String‐of‐Pearls Institute is a unique partnership between all eight University Medical Cent...

Stroke treatment, outcomes improve at hospitals participating in UCLA-led initiative
Administering a clot-dissolving drug to stroke victims quickly — ideally within the first 60 minutes after they arrive at a hospital emergency room — is crucial to saving their lives, preserving their brain function and reducing disability. Given intravenously, tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) is currently the only Food and Drug Administration–approved therapy shown to improve outcomes for patients suffering acute ischemic stroke, which affects some 800,000 Americans annually. Now, a UCLA-led study demonstrates that hospitals participating in the "Target: Stroke" national quality-improvement program have markedly...

Comorbid Conditions in Heart Failure: An Unhappy Marriage
The general issue of comorbidity is of major clinical importance for patients, health care providers, and society as a whole. A principal manifestation of aging, multimorbidity poses many challenges on the overall health of an individual and to the health care system in heart failure. Polypharmacy in heart failure patients with multiple morbidities influences their prognosis, adds a disease burden, and challenges adherence to medical management while increasing overall cost of care. Heart failure has special bidirectional relationships with cardiac and noncardiac comorbidity that are pathophysiologically intertwined. Examp...

A service evaluation of the feasibility of a community-based consultant and stroke navigator review of health and social care needs in stroke survivors 6 weeks after hospital discharge.
Abstract The Department of Health Stroke Strategy (2007) recommends that post stroke patients are reviewed within 6 weeks of discharge. Historically, a 6-week outpatient appointment was offered. This was primarily a medical review and not a full assessment of health, social care status and secondary prevention needs. An innovative joint domiciliary clinic was developed in order to meet these recommendations. The joint clinic reviews were conducted by a stroke consultant and an allied health professional. There were no readmissions at 6 weeks and 6 months post stroke. User satisfaction was very high and there were ...
