Can We Learn from Our Children About stroke? Effectiveness of a School-Based Educational Programme in Greece
Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and the leading cause of chronic functional limitations.1 Without appropriate and timely care between the stroke symptom appearance and the treatment in acute stroke incidents, the ischemic brain ages 3.6 years for every hour of blood deprivation.2 Yet patients repeatedly arrive late to the hospital.3,4 The lack of public awareness about stroke symptoms has been reported in the literature as one of the main factors, causing this belated arrival to the hospital and hence the belated medical treatment.

Investigation of Factors That Affect the Quality of Life After a Stroke
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2023;1425:437-442. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-31986-0_42.ABSTRACTStroke, as a disease, describes a group of disorders characterized by the presence of central nervous system symptoms either as a result of ischemia (ischemic stroke) or bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke). The appearance of a stroke results in a permanent physical or cognitive disability. The stroke incidence is the third cause of death after heart disease and cancer, and is the main cause of long-term disability.The effects of a stroke on a patient's daily life, and hence on his quality of life, are intense and long-lasting. These include memory pro...

An Overview of Stroke Infrastructure, Network, and Nursing Services in Contemporary Greece
This article describes the provision of stroke services in Greece and addresses the possible effects of the hospital rotation system. Unique to Greece is a centrally administered rotation system for hospital 24-hour on-call systems in the major cities. This means that a hospital may admit new patients only during specific 24-hour periods every 3 to 5 days. All Greek city hospitals must conform to this rotation basis for emergency and scheduled admissions. Patients with stroke arrive to designated rotation on-call hospital via ambulance or taxi or by private means and are first seen in the accident and emergency department ...

Service provision for stroke: The Greek paradox
Stroke remains a leading cause of mortality, as well as of subsequent serious long-term physical and mental morbidity. This places special demands for updated clinical excellence and optimum organization of stroke care services. Stroke units have been shown to improve patient outcomes. Thus, many western countries have developed and implemented sophisticated stroke facilities and corresponding public awareness strategies. These cannot be easily “translated” in Greece due to special features on the hospital administration system such as a unique rotation system for acute admissions and long-standing austerity.
