Medical Management of LVAD Patients: A Practical Guide for the Non-Expert Clinician
This article provides a concise overview of the medical management of LVAD patients aimed for non-expert clinicians. Our presentation includes the basics of LVAD physiology, design and operation, patient selection, patient assessment, medical management, adverse event identification and management, multidisciplinary care, and management of special circumstances such as non-cardiac surgery, cardiac arrest, and end-of-life care. The clinical examination of LVAD patients is unique in terms of blood-pressure and heart-rate assessment, LVAD ‘hum’ auscultation, driveline/insertion-site inspection, and device-parameter record...

Accelerated Risk of Premature Ischemic Stroke in 5‐Year Survivors of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Conclusion.Not only was the stroke risk in NPC survivors higher than that in the general population, but the onset age was also 10 years earlier. Future survivorship care should include ischemic stroke as a late complication, for its proper prevention and management.Implications for Practice.Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is endemic in Taiwan, and its 5‐year survival is 65.2%. With the increased 5‐year cancer survivors, survivorship has become an important issue. However, research on NPC survivorship is very rare. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first population‐based study on long‐term NPC survivors. This...

Use of insertable cardiac monitors for the detection of atrial fibrillation in patients with cryptogenic stroke in the United States is cost-effective.
Authors: Maervoet J, Bossers N, Borge RP, Thompson Hilpert S, van Engen A, Smala A Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and a major marker of stroke risk. Early detection is crucial and, once diagnosed, anticoagulation therapy can be initiated to reduce stroke risk. The aim of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of employing an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM), BIOMONITOR, for the detection of AF compared to standard of care (SoC) ECG and Holter monitoring in patients with cryptogenic stroke, that is, stroke of unknown origin and where paroxysmal, silent AF is suspected. A Mar...

How to help patients recover after a stroke
(National Research University Higher School of Economics) The existing approach to brain stimulation for rehabilitation after a stroke does not take into account the diversity of lesions and the individual characteristics of patients' brains. This was the conclusion made by researchers of the Higher School of Economics (HSE University) and the Max Planck Institute of Cognitive Sciences in their article, 'Predicting the Response to Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation in Stroke'.

The epidemiology of fracture in patients with acute ischemic stroke in Korea - Lee KB, Lee JG, Kim BJ, Kim JY, Lee KJ, Han MK, Park JM, Kang K, Cho YJ, Park HK, Hong KS, Park TH, Lee SJ, Oh MS, Yu KH, Lee BC, Cha JK, Kim DH, Kim JT, Lee J, Hong JH, Sohn SI, Kim DE, Choi JC, Yeo MJ, Kim WJ, Chae JE, Lee JS, Lee J, Bae HJ.
BACKGROUND: Patients who survive an acute phase of stroke are at risk of falls and fractures afterwards. However, it is largely unknown how frequent fractures occur in the Asian stroke population. METHODS: Patients with acute (

Frequency of hospital readmissions for venous thromboembolism and associated hospital costs and length of stay among acute medically ill patients in the US.
CONCLUSIONS: Among this study population of patients hospitalized for acute medical illnesses, some experienced a VTE event requiring re-hospitalization, with 25% occurring within the first 30 days after hospital discharge. PMID: 31084383 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

EQ-5D studies in nervous system diseases in eight Central and East European countries: a systematic literature review
ConclusionsEQ-5D research activity in neurology has been increasing through the years in studied CEE countries. There are clinical areas with the significant social burden, such as a migraine or meningitis, that are completely lacking data, other areas, such as stroke or epilepsy, with very scarce data.

Cost-effectiveness of percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale compared with medical management in patients with a cryptogenic stroke: from the US payer perspective.
CONCLUSION: Percutaneous PFO closure plus medical management represents a cost-effective approach for lowering the risk of recurrent stroke compared with medical management alone. PMID: 31025589 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Robot-Assisted Therapy in Upper Extremity Hemiparesis: Overview of an Evidence-Based Approach
Conclusion Robotic therapy has matured and represents an embodiment of a paradigm shift in neurorehabilitation following a stroke: instead of focusing on compensation, it affords focus in ameliorating the impaired limb in line with concepts of neuroplasticity. This technology-based treatment provides intensity, interactivity, flexibility, and adaptiveness to patient's performance and needs. Furthermore, it increases the productivity of rehabilitation care. Of course, efficiency must be discussed within a local perspective. For example, following the cost containment shown in the VA ROBOTICS study (46), the UK Nati...
