Redefining a minimal assessment protocol for stroke rehabilitation: the new "Protocollo di Minima per l'ICtus" - PMIC2020
CONCLUSIONS: The PMIC2020 provides an updated tool for the multidimensional rehabilitation assessment of the stroke patient, at any stage of the rehabilitation pathway; it aims to provide a shared minimum set of variables defining patient's needs and outcomes across different rehabilitation facilities and settings.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The PMIC2020 identifies patient's needs, outcomes, and predictors of response to specific interventions in Stroke rehabilitation and provide ground for a highly needed Stroke Registry.PMID:34042407 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.21.06638-7

Post Soft Care: Italian implementation of a post-stroke checklist software for primary care and identification of unmet needs in community-dwelling patients
AbstractThe needs of community-dwelling stroke patients are often not fully addressed. The Global Stroke Community Advisory Panel had developed the Post Stroke Checklist (PSC) with the aim of standardizing long-term stroke assessment and consequently care of patients. PSC has been validated for UK and Singapore, and an Italian version has been proposed. The aim of this study is to assess the needs of community-dwelling Italian stroke patients using an online version of PSC. Secondary aim is to assess utility of PSC for patients and clinicians. The PSC was administered to a sample of 64 patients with stroke in Italy by gene...

Orally Administered Crocin Protects Against Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Through the Metabolic Transformation of Crocetin by Gut Microbiota
Conclusion Collectively, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic association studies provide evidence that the gut microbiota plays a vital role in the fate of crocin and crocetin in the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, the cross-interaction between gut microbiota and crocin might mediate the activation of the cerebral-protective effect of orally administered crocin. Ethics Statement This study was carried out in accordance with the recommendations of ‘Institutional Animal Research Committee guidelines, Animal Ethics Committee of China Pharmaceutical University.’ The protocol was approved by the ‘An...

Transcultural translation and validation of Fugl-Meyer assessment to Italian.
Conclusions: The culturally validated Italian Fugl-Meyer Assessment can reliably be used in research and in clinical practice. A standardized use will improve the quality of sensorimotor assessment in stroke across Italy and allow reliable comparisons of stroke populations internationally.Implications for rehabilitationThe Fugl-Meyer Assessment is the gold standard for evaluation of sensorimotor impairment after stroke.Having access to a transculturally validated official Italian version of Fugl-Meyer Assessment will improve the quality of sensorimotor assessment after stroke among Italian health professionals and research...

Epidemiology and cerebrovascular events related to cervical and intracranial arteries dissection: the experience of the city of Pisa
This study aims to evaluate the incidence, clinical features, and outcome of cerebrovascular events related to sCAD and spontaneous intracranial arteries dissections (sIAD) in the city of Pisa (Italy). We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients admitted between December 1997 and June 2015 with a diagnosis of stroke, TIA, or Bernard-Horner syndrome due to acute cervical or intracranial artery dissection. Considering that our hospital collects presumptively all patients hospitalized with sCAD coming from the referral geographical area, data may provide a good approximation to real incidence of sCAD in our population. C...

Intra- and inter-rater reliability of the Italian Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper and lower extremity
CONCLUSIONS: The Italian version of the FMA showed to be a reliable instrument that can therefore be recommended for clinical and research purposes.Implications for rehabilitationThe FMA is the gold standard for assessing stroke patients' sensorimotor impairment worldwide.The Italian Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) and Lower Extremity (FMA-LE) is substantially reliable within and between two raters at the item, subtotal, and total score level in patients with sub-acute stroke.The use of FMA in the Italian context will provide an opportunity for international comparisons and research collaborations.PMID:36...
