Swallowing Dysfunction after Acute Stroke: The Incidence, Predictors and Outcome
CONCLUSION: Swallowing dysfunction should be checked in all cases of strokes, including unilateral hemispheric strokes and in fully conscious patients. Swallowing improves with time, but the patient may require feeding assistance in an acute setting. Dysphagia is more common in strokes with higher NIHSS, involving more brain parenchyma and posterior circulation strokes.PMID:37651239 | DOI:10.59556/japi.71.0301

Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation - Which is the BEST?: Balanced in Efficacy and Safety as a Thromboprophylactic.
Authors: Suvarna V Abstract Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) has reached an exciting phase with a plethora of newer, potentially more efficacious and safer agents being introduced for physicians to select from. Dabigatran belongs to a class of anticoagulants called direct thrombin inhibitors, while rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban are direct Factor Xa inhibitors. Purely from a therapeutic endpoint perspective-based on the action of anticoagulants in reducing cardioembolic stroke-in clinical trials, one should look at whether a new anticoagulant in patients with AF prevents ischemic stroke. From a ne...

Communication, the key in creating dignified encounters in unexpected sudden death & #8211; With stroke as example
Conclusion: Communication shown as the foundation for dignified encounters in care as experienced by stroke team members and next of kin enables the patient to come forth as a unique person and uphold absolute dignity in care. Acknowledging the next of kin's familiarity with the severely ill patient will contribute to personalizing the patient and in this way be the ground for a person centeredness in care despite the patients' inability to defend their own interests. Through knowledge about the patient as a person, the foundation for dignified care is given, expressed through respect for the patient&...

Imprecise eponyms in stroke medicine & #8211; A growing need for uniform terminologies/definitions across the globe
Conclusions: The most imprecise term that continues to be used is “CVA”. The precisely defined entity like “cerebrovascular disease,” which is a group of diseases, continues to be used inappropriately. All the terms are not defined uniformly across the globe, whereas most continue to use the World Health Organisation definition of stroke, defined in the 1970s. It is essential to condemn the use of imprecise terminologies and promote the use of recently defined precise terms “stroke” and “transient ischemic attack (TIA)”....
