Comparative study of actuation systems for portable upper limb exoskeletons
Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the UK. At present, there are over 1.2 million stroke survivors in the UK [1]. According to the Stroke Association, the way of recovery of stroke patients depends on the process of rehabilitation which includes all orthopedic lessons at different phases after stroke [2]. Existing manual therapy has several drawbacks such as the cost of therapy, physical issues from physiotherapy and lack of sufficient number of physiotherapists. Long-term involvement of rehabilitation therapists imposes a huge cost burden.

Results of carotid artery stenting. Lessons learned in a belgian 'real world' practice
CONCLUSION: Real world data from a low volume center show that CAS performed in patients with high risk for CEA yields acceptable outcome that is comparable to the literature. Since CAS is a delicate procedure we advice to centralize the procedure to an dedicated experienced interventionalist and to perform rigorous quality control of your 'real world' data.PMID:33820485

A lesson on induction of hypothermia and measurement of efficacy
Brain injuries caused by stroke are common and costly in human and resource terms. The result of stroke is a cascade of molecular and physiological derangement, cell death, damage and inflammation in the brain. This, together with infection, if present, commonly results in patients having an increased temperature, which is associated with worse outcome. The usual clinical goal in stroke is therefore to reduce temperature to normal, or below normal (hypothermia) to reduce swelling if brain pressure is increased. However, research evidence does not yet conclusively show whether or not cooling patients after stroke improves t...

Eulogy For My Father
I thought I would get used to it. Maybe feel some callousness to it. Walking into the building and being directed to the viewing hall. Walking to the front of the room and seeing a loved one lying in a casket. I have seen a cousin, grandparents, uncles and friends within the last five years or so pass away. These past few months I have had to come to grips that I will again face death. My dad is dying! Twenty-four years ago my father suffered a near fatal stroke. The years following have been dealt with his heath declining and new issues he's faced including COPD and congestive heart failure. He has had a portable defibr...

The Biggest Medical Stories You May Have Missed In 2015
SPECIAL FROM Next Avenue By Craig Bowron As we head into the New Year, let’s take a look back and see what lessons we should have learned from medical science in 2015. The New England Journal of Medicine’s publication Journal Watch provides physicians and other health care providers with expert analysis of the most recent medical research. Below is a brief synopsis of what the Journal Watch editors felt were the most important stories in general medicine for the year 2015. While you likely heard about a couple, others probably escaped your radar. Getting Aggressive with Strokes We’re familiar with the id...

Usefulness of multiphase computed tomography angiography in a patient with transient ischemic attack in the hyperacute phase: A case report
We present a case of TIA, the cause of which was identified using multiphase computed tomography angiography (MCTA) in the hyperacute phase of the disease.Patient Concerns:The patient was a 57-year-old man who was admitted to the emergency department for right-side weakness persisting for 1 hour.Diagnoses:Occlusion of the proximal M3 segment of the left middle cerebral artery territory was found on the initial MCTA.Outcomes:The weakness completely resolved at 2 hours after symptom onset, and there was no acute infarction on the initial diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the same day. Follow-up MCTA ...

Lessons Learned Establishing a 24/7 Rapid Access TIA Service
In 2007, the UK Department of Health (DOH) published its National Stroke Strategy, which detailed 20 quality markers for delivering a high quality stroke service, one of which was that patients suffering a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke should be investigated and treated more quickly after symptom onset.1 Interestingly, the National Stroke Strategy also advised that carotid endarterectomy (CEA) should be performed within 48  h of symptom onset, although no evidence was provided to support this threshold.

Bilateral pontine infarction with basilar artery fenestration: A case report
Rationale: Basilar artery (BA) fenestration is a congenital anomaly with duplicated BA, which can cause ischemic stroke. However, the stroke mechanism is not clearly verified in patients with BA fenestration. Patient concerns: Here, we report a case of 64-year-old man with well-controlled hypertension admitted with dysarthria, only. Diagnoses: Diffusion weighted image showed a bilateral symmetric pontine infarction sparing the midline. BA fenestration was observed from magnetic resonance angiography. Intervention: High-resolution magnetic resonance image (MRI) and 4D flow MRI was performed to verify the mechanis...

Perfusion image guided mechanical thrombectomy combined with tirofiban successfully revascularize systemic lupus erythematosus related acute large vessel occlusion: A case report
Rationale: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an important cause of stroke, more than a half the cases present as acute ischemic stroke. Thrombolysis is an effective choice in most cases, but for large vessel occlusion, mechanical thrombectomy is more effective. Here we reported a case of SLE-related stroke with left middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion, who was successfully treated by MT and tirofiban. Patient concern: A 38-year-old female suffered from right hemiplegia and aphasia for 8 hours. She was diagnosed with SLE 20 years ago, and neuropsychiatric SLE was considered 8 months before this onset...
