Ischemic stroke of unclear aetiology: a case-by-case analysis and call for a multi-professional predictive, preventive and personalised approach
AbstractDue to the reactive medical approach applied to disease management, stroke has reached an epidemic scale worldwide. In 2019, the global stroke prevalence was 101.5 million people, wherefrom 77.2 million (about 76%) suffered from ischemic stroke; 20.7 and 8.4 million suffered from intracerebral and subarachnoid haemorrhage, respectively. Globally in the year 2019 — 3.3, 2.9 and 0.4 million individuals died of ischemic stroke, intracerebral and subarachnoid haemorrhage, respectively. During the last three decades, the absolute number of cases increased substantially. The current prevalence of stroke is 110 million ...

Provision of safe and specialized stroke care using an inter-professional learning approach: A novel stroke service improvement
Introduction: The King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) in Riyadh has reconfigured stroke services by creating a novel stroke model whereby all suspected stroke patients are admitted directly to the high dependency stroke unit (HSDU) in order to provide specialized multidisciplinary care to all stroke patients. Before the launch of this new stroke model, training for all nurses is imperative to ensure they will deliver safe and specialized care.

Machine Learning For Identifying Potentially Undiagnosed Post-Stroke Spasticity Patients In United Kingdom
Spasticity is one of the well-recognized complications of stroke which may give rise to pain and limit patients’ ability to perform daily activities. The predisposing factors and direct effects of post-stroke spasticity (PSS) also involve high management costs in terms of healthcare resources and case-control designs are required for establishing such differences. In ‘The Health Improvement Network’ (THIN) database, such a study was difficult to provide reliable estimates since the prevalence of post-stroke spasticity was found to be substantially below the most conservative previously reported estimates.

Experiences of living with persisting post-stroke dysphagia and of dysphagia management - a qualitative study.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings indicated that people with dysphagia experienced a lack of support from health care professionals. Better health care support following discharge from hospital is required to ensure an optimal quality of life. Actions to achieve this may include developing national guidelines for adequate dysphagia follow-up and establishing multidisciplinary dysphagia teams in hospitals and long-term care facilities.

MSR124 Development of a Machine Learning Predictive Model for Stroke Among Patients With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation Receiving Oral Anticoagulant Treatment
Objective was to develop a Machine Learning (ML) predictive model for stroke among patients with NVAF receiving Oral Anticoagulants (OAC) that allows to predict the individual patient level risk of stroke given patient features and select the best OAC for a NVAF patients.

New data-driven machine learning method effectively flags risk for post-stroke dangers
(University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine) A team of experts in neurocritical care, engineering, and informatics, with the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, have devised a new way to detect which stroke patients may be at risk of a serious adverse event following a ruptured brain aneurysm. This new, data-driven machine learning model, involves an algorithm for computers to combine results from various noninvasive tests to predict a secondary event.

Targeting 'hidden pocket' for treatment of stroke and seizure
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) By closely examining a special neuron receptor that is involved in memory, learning, and much more, researchers have identified a hidden molecular 'pocket.' By creating chemical compounds that affect this pocket only in very specific circumstances, they are one step closer to creating ideal treatments for stroke and seizures.

Rapid triage for ischemic stroke: a machine learning-driven approach in the context of predictive, preventive and personalised medicine
ConclusionIn the context of PPPM/3PM, we used the selected predictors obtained from the results of common blood tests to develop and validate ML-based models for the diagnosis of IS. The XGBoost-based model offers the most accurate prediction. By incorporating the individualised patient profile, this prediction tool is simple and quick to administer. This is promising to support subjective decision making in resource-limited settings or primary care, thereby shortening the time window for the treatment, and improving outcomes after IS.

'We should assess the students in more authentic situations: Swedish PE teacher educators views of the meaning of movement skills for future PE teachers
The question of what knowledge a student of Physical Education (PE) needs to develop during PE teacher education (PETE) was recently discussed. One form of knowledge is the movement practices that students must meet during their education. Given the limited time, a delicate matter is whether to prioritize movement knowledge and consider it as subject matter knowledge (e.g. performance of the freestyle stroke) or as pedagogical content knowledge (e.g. teaching how to perform the freestyle stroke). The aim is to investigate Swedish PE teacher educators’ views on the meaning of movement skills for future PE teachers and...

NIH launches collaborative effort to find biomarkers for Parkinson's
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) The National Institutes of Health has launched a new initiative to help researchers investigate biomarkers for Parkinson's disease, and to help patients learn about and participate in such studies. So far, the NINDS Parkinson's Disease Biomarkers Program has funded nine research teams taking a variety of unique approaches to discover new biomarkers. To support collaboration across these projects and others, the PDBP is introducing a new online platform for investigators to share their data.
