Diagnostics, treatment and secondary prevention of ischemic stroke in the Silesian Province, Poland between 2009 and 2015
ConclusionsThere has been observed a significant improvement in the quality of diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke during recent years. However, further actions are required both in terms of reperfusion treatment (thrombolysis and/or thrombectomy) and secondary prevention of stroke.

Content Analysis of Stroke Teleconsultation Recordings in the Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic
Conclusion: Teleconsultations between paramedics and hospital-based neurologists are not time-consuming. Stroke onset time and severity of neurological deficit are consistently communicated, however other important information such as comorbidities, premorbid disability, and anticoagulation status are reported inconsistently.

Physio- and Occupationaltherapy Pathways of Stroke Patients and Stroke Mortality.
This study examines the relationship between adherence to clinical guidelines and survival time in the first year after stroke.The sample comprises all clients of the Deutsche BKK, a large German health insurance company, who received acute inpatient care for stroke in 2007, who survived the hospital stay by at least 14 days, and who had motor deficits at the end of their acute treatment (n=1 791). 3 types of treatment that differ in the degree of adherence to clinical guidelines are identified ("Frühreha-Plus">"Standard-Plus">"Nur Akut").There is a positive relationship between adherence to clinical guidelines an...

Task-Oriented Circuit Training for Mobility in Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation in Germany and Austria: A Contextual Transferability Analysis.
Abstract
People with stroke cite mobility deficits as one of the most burdensome limitations. National and international stroke guidelines recommend physical therapy based on task-oriented practice, with high numbers of repetitions to improve mobility. In the outpatient setting in Germany and Austria, these principles have not yet been established. The purpose of this study was to identify an evidence-based intervention that could help reduce this research-practice gap. A stepwise approach proposed by Voigt-Radloff et al and Cochrane Germany was used. First, the specific health service problem in the German and Au...

Secondary stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: a challenge in the clinical practice
Background:
Despite clear evidence for the effectiveness of oral anticoagulation (OA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), there is evidence for the underutilisation of this therapy in the secondary stroke prevention. We therefore investigate the link between the use of OA in stroke patients with AF and favourable clinical outcome following the acute event.
Methods:
The study population was determined by identifying the overlap of two different databases: a stroke registry and claims data of a health insurance company. Baseline data originated from the registry; documented dementia and the prescriptions for OA were d...

Health system makes cutting-edge telemedicine affordable
With the right kind of equipment, can a video conference between an ambulance and an on-call neurologist deliver the same stroke assessment results as at the bedside in the emergency room? The University of Virginia Health System, after over one year of research, is poised to find out.
Previously, AMA Wire® brought you the theory behind the University of Virginia (UVA) Health System’s research efforts to bring telemedicine to the ambulance so they can improve care for patients who are experiencing a stroke. We recently caught up with the UVA team to find out that their telestroke model iTreat is now in action.

How one ED uses telemedicine in the ambulance
When you think of telemedicine, what comes to mind? Often the answer is a split screen—physician and patient in separate locations on their computers or tablets. But one health system has shown the true breadth of telemedicine’s reach by using the technology to treat patients during the critical early moments of a stroke. Find out how.
The risk of damage and disability in patients who are experiencing a stroke increases with any delay in care delivery. Two emergency physicians at the University of Virginia (UVA) Health System understood the need for speed when it comes to caring for patients in the midst of acute str...

Can Oxygen Therapy Bring Dead Brain Cells Back To Life?
During my Palm Beach Anti-Aging Summit in October, I’m hosting some of the world’s leading authorities on oxygen therapy.
The Summit coincides with the grand opening of my 17,000-sq.-ft. Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, where I’m unveiling a specially-designed room that houses my first hyperbaric oxygen chamber.
I hope you’ll be there, as you’ll discover the newest applications and breakthroughs in this growing field. You see, when oxygen is pressurized — like it is when you’re inside the chamber — you can treat more than just chronic disease.
Truth is, hyperbaric oxygen can...

Abstract 198: Racial Disparity In Resuming Anticoagulation For Atrial Fibrillation After An Episode Of Major Gastrointestinal Bleeding Poster Session II
Conclusion: In conclusion, the racial disparity in resuming warfarin after an episode of major GIB in anticoagulated patients for atrial fibrillation was more for Caucasians than African American. This may be explained by uncertainty of outcomes that frequently leads to overtreatment of minority patients. Cultural beliefs for not resuming warfarin might have also played a role.

New Studies Give Mixed Results About Taking Fish Oil and Vitamin D
(CHICAGO) — Taking fish oil or vitamin D? Big studies give long-awaited answers on who does and does not benefit from these popular nutrients.
Fish oil taken by healthy people, at a dose found in many supplements, showed no clear ability to lower heart or cancer risks. Same for vitamin D.
But higher amounts of a purified, prescription fish oil slashed heart problems and heart-related deaths among people with high triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood, and other risks for heart disease. Doctors cheered the results and said they could suggest a new treatment option for hundreds of thousands of patients like these.

Mortality outcomes in hospitals with public, private not-for-profit and private for-profit ownership in Chile 2001-2010
Discussion: The question about which type of hospital ownership performs better in Chile remains open. Policy decisions regarding health service provision requires more evidence explaining differences by ownership. Better controls for health risk and hospital characteristics are suggested to address these differences in hospital performance.
