Wants Talk Psychotherapy but Cannot Talk: EMDR for Post-stroke Depression with Expressive Aphasia
CONCLUSION This is the first reported case demonstrating that EMDR can be effective for depression, even in those with severe expressive aphasia. In our case, there was no reluctance to disclose information, simply a neurological inability to do so. Through preparation, patience, perseverance, and plasticity (clinician flexibility, though perhaps also neuroplasticity), the patient’s PSD gradually improved, and she was able to reinvent her life within her limitations. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors gratefully acknowledge Eugene Schwartz, E.C. Hurley, and Mark Hubner for providing consultation during patient care. REFERENCES ...

Prolyl Carboxypeptidase Activity Decline Correlates with Severity and Short-Term Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Abstract Prolyl carboxypeptidase (PRCP) is an enzyme associated with cerebrovascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity and hyperlipidemia. We aim to evaluate the relation between serum PRCP activity and severity, evolution and outcome of acute ischemic stroke. We used a specific RP-HPLC activity assay to measure PRCP activity in serum of 50 stroke patients at admission, and at 24 h, 72 h and 7 days after stroke onset to assess correlations with stroke severity based on the National Institutes of Health Stroke scale score (NIHSS), infarct volume on brain MRI scan, stroke outcome based...

Human Brain Atlases in Stroke Management
AbstractStroke is a leading cause of death and a major cause of permanent disability. Its management is demanding because of variety of protocols, imaging modalities, pulse sequences, hemodynamic maps, criteria for treatment, and time constraints to promptly evaluate and treat. To cope with some of these issues, we propose novel, patented solutions in stroke management by employing multiple brain atlases for diagnosis, treatment, and prediction. Numerous and diverse CT and MRI scans are used: ARIC cohort, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke CT cases, MRI cases with multiple pulse sequences, and 128 stroke CT patients, each wit...

Extraction of corticospinal tract microstructural properties in chronic stroke
Conclusion Differences in this data set highlight the need to establish a common methodology for CST reconstruction and analysis which may eliminate discrepancies in interpreting DWI and enhance biomarker use post-stroke for motor function.

Assessment of healthcare personnel knowledge of stroke care at a large referral hospital in sub-Saharan Africa – A survey based approach
Publication date: August 2017 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, Volume 42 Author(s): Chen Lin, Ravi Vakani, Peter Kussin, Mary Guhwe, Alfredo E. Farjat, Kingshuk Choudhury, David Renner, Chrispine Oduor, Carmelo Graffagnino There is no published literature regarding sub-Saharan health-care providers’ understanding of stroke management patterns. Understanding current stroke management knowledge is important in formulating future education opportunities for providers to optimize patient outcomes. A cross-sectional survey of acute stroke diagnosis, hospital management, and secondary prevention questions was administ...

Stroke longitudinal volumetric measures correlate with the behavioral score in non-human primates
Publication date: Available online 24 November 2018Source: NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Gabriel Ramirez-Garcia, Kathleen A. Harrison, Juan Fernandez-Ruiz, Joseph Y. Nashed, Douglas J. CookAbstractStroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Brain imaging data from experimental rodent stroke models suggest that size and location of the ischemic lesion relate to behavioral outcome. However, such a relationship between these two variables has not been established in Non-Human Primate (NHP) models. Thus, we aimed to evaluate whether size, location, and severity of stroke following controlled Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusio...

Assessing Postvoid Residual to Identify Risk for Urinary Complications Post Stroke
CONCLUSION: Identifying the risk for urinary complications post stroke can lead to early interventions that can improve recovery. This also allows for specific patient education related to preventative measures to reduce risk of urinary complications. The use of a specific bladder scanning protocol is recommended as standard practice for all patients admitted with stroke.

Does epiaortic ultrasound screening reduce perioperative stroke in patients undergoing coronary surgery? A topical review
Publication date: Available online 3 February 2018 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience Author(s): Asad Ikram, Hafsa Mohiuddin, Aisha Zia, Hafiz Umair Siddiqui, Hoda Javadikasgari, Marijan Koprivanac, Sajjad Raza, Atif Zafar Although the occurrence of stroke in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is decreasing, it remains an important concern. Therefore, it is important to identify and adopt strategies that can decrease the incidence of stroke in these patients. One of the strategies that have demonstrated the potential to decrease the rate of post-CABG stroke is an assessment of aorta for athero...

An Emergent Large Vessel Occlusion Screening Protocol for Acute Stroke: A Quality Improvement Initiative
Background: Nurses play an integral role in triaging stroke patients. The purpose of this quality improvement initiative was to determine the efficacy of using an emergent large vessel occlusion (ELVO) screening protocol in the emergency department by nursing staff to improve identification of eligible patients as compared with current practice, improving time to endovascular treatment. Methods: Retrospective chart review was used to identify 76 patients admitted to a large urban stroke center. Of these, 36 presented during a 4-month period before the implementation of the Stroke Vision, Aphasia, Neglect (Stroke VAN) tool ...

An Automatic Method for Generating an Unbiased Intensity Normalizing Factor in Positron Emission Tomography Image Analysis After Stroke
AbstractPositron emission tomography (PET) imaging of functional metabolism has been widely used to investigate functional recovery and to evaluate therapeutic efficacy after stroke. The voxel intensity of a PET image is the most important indicator of cellular activity, but is affected by other factors such as the basal metabolic ratio of each subject. In order to locate dysfunctional regions accurately, intensity normalization by a scale factor is a prerequisite in the data analysis, for which the global mean value is most widely used. However, this is unsuitable for stroke studies. Alternatively, a specified scale facto...

The different clinical value of susceptibility vessel sign in acute ischemic stroke patients under different interventional therapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 1 February 2019Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Mingsu Liu, Lin Li, Guangqin LiAbstractAcute ischemic stroke (AIS) subtype, one of the most important factors for selecting therapeutic strategies, is difficult to be accurately diagnosed at admission sometimes. The magnetic susceptibility effect of deoxygenated hemoglobin in red thrombi appeared as hypointense signals in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. The prognostic value of susceptibility vessel sign (SVS) for stroke subtype, recanalization and outcomes in AIS patients will be comprehensively determined in the pr...
