Potential analysis of research on speech therapy-led communication training in aphasia following stroke.
Authors: Kempf S, Lauer N, Corsten S, Voigt-Radloff S Abstract HEALTH PROBLEM: In Germany, about 100,000 people currently suffer from aphasia. This speech disorder occurs as a result of neurologic events such as stroke or traumatic brain injury. Aphasia causes major limitations in social participation and quality of life and can be associated with unemployability and social isolation. For affected persons, it is essential to regain and maintain autonomy in daily life, both at work and with family and friends.

Cost-effectiveness of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants for stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation: a systematic and qualitative review.
Authors: Liberato NL, Marchetti M Abstract The introduction of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) into clinical practice represented a major change in the treatment of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF); drugs as effective as the gold standard were available, rapidly functioning and without major interferences with drugs and foods. However, a huge increase in the economic burden of NVAF was predicted, and many cost-effectiveness analyses were developed to aid policy makers and clinicians in implementing strategies for the prevention of stroke in NVAF. The present systematic review identified ...

Examining student perceptions of an inter-institutional interprofessional stroke simulation activity.
Authors: Pinto C, Possanza A, Karpa K Abstract Integration of interprofessional educational (IPE) activities into health professions' curricula aims to promote collaborative practice with a goal of improving patient care. An interprofessional stroke simulation involving standardised patients was organised for IPE student learners from a number of different health professions programmes based across several different institutions. In this article, we describe the development of an inter-institutional IPE activity and examine the outcomes of this activity on student interprofessional growth. Using a pre-post-study de...
