Acute Phase Reactants as a Prognostic Factor in Acute Stroke
Introduction: Elevated levels of CRP are present among patients at risk for further first-ever myocardial infarction and stroke. It has been shown that after ischemic stroke, increased levels of CRP are associated with unfavorable outcomes. Methods: From 120 patients admitted to the emergency unit of our hospital with the diagnosis of stroke CRP, D-dimer and ferritin level was measured and the ...
متن کاملValidity of Modified Ashworth Scale as a Measure of Wrist Spasticity in Stroke Patients
Objectives: There are some controversies about the value of modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) for assessing spasticity. The goal of this study was to investigate if there is any correlation between scores obtained from MAS for wrist spasticity and electrophysiological recordings as the objective measure of spasticity. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 34 stroke patients were employed. Wris...
متن کاملIncontinence after stroke in a rehabilitation setting: outcome associations and predictive factors.
Urinary incontinence (UI) after stroke is common and associated with overall poor functional outcomes. There is controversy regarding which factors contribute to incontinence after stroke and which factors may be predictive of recovery of continence.

متن کاملNew-onset fecal incontinence after stroke: risk factor or consequence of poor outcomes after rehabilitation?
Risk Factor or Consequence of Poor Outcomes After Rehabilitation? To the Editor: We have read with interest the study written by Harari et al1 regarding the evolution of patients suffering from new-onset fecal incontinence after stroke. These authors observe the long-term fluctuating nature of such condition, the negative impact on mortality and institutionalization, as well as its narrow relat...
متن کاملValidity of shape as a predictive biomarker of final infarct volume in acute ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study examines whether lesion shape documented on magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging during acute stroke improves the prediction of the final infarct volume compared with lesion volume only. METHODS Diffusion-weighted imaging data and clinical information were retrospectively reviewed in 110 consecutive patients who underwent (n=67) or not (n=43) thrombo...
