Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) assess clinical outcomes from the perspective of patient. The stroke community recommended fifteen questions for use in survivors, based on established PROMIS10 with five additional stroke-specific questions. This study aimed to determine its association National Institute Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) admission. PROM responses were taken an existing rand...

herpes simplex virus (hsv) causes a wide range of pathologies in the human central nervous system (cns) such as stroke. it was proposed that there is an association between hsv infection and stroke with different results reported by the researchers using different methods. this study aimed to investigate the frequency of hsv among stroke patient and control groups. we detected hsv in 28 stroke ...

Objectives: Stroke is a neurological syndrome with sudden onset or gradual destruction of brain vessels, which may take 24 hours or more. Complications of stroke effect in the variation aspects of the individual. According to De Spulveda and Chang’s Studies, disability reduced the effective adjustment. This study aimed to overview the adjustment of stroke patients based on the main concep...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: experimental studies provide evidence of a relationship between stroke and mineral intake but this information in human are still limited and inconsistent. the purpose of this study was to investigate sodium, calcium and iron intake and stroke in iranian patient and control population. materials and methods: in a case-control study with ...

background: as yet migraine has been established as one of the risk factors for ischemic stroke. some of the factors have been assessed for the explanation of this relation. hyperhomocysteinemia is seen partly both in stroke and in migraine. this study was conducted to determine the mean plasma levels of homocysteine in ischemic stroke patients on the basis of migraine history.methods: this cro...

This Special Interest article describes a multidisciplinary, interinstitutional effort to build an organized system of stroke rehabilitation and outcomes measurement across the continuum of care. This system is focused on a cohort of patients who are admitted with the diagnosis of stroke to our acute facility, are discharged to inpatient and/or outpatient rehabilitation at our free-standing fac...

Here we present the case of a patient with right upper extremity and lower weakness three-day duration, which triggered stroke evaluation. Ultimately, diagnosis spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) was made. Non-stroke diagnoses that stroke-like symptoms are referred to in medical literature as mimics. Such cases neurological deficits imitate acute ischemic stroke. The frequency such presentations...

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability today; therefore, many research efforts are focused on designing maximally effective and efficient treatment methods. In particular, robotic stroke rehabilitation has received significant attention for upper-limb therapy due to its ability to provide high-intensity repetitive movement therapy with less effort than would be required for...
