Key Messages: The historical detail of the writing suspension and the crutch in this painting represent important hints of the stroke suffered by Bernardino da Fossa...

... atrial fibrillation (NVAF) are still undefined. Summary: We searched for randomized controlled trials and observational studies that compared nonrecommended versus recommended doses of DOACs, published up to December 2021. Primary study outcomes were ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack/systemic...

... whether early initiation of gait training using HAL improves functional outcomes in patients with stroke. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with acute stroke admitted to our facility. HAL was used for exoskeletal robotic gait training. Study participants were median split into an early group...

...Zhili Fan; Fei Li; Hanyao Chen; Le Zhang; Bing Ji Introduction: The management of posterior circulation stroke is primarily carried out by endovascular approaches including aspiration or stent retrevier thrombectomy. Existing reviews have attempted to comparatively evaluate their efficacy in terms...

... (CNN) model using whole axial brain T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images as input data can help predict motor outcomes of the upper and lower limbs at the chronic stage in stroke patients. Methods: We collected MR images taken at the early stage of stroke in 1,233 consecutive stroke patients. We...

...Ana Belén Gámez Santiago; Carlos Manuel Martínez Cáceres; Juan José Hernández-Morante Introduction: The present work was carried out to determine the effectiveness of neuromuscular stimulation triggered by mirror therapy (MT) in older patients with post-stroke hemiplegia by two different...

... recovery in stroke patients. Methods: We analyzed data from 833 consecutive stroke patients using 3 ML algorithms: deep neural network (DNN), random forest, and logistic regression. We created a practical ML model using the most common data measured in almost all rehabilitation hospitals as input data...

...Juan Manuel Marquez-Romero; Ángel Lee; Elizabeth Soto-Cabrera; Bernardo César Hernández-Curiel; Carlos Alberto Prado-Aguilar Background: Given the high contribution of stroke to the global burden of disease, there is a need for good-quality information on Web platforms such as Wikipedia. Aims...

...Wei Wang; Jin-Pin Li; Jing-Li Liu Introduction: We explored microRNA (miRNA) profiles correlated with the penumbra in three different phases of ischaemic stroke, using a permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (p-MCAO) rat model. Materials and Methods: A 2-mm coronal section was cut from...
