14 had a second stroke, 15 were no longer living in the community and 25 were lost to follow-up.On average the elderly stroke survivors were functionally independent (Mean FIM= 109± 22) despite persistent stroke related impairments as measured by the Stroke-Adapted SIP (Mean 10.9 ± 7.4)....
Plasma cytokine concentrations were measured from a separate cohort of control animals and animals 1 day after receiving the same CLP. Blood was centrifuged at 1500×gfor 10 min at 23 °C, then plasma was stored in a − 80 °C freezer. Concentrations of granulocyte-/macrophage-/granulocyte...
The process addresses the physical, cognitive and emotional challenges that arise from a stroke. Rehabilitation can occur from the acute phase immediately after a stroke and continue for months or even years [7]. Physical, occupational, cognitive and language therapies are commonly used in stroke ...
encapsulated sonic hedgehog (Shh) into biodegradable PLGA microspheres and investigated whether delivery of Shh by these microspheres at the site of lesion will help in functional recovery from SCI. Shh, multifunctional growth factor, has important role in inducing oligodendrocyte and neuron production ...
recovery from stroke or other cortical injury [59,60]. To address this, we developed a Non-Human Primate Grasp Assessment Scale (GRAS) to detect and quantify impairments in fine motor function of the hand and evaluate recovery of function of individual digits and precise finger-thumb pinch ...
Following stroke, long-term recovery patterns in multifaceted functional domains differ by patient age, stroke severity, and stroke type, according to a study published online Sept. 23 in JAMA Network Open.
Gains were also greater for training that lasted 30–45 min (versus longer or shorter) and older subjects (versus ones that were age 55–65) [19,20,21,22,23,24,25]. Physical activity also improves cognition in well older adults, and those with mild cognitive impairment, AD, stroke, ...
Stroke stands as a predominant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, and there is a pressing need for effective therapies to improve outcomes and enhance the quality of life for stroke survivors. In this line, effective efferocytosis, the clearance
Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a critical clinical tool for diagnosing focal ischemic stroke severity, staging treatment, and predicting outcome. Imaging during the acute phase focuses on tissue viability in the stroke vicinity, while imaging during recovery requires the evalua...
Context. A multiwave longitudinal neuroimaging study in a cohort of direct survivors of a South Korean subway disaster, most of whom recovered from
