Ad A review from UQ's School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences uncovered the benefit ofexerciseon a particular protein involved inbrainre-organisation and re-learning following a neurological disorder, such as after a stroke. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) proteins, found in the periph...
Until recently, physicians recommended post-acute therapy for stroke patients on the basis of intuition rather than evidence. Experiments in animals point most strongly toward the influence of neurotransmitter systems on functional recovery after focal brain injury. The effect is dose dependent, and the...
'Recovery from Stroke' refers to the process of regaining lost functions and abilities after a traumatic brain insult, such as a stroke, through various therapeutic strategies including biomaterial designs, drugs, and stem cell therapeutics to enhance endogenous brain repair and functional recovery. ...
Functional recovery after brain injury in laboratory animals is influenced by a variety of drugs. Yet, the impact of currently prescribed drugs on recovery after human stroke remains largely unexplored. Fro...
Aims and objectives: The aim of this paper is to explore the stroke literature, with particular emphasis on the management of psycho-social issues during and in the aftermath of stroke rehabilitation. Within the literature, there are a number of studies that indicate that the present ''medical ...
Stroke Stroke is a Brain Injury Stroke can happen to anyone at any time and its devastation can impact every aspect of life, from work to relationships to the ability to function in society. Stroke occurs when blood flow to an area of the brain is blocked. Without oxygen, brain cells ...
Old age is associated with an enhanced susceptibility to stroke and poor recovery from brain injury. Therefore, find therapeutic strategies aimed at improving functional recovery after brain ischemia in aged subjects is of considerable clinical interest. While environmental enrichment has been shown to im...
DoC are characterized by alterations in arousal and/or content processing and may result from global pathology or focal brain injuries that induce widespread functional changes [1,11]. Primary causes of these conditions include TBI, ICH, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), acute ischemic stroke, CA and...
