Early psychological signs and symptoms of stroke are generally attributed to focal brain disease. These include aphasia (dominant hemisphere), memory loss (hippocampal involvement), and poststroke depression (left hemisphere more likely than right; anterior more likely than posterior). Changes in global...
As countries in the northern hemisphere face a bitterly cold snap, there is serious risk of injury—and even death—from freezing weather.
Occupational therapy developed a specific training program in order to improve the stroke-related handicaps (left hemiparesis) and helped the patient to cope with eyeryday life demands. From the beginning and by all therapists, the patient was carefully exposed to facts contradicting the existence ...
If any of the 3 tests point to a central etiology, the likelihood of a central etiology, such as a posterior circulation stroke, should merit strong consideration.[7][6]It is important to note that every test should be taken in the right clinical context and should not be used as the s...
Nuclear transporter exportin-1 inhibitor leptomycin B prevented donut-like nuclear staining when injected intracortically (LMB, 3 ng/µL) to the right hemisphere (b,d) in a poorly-perfused mouse. The contralateral homolog cortex of the same animal was injected with the vehicle (aCSF) and ...

The images were assessed twice, once without clinical information and again after disclosure of the side (left or right hemisphere) of the lesion. All reviewers were experienced clinicians with a special interest and training in vascular neurology and CT. The median time between stroke onset and ...
