Prognosis after Stroke Tatjana Rundek, Ralph L. Sacco, in Stroke (Sixth Edition), 2016 Depression after Stroke Major depression is a common occurrence after stroke.411–414 Pooled estimates from a meta-analysis suggest an incidence of post-stroke depression of 33%.413 This rate is relatively co...
The aim of this study is to develop and cross-validate predictive models for the functional prognosis of patients, highlighting the contributions of each predictor. Methods A dataset of 278 post-stroke patients was used for the prediction of the class transition, obtained from the modified ...
has a prognostic value in Korean population with the better prognosis forCOMTMet (–) (Val/Val alleles carriers). Substitution of Val to Met leads to the decreased enzyme activity ofCOMTand accumulation of synaptic dopamine [72]. Dopaminergic system interacts with the circadianPERgenes, normal rh...
What is the prognosis for post-stroke dizziness? With the right treatment approach, stroke survivors can see improvements in post-stroke dizziness. Vestibular therapy can play a large role in helping patients to regain independence and decrease symptoms of dizziness and imbalance with everyday activiti...
lacunar strokes have a higher rate of survival and a lower rate of recurrence, and are generally associated with a more favorable prognosis in the early stages after stroke; however, they are still associated with an increased risk for death in the long-term, primarily from cardiovascular events...
The approach to reperfusion therapies in stroke patients is rapidly evolving, but there is still no explanation why a substantial proportion of patients have a poor clinical prognosis despite successful flow restoration. This issue of futile recanalization is explained here by three clinical cases, whic...
