Affective prosody, or the changes in rate, rhythm, pitch, and loudness that convey emotion, has long been implicated as a function of the right hemisphere (RH), yet there is a dearth of literature identifying the specific neural...
Post-stroke dysphagia is a common and expensive complication of acute stroke. The relationship between dysphagia and skeletal muscle loss (sarcopenia) has been recently highlighted. This study aimed to determine the relationship...
The implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is often the only therapy in terminal heart failure (HF). However, despite technical advancements, the physical fitness of the patients is still limited. One strategy...
To examine how the choice of neighborhood food environment definition impacts the association with diet.Using food frequency questionnaire data from the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke study at baseline...
Pre-stroke dependency (PSD) is associated with poor outcome after stroke. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in pre-stroke dependent patients compared to...
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the standard of care for the treatment of proximal anterior circulation large vessel occlusions. However, little is known about its efficacy and safety in the treatment of distal intracranial...
Many studies showed that platelet reactivity testing can predict ischemic events after carotid stenting or ischemic stroke. The aim of our study was to assess the role of early platelet function monitoring in predicting 90-days...
This study aims to test the validity of a new quantitative scoring instrument-the Venous Occlusion Image Score (VOIS), and assess the diagnostic and prognostic value of VOIS for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST).The VOIS...
Our primary objective was to compare early-start vs. late-start Botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections in post-stroke spasticity management. This is an IRB approved retrospective chart review of patients who were admitted for...
Clopidogrel is commonly used for secondary stroke prevention in patients with large vessel stenosis. Reduced Clopidogrel high on treatment platelet reactivity (CR) can lead to Clopidogrel underactivity (CU) causing acute...
Endovascular treatment of large vessel occlusion in acute ischemic stroke patients is difficult to establish in remote areas, and time dependency of treatment effect increases the urge to develop health care concepts for this...
Cardiovascular involvement in SARS-CoV-2 infection has emerged as one of viral major clinical features during actual pandemic; limb arterial ischemic events, venous thrombosis, acute myocardial infection and stroke have occurred...
