Filter by:The aim of the study is to investigate the quality of prehospital emergency care in acute stroke, when paramedics are supported telemedically by an EMS physician.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of intravenous tPA in patients waking up with symptoms of acute stroke and presenting to the ED within 4.5 hours from awakening, and meeting standard criteria for treatment with IV tPA for acute stroke. The hypothesis is that patients that wake up with stroke symptoms may have developed the stroke at the time of awakening, and may be within the 4.5 hour window if they arrive to the ED within that time, therefore IV tPA should be safe and effective in this population.
That the Jan Medical Nautilus NeuroWaveTM system provides significantly higher sensitivity to hyper acute ischemic stroke than does CT.
The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of major vascular events (ischemic or haemorrhagics) at the third month after initiation of the antithrombotic treatment (oral anticoagulation or dual antiplatelet therapy) in both arms followed TAVI.
Problems with attention are a common and debilitating consequence of brain injury. Studies show that poor attention is the number one predictor of poor cognitive functioning one year post-injury. This is due to the fact that attention is a necessary component of more complex cognitive functions such as learning & memory, multi-tasking and problem solving. In many cases, individuals may exhibit problems with spatial attention known as 'hemi-spatial neglect syndrome' or simply 'neglect'. Many studies now show that the processing machinery of the brain is plastic and remodeled throughout life by learning and experience, enabling the strengthening of cognitive skills or abilities. The investigators own research has shown that brief, daily computerized cognitive training that is sufficiently challenging, goal-directed and adaptive enables intact brain structures to restore balance in attention and compensate for disruptions in cognitive functioning.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of a new serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) nin functional recovery after ischemic stroke.
- This study attempts to elucidate whether stroke patients with dysphagia have reduced diaphragm movement during voluntary coughing, and also during deep inspiration and expiration than stroke patients without dysphagia. - This study will also compare various spirometric measurements with the diaphragmatic motions.
This is a pilot study of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to test tolerance and efficacy in children who have hemiparesis from acquired or presumed perinatal stroke.
To evaluate whether recanalization and stenting for symptomatic subacute and chronic veterbrobasilar artery occlusion is technically feasible, can prevent from recurrent ischemic events and promotes functional recovery of disability.
The study describes the autonomic control system function in subjects post stroke in comparison with healthy subjects. Aims: To describe the Autonomic hart rate control system function in post stroke subjects in different rehabilitation levels in comparison with healthy subjects. To examine the reflective reaction of the autonomic control system as reflected in the heart rate variability to stimulations subjects in different rehabilitation levels in comparison with healthy subjects. To examine the autonomic control system reaction as reflected in the heart rate variability to physical and cognitive action subjects in different rehabilitation levels in comparison with healthy subjects.
