Abstract:

Regardless of the advances that have been made in stroke research and treatment and the overall decrease in stroke mortality, the stroke mortality rate for African Americans is still high at 45.2/100,000 and is still the leading cause of adult disability. Knowledge of the risk factors of stroke is paramount to reducing the morbidity and mortality of stroke, but knowledge of stroke risk factors has been found to be suboptimal in the African American population. The purpose of this study was to examine if there is a relationship between the knowledge, perception, and sources of stroke informatio

The test consisted of the subject swimming approximately fifteen meters freestyle (front crawl) at stroke rates of 24, 30, 40, 48, 60 strokes per minute. The subjects attempted three trials at each stroke rate, on a continuum from slow to fast. The following parameters were determi

Abstract:

Background - The natural history, predictors and outcomes of stroke recurrence after first-ever stroke have been insufficiently investigated. The available evidence shows great variation and does not provide a consensus of key predictors of stroke recurrence or a critical time-period for stroke recurrence occurring after initial stroke. This thesis uses data collected from the population-based South London Stroke Register to estimate the natural history of stroke recurrence after first-ever stroke. Methods - Data were collected over 12 years from all individuals known to have had an initial an

Syftet med litteraturstudien var att undersöka hur det dagliga livet upplevdes av personer som genomgått en stroke. Årligen insjuknar 25 000 personer i stroke och det är en av de vanligaste sjukdomarna som kräver rikligt med resurser av vården samt samhället. Stroke är även en vanlig orsak till funktionsnedsättning och död. Designen för arbetet är en litteraturstudie som grundades på kvalitativa artiklar. Databaser som användes var PubMed, CINAHL och PsycInfo. De funna artiklarna kvalitetsgranskades vilket slutligen resulterade i tio artiklar. En tematisk analys och sammanställning genomfördes

Abstract:

Little is understood about the process by which individuals maintain or lose a positive sense of wellbeing in the face of a chronic disabling condition such as stroke (Clarke, 2003). It appears that the impact of residual impairments and disabilities can pose significant problems for wellbeing in older adults, but the presence of such sequelae is not necessarily correlated with subjective wellbeing – some adapt well while others are devastated by minor sequelae (Clarke, 2003). Additionally, little is known about recovery in stroke survivors in relation to normal ageing processes (Green & King,

Abstract:

Lacunar strokes account for approximately a quarter of all ischaemic strokes and traditionally are thought to result from occlusion of a small deep perforating arteriole in the brain. Lacunar infarcts can be up to 2cm in diameter and are found in deep brain structures such as the thalamus and internal capsule. Despite their prevalence and specific accompanying clinical syndromes, the cause of lacunar stroke and its associated vascular pathology remain unclear. Many hypotheses as to the cause exist, which fall broadly into two categories; firstly, a direct occlusion via emboli or thrombus usual
