Nonpharmacological Treatments for Hospitalized Patients with Stroke: A Nuanced Approach to Prescribing Early Activity.

Stroke remains a leading cause of adult disability. To date, hyperacute revascularization procedures reach 5-10% of stroke patients even in high resource health systems. There is a limited time window for brain repair after stroke, and therefore, the activities such as prescribed exercise in the earliest period will likely have long-term significant consequences.

Virtual reality exposure aided-diagnosis system for anxiety disorders: Long short-term memory architecture for three levels of anxiety recognition.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased psychological pressure on mental health since 2019. The resulting anxiety and stress have permeated every aspect of life during confinement.

Objective: To provide psychologists with an unbiased measure that can aid in the preliminary diagnosis of anxiety disorders and be used as an initial treatment in cognitive-behavioral therapy, this article introduces automated recognition of three levels of anxiety.

Clinical Implementation of Noninvasive Brain Stimulation in an Outpatient Neurorehabilitation Program.

Motor, speech, and cognitive impairments are the most common consequences of neurological disorders. There has been an increasing interest in the use of noninvasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation to augment the effects of neurorehabilitation. Numerous research studies have shown that transcranial direct current stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation are highly promising neuromodulation tools that can work as adjuvants to standard neurorehabilitation services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology.
