Background: Telecare may provide an alternative to maintaining post-acute stroke care services in making benefit to both the providers and the stroke survivors, although study is needed to investigate its feasibility and effectiveness in integrating this innovative delivery mode into a routine.
Objectives: The objectives of this study are to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of telecare consultations in a nurse-led post-acute stroke clinic.
Methods: A pre- and post-test one group quasi-experimental design was adopted.
Venetoclax plus azacitidine represents a key advance for older, unfit patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The chemotherapy and venetoclax in elderly AML trial (CAVEAT) was first to combine venetoclax with intensive chemotherapy in newly diagnosed patients ≥65 years. In this final analysis, 85 patients (median age 71 years) were followed for a median of 41.

- - The study created and validated a risk model to predict high opioid use in patients with acute brain injuries (like stroke or TBI) in a neurocritical care setting.
- - Factors identified as significant predictors of high opioid use included patient age, history of anxiety or illicit drug use, admission diagnosis, and certain clinical conditions like mechanical ventilation and intracranial pressure monitoring.
- - The model showed strong reliability with good accuracy and precision, suggesting it could help clinicians tailor opioid prescriptions, though further validation in larger, multi-center studies is needed.
Objectives: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) can experience a substantial amount of pain. Effective pain management hinges on precise and prompt assessment. We designed a mobile-based application NeuroPAIN app to monitor pain among children with CP.
