A new form of neurotherapy for a patient with anxiety disorder and anomic aphasia after neurosurgery for a ruptured brain aneurysm post-COVID-19.

Introduction And Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new, neuromarker-based form of neurotherapy for a patient with anxiety disorders and anomic aphasia after a neurosurgical operation for a ruptured brain aneurysm of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA), detected after COVID-19.

Case Report: A 78-year-old right-handed patient, not previously treated for any chronic diseases except stage II hypertension, contracted COVID-19, confirmed by real time RT- PCR. He was treated on an outpatient basis.

Health-related quality of life in ischaemic stroke survivors after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS): confounder-controlled analysis.

Introduction: Atherosclerotic carotid artery stenosis (CS)-related strokes are a significant overall stroke burden contributor.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of surgical (carotid endarterectomy - CEA) vs. percutaneous (neuroprotected carotid artery stenting - CAS) carotid revascularization on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in stroke survivors: analysis controlled for major HRQoL determinants beyond strokes.

Comorbidities and Health-Related Quality of Life Following Revascularization for Asymptomatic Critical Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis Treated with Carotid Endarterectomy or Angioplasty with Stenting.

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between existing comorbidities and the effectiveness of revascularization of asymptomatic critical internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis treated with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or carotid artery stenting (CAS) and short-term and long-term outcome in terms of health-related quality of life (HRQoL). MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with asymptomatic critical ICA stenosis (n=62) included a group treated with CEA (n=31) and a group treated with CAS (n=31). A Health Assessment Questionnaire designed for this study was used to assess ten comorbidities, and the Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36) was used to evaluate HRQoL following CEA and CAS.

Large prospective validation and cultural adaptation of the Polish version of the Swiss Spinal Stenosis Questionnaire for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.

Objective: The aim of this prospective cohort study was to translate, validate and perform a cultural adaptation of the Polish version of the Swiss Spinal Stenosis Questionnaire (P-SSSQ), a disease-specific questionnaire for assessing symptom severity, physical function and satisfaction with treatment in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).

Material And Methods: Patients were prospectively recruited at two orthopedic centres in Krakow, Poland, between January 2011 - October 2016. During the interview, each patient completed the P-SSSQ, SF-36 Health Survey, and a demographic data questionnaire.

Neuromarkers of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in a patient after bilateral hand amputation - ERP case study.

. There is a lack in the worldwide literature of reports on the Neuromarkers of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in patients after bilateral hand amputation The aim of this study was to test a hypothesis regarding developing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in a patient after bilateral hand amputation with the use of Event Related Potentials (ERPs). On the basis of previous research, the amplitudes of P3 ERP components elicited in the cued GO/NOGO tasks have been chosen as candidates for neuromarkers of PTSD.
