Semmaphorin 3 A causes immune suppression by inducing cytoskeletal paralysis in tumour-specific CD8 T cells.

Semaphorin-3A (SEMA3A) functions as a chemorepulsive signal during development and can affect T cells by altering their filamentous actin (F-actin) cytoskeleton. The exact extent of these effects on tumour-specific T cells are not completely understood. Here we demonstrate that Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) and Plexin-A1 and Plexin-A4 are upregulated on stimulated CD8 T cells, allowing tumour-derived SEMA3A to inhibit T cell migration and assembly of the immunological synapse.

Individual patient data meta-analysis of the effects of fluoxetine on functional outcomes after acute stroke.

Background: Three large randomized controlled trials of fluoxetine for stroke recovery have been performed. We performed an individual patient data meta-analysis (IPDM) on the combined data.

Methods: Fixed effects meta-analyses were performed on the combined data set, for the primary outcome (modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 6 months), and secondary outcomes common to the individual trials.

Shared decision making in older people after severe stroke.

Stroke is a major cause of death and lifelong disability. Although stroke treatments have improved, many patients are left with life-changing deficits. Shared decision making and consent are fundamental to good medical practice.

Validation of general pain scores from multidomain assessment tools in stroke.

Purpose: We describe how well general pain reported in multidomain assessment tools correlated with pain-specific assessment tools; associations between general pain, activities of daily living and independence after stroke.

Materials And Methods: Analyses of individual participant data (IPD) from the Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive (VISTA) described correlation coefficients examining (i) direct comparisons of assessments from pain-specific and multidomain assessment tools that included pain, (ii) indirect comparisons of pain assessments with the Barthel Index (BI) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS), and (iii) whether pain identification could be enhanced by accounting for reported usual activities, self-care, mobility and anxiety/depression; factors associated with pain.

Non-pharmacological interventions for the treatment of post-stroke fatigue: A systematic review.

Background: Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) affects 50% of stroke survivors. Current guidance on management of this condition is limited.

Aims: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to identify and analyze all randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of non-pharmacological interventions for the treatment of PSF.

Circadian Hygiene in the ICU Environment (CHIE) study.

To investigate the environment and care in the intensive care unit (ICU) and its relationship to patient circadian temperature disruption. 30-day, prospective period prevalence study. 27-bed tertiary ICU.

A roadmap for research in post-stroke fatigue: Consensus-based core recommendations from the third Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable.

Rationale: Fatigue affects almost half of all people living with stroke. Stroke survivors rank understanding fatigue and how to reduce it as one of the highest research priorities.

Methods: We convened an interdisciplinary, international group of clinical and pre-clinical researchers and lived experience experts.

Intervention to reduce sedentary behaviour and improve outcomes after stroke (Get Set Go): a study protocol for the process evaluation of a pilot cluster randomised controlled trial (RECREATE).

Introduction: Stroke survivors spend long periods of time engaging in sedentary behaviour (SB) even when their functional recovery is good. In the RECREATE programme, an intervention aimed at reducing SB ('Get Set Go') will be implemented and evaluated in a pragmatic external pilot cluster randomised controlled trial with embedded process and economic evaluations. We report the protocol for the process evaluation which will address the following objectives: (1) describe and clarify causal assumptions about the intervention, and its mechanisms of impact; (2) assess implementation fidelity; (3) explore views, perceptions and acceptability of the intervention to staff, stroke survivors and their carers; (4) establish the contextual factors that influence implementation, intervention mechanisms and outcomes.

Systematic review: Pharmacological interventions for the treatment of post-stroke fatigue.

Background: Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) affects around 50% of stroke survivors. Previous systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials found insufficient evidence to guide practice, but most excluded Chinese studies. Furthermore, their searches are now out-of-date.

RECREATE: a study protocol for a multicentre pilot cluster randomised controlled trial (cRCT) in UK stroke services evaluating an intervention to reduce sedentary behaviour in stroke survivors (Get Set Go) with embedded process and economic evaluations.

Introduction: Sedentary behaviour (sitting or lying during waking hours without being otherwise active) is strongly associated with adverse health outcomes, including all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular mortality in adults. Stroke survivors are consistently reported as being more sedentary than healthy age-matched controls, spending more hours sedentary daily and sustaining longer unbroken bouts of sedentary time. An evidence-based and clinically feasible intervention ('Get Set Go') was developed.

Neuroimaging correlates of post-stroke fatigue: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Fatigue is a common and disabling symptom following stroke, but its underlying mechanisms are unknown. Associations with a number of imaging features have been proposed.

Aims: We aimed to assess whether neuroimaging parameters could better inform our understanding of possible causes of post-stroke fatigue (PSF) through systematic review and meta-analysis.

Open-path dual-comb spectroscopy of methane and VOC emissions from an unconventional oil well development in Northern Colorado.

We present results from a field study monitoring methane and volatile organic compound emissions near an unconventional oil well development in Northern Colorado from September 2019 to May 2020 using a mid-infrared dual-comb spectrometer. This instrument allowed quantification of methane, ethane, and propane in a single measurement with high time resolution and integrated path sampling. Using ethane and propane as tracer gases for methane from oil and gas activity, we observed emissions during the drilling, hydraulic fracturing, millout, and flowback phases of well development.

Validation of open-path dual-comb spectroscopy against an O background.

Dual-comb spectroscopy measures greenhouse gas concentrations over kilometers of open air with high precision. However, the accuracy of these outdoor spectra is challenging to disentangle from the absorption model and the fluctuating, heterogenous concentrations over these paths. Relative to greenhouse gases, O concentrations are well-known and evenly mixed throughout the atmosphere.

A systematic review and synthesis of global stroke guidelines on behalf of the World Stroke Organization.

Background: There are multiple stroke guidelines globally. To synthesize these and summarize what existing stroke guidelines recommend about the management of people with stroke, the World Stroke Organization (WSO) Guideline committee, under the auspices of the WSO, reviewed available guidelines.

Aims: To systematically review the literature to identify stroke guidelines (excluding primary stroke prevention and subarachnoid hemorrhage) since 1 January 2011, evaluate quality (The international Appraisal of Guidelines, Research and Evaluation (AGREE II)), tabulate strong recommendations, and judge applicability according to stroke care available (minimal, essential, advanced).

Association of post-stroke fatigue with physical activity and physical fitness: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: It has been hypothesized that post-stroke fatigue (PSF) is associated with reduced physical activity (PA) and impaired physical fitness (fitness). Understanding associations between PSF and PA, and/or fitness could help guide the development of targeted exercise interventions to treat PSF.

Aims: Our systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate PSF's associations with PA and fitness.

Mapping LiNbO_{3} Phonon-Polariton Nonlinearities with 2D THz-THz-Raman Spectroscopy.

Two-dimensional terahertz-terahertz-Raman spectroscopy can provide insight into the anharmonicities of low-energy phonon modes-knowledge of which can help develop strategies for coherent control of material properties. Measurements on LiNbO_{3} reveal THz and Raman nonlinear transitions between the E(TO_{1}) and E(TO_{3}) phonon polaritons. Distinct coherence pathways are observed with different THz polarizations.

Repeated Measures of Modified Rankin Scale Scores to Assess Functional Recovery From Stroke: AFFINITY Study Findings.

Background Function after acute stroke using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is usually assessed at a point in time. The analytical implications of serial mRS measurements to evaluate functional recovery over time is not completely understood. We compare repeated-measures and single-measure analyses of the mRS from a randomized clinical trial.
