Characteristics of subacute stroke patients who achieve earlier independence in real-life walking performance during hospitalization.
J Rehabil Med
January 2025
Faculty of Rehabilitation, School of Health Sciences, Fujita Health University, Toyoake-shi, Aichi, Japan; Graduate School of Health Sciences, Fujita Health University, Aichi, Japan.
Objective: To identify factors associated with earlier independence in "real-life walking" during hospitalization in subacute stroke patients.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Subjects/patients: Two hundred and six hemiplegic patients.
Discordance Between Spine-Hip and Paretic-Nonparetic Hip Bone Mineral Density in Hemiplegic Stroke Patients: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Objective: To identify the prevalence and factors associated with T-score discordance between the spine and hip, as well as between the paretic and non-paretic hips in hemiplegic stroke patients, this study investigated bone mineral density (BMD) patterns. Bone loss predominantly affects the paretic hip after a stroke, and typical clinical assessments using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) that scan the lumbar spine (LS) and a single hip may overlook an osteoporosis diagnosis. This oversight could potentially lead to suboptimal treatment for stroke patients.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) presents complex clinical challenges, particularly in patients receiving anticoagulation therapy. This case report discusses the management of acute ICH in a 60-year-old male patient on long-term apixaban therapy, who arrived at the emergency department with altered consciousness, right-sided hemiplegia, and mixed aphasia. Computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed a 70 ml left lenticular-capsular hematoma with significant mass effect, necessitating rapid intervention.

Electronic address:
Purpose: To develop a questionnaire to measure nurses' perceived knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to motor function rehabilitation in stroke patients with hemiplegia (MFRSPH-PKAP-Q), and to evaluate its reliability and validity.
Methods: This study was conducted in four phases: (1) creating a pool of potential items; (2) developing the preliminary scale using a Delphi survey; (3) conducting item reduction to refine the scale; and (4) testing the validity and reliability of the final scale.
Results: The questionnaire comprises 45 items.
Epileptiform discharges in the context of self-limited pediatric focal epilepsy (EDSelFEC) in pediatric hemispherotomy patients: Role of white matter abnormalities.
Epileptic Disord
December 2024
Center for Pediatric Neurology and Neurorehabilitation, Epilepsy Center for Children and Adolescents, Schoen Clinic Vogtareuth, Vogtareuth, Germany.
Objective: To investigate the frequency of epileptiform discharges associated with self-limited focal epilepsy (EDSelFEC) in children who have undergone a hemispherotomy and to evaluate whether patients with coexistence of EDSelFEC and structural hemispheric epilepsies differ from patients without coexistence of EDSelFEC and whether there are differences between the two groups with regard to preoperative management and postoperative outcome.
Methods: Data on 131 children who underwent a hemispherotomy between January 1999 and January 2015 were retrieved from the Epilepsy center's epilepsy surgery database. Children with EDSelFEC were compared with children without EDSelFEC with respect to epileptogenic hemispheric pathology, family history, age at epilepsy onset, timing of surgery, lesion laterality, preoperative cognitive function, response to sodium channel blocker antiepileptic medication, and surgical outcome.
