Many patients will experience some type of visual dysfunction following a stroke. The visual changes associated with stroke can be categorized as sensory (visual acuity and visual field), motor (extraocular muscle motility), and perceptual. These disturbances affect the patient's quality of life and can impede overall rehabilitation. Many of these impairments can be addressed by simple yet effective techniques. As a result, vision rehabilitation specialists are becoming an important part of the multidisciplinary stroke rehabilitation team.

Reliability of Central Vein Sign Imaging With 3T FLAIR* in a Multicenter Study.
J Neuroimaging
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Background And Purpose: The central vein sign (CVS) is a diagnostic imaging biomarker for multiple sclerosis (MS). FLAIR* is a combined MRI contrast that provides high conspicuity for CVS at 3 Tesla (3T), enabling its sensitive and accurate detection in clinical settings. This study evaluated whether CVS conspicuity of 3T FLAIR* is reliable across imaging sites and MRI vendors and whether gadolinium (Gd) contrast increases CVS conspicuity.

Objective: Recent studies suggested that the medical control of atherogenic lipoproteins is not sufficient for stroke prevention. A low apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) level may play a crucial role in the anti-atherogenic effects of high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and may also be associated with symptomatic vulnerable plaques in carotid artery stenosis. Therefore, the present study investigated the relationship between apoA-I levels and the status of carotid artery stenosis.

Department of Neurology, University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich, Munich, Germany.
Purpose Of The Report: Adults with Down Syndrome (DS) have a substantially increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to the triplicated amyloid-precursor-protein gene on chromosome 21, resulting in amyloid and tau accumulation. However, tau PET assessments are not sufficiently implemented in DS-AD research or clinical work-up, and second-generation tau tracers such as [F]PI-2620 have not been thoroughly characterized in adults with DS. We aim at illustrating feasibility and potential diagnostic value of tau PET imaging with [F]PI-2620 for the diagnosis of DS-AD.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Shanghai Jing'an District Central Hospital, Shanghai, China.
Objective: To elucidate the immediate electrophysiological effects of mirror visual feedback (MVF) combined with or without touch task in subacute stroke.
Methods: Subacute stroke patients and healthy controls were recruited to participate in four grasping tasks (MVF or no MVF, combined with rubber ball or no ball) under electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring. Event-related desynchronization (ERD) /event-related synchronization (ERS) and the lateralization index (LI) were utilized to observe the electrophysiological effects.
Towards personalized immersive virtual reality neurorehabilitation: a human-centered design.
J Neuroeng Rehabil
January 2025
Dept. of Cognitive Robotics, TU Delft, Delft, Netherlands.
Background: Head-mounted displays can be used to offer personalized immersive virtual reality (IVR) training for patients who have suffered an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) by tailoring the complexity of visual and auditory stimuli to the patient's cognitive capabilities. However, it is still an open question how these virtual environments should be designed.
Methods: We used a human-centered design approach to help define the characteristics of suitable virtual training environments for ABI patients.
