The German DRG system defines specialized treatments through a set of minimal requirements, the documentation of which and its assessment by external specialists of the medical service of the statutory health insurance causing frictions between rehabilitation hospitals and the medical service. It is especially problematic to make a clear distinction between nursing care and treatment. To reduce frictions and interface problems, a catalogue of acts of therapy performed by nurses was agreed for neurological early rehabilitation in Baden-Württemberg. This Elzach concept and catalogue describe therapeutic nursing in neurological rehabilitation and increase transparency and accountability both for providers and cost carriers.

Cerebral ischemic stroke, neuronal death, and inflammation bring difficulties in neuroprotection and rehabilitation. In this study, we developed and designed the ability of natural lactoferrin-polyethylene glycol-polyphenylalanine-baicalein nanomicelles (LF-PEG-PPhe-Bai) to target and reduce these pathological processes, such as neurological damage and cognitive impairment in the stages of poststroke. Nanomicelles made from biocompatible materials have improved bioavailability and targeted distribution to afflicted brain areas.
