Aim: To describe healthcare professionals' experience of needed competence in patient stroke care within specialist and primary healthcare.
Background: Healthcare professionals who provide stroke care need multifaceted, multi-professional skills; ongoing training is important for competent stroke care.
Design: A descriptive qualitative study.
Methods: Six focus group interviews with semi-structured interviews were conducted in October and November 2020. Healthcare professionals (n = 25) working in stroke care units in both specialist and primary healthcare settings were interviewed. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed inductively by content analysis. The study was conducted, and results were reported according to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research.
Results: Five main categories were identified: clinical competence; multiprofessional networking competence; competence in interaction skills; emotional and psychoeducational support competence; and self-management and development competence.
Conclusion: Competence in stroke care includes both in-depth and wide-ranging professional competences that require ongoing development. Utilizing various education models and collaborative learning approaches can help meet the requirements for developing competence in stroke care.
Patient Or Public Contribution: No patient or public contribution.

The aim of this study was to evaluate how COVID-19 affected acute stroke care and outcome in patients with acute ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. We performed a retrospective analysis on patients who were admitted with acute ischemic (AIS) or hemorrhagic (ICH) stroke from September 2020 to May 2021 with and without COVID-19. We recorded demographic and clinical data, imaging parameters, functional outcome and mortality at one year.

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) is a common and serious complication of reperfusion therapy in patients with ischemic stroke (IS). The regulation of microglia-mediated neuroinflammation to control CIRI has garnered considerable attention. The balance of iron metabolism is key to maintaining the physiological functions of microglia.

The subspecialty of neurocritical care has grown significantly over the past 40 years along with advancements in the medical and surgical management of neurological emergencies. The modern neuroscience intensive care unit (neuro-ICU) is grounded in close collaboration between neurointensivists and neurosurgeons in the management of patients with such conditions as ischemic stroke, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, subdural hematomas, and traumatic brain injury. Neuro-ICUs are also capable of specialized monitoring such as serial neurological examinations by trained neuro-ICU nurses; invasive monitoring of intracranial pressure, cerebral oxygenation, and cerebral hemodynamics; cerebral microdialysis; and noninvasive monitoring, including the use of pupillometry, ultrasound monitoring of optic nerve sheath diameters, transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, near-infrared spectroscopy, and continuous electroencephalography.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of wearable devices when associated with usual care on the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with ischemic heart disease compared with usual care alone.
Methods: Randomised clinical trials with patients aged 18 years and above with ischemic heart disease, using wearable devices and assessing at least one of the primary outcomes (myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiovascular mortality, or major adverse cardiovascular events) or secondary outcomes (all-cause mortality, hospitalisation, all arrhythmias, heart failure, unstable angina or revascularisation procedures) were included. MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINHAL, INAHTA and the Web of Science Core Collection were searched in April 2024.
