Illness perception and self-care in hypertension treatment: a scoping review of current literature.
BMC Health Serv Res
December 2024
Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- Self-care and understanding one's illness are crucial in managing systemic arterial hypertension, motivating the study to explore how these concepts are represented in scientific research.
- A systematic review analyzed 892 studies, narrowing down to 39 relevant papers, primarily conducted in the U.S. over the past five years, focusing on observational data rather than interventions.
- Key findings highlighted that antihypertensive medication and patients' disease perceptions were commonly examined, but the involvement of healthcare professionals like nurses and doctors in these discussions was notably limited.
Neuronutrition and Its Impact on Post-Stroke Neurorehabilitation: Modulating Plasticity Through Diet.
Nutrients
October 2024
Department of Life, Health and Environmental Sciences, University of L'Aquila, 67100 L'Aquila, Italy.
The recovery of neurological deficits after ischemic stroke largely depends on the brain's ability to reorganize its undamaged neuronal circuits and neuronal plasticity phenomena. The consolidated evidence highlights the involvement of the patient's impaired nutritional conditions in post-stroke recovery and unsatisfying rehabilitative outcomes. Standardized nutritional protocols usually applied in hospitalized patients in a rehabilitation setting aim mainly to improve the general health conditions of patients, do not consider the high inter-individual variability in neurorehabilitation outcomes, and are not sufficiently modifiable to provide neuroprotective and restorative dietary patterns that could promote neuronal plasticity and functional recovery during neurorehabilitation.
