  1. 1. Stroke : patient characteristics, efficacy of a stroke unit and evaluation of hemodilution therapy

    Författare :Tage Strand; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute cerebrovascular disease; blood viscosity; cerebral infarction; hemodilution therapy; stroke unit;

    Sammanfattning : Stroke is a major health problem in all developed countries. These studies, performed in a stroke unit at a medical department, were designed to characterize essential clinical features of the different cerebrovascular disorders on admission to hospital, to evaluate the efficacy of admitting unselected stroke patients to a stroke unit and, to evaluate hemodilution as a therapeutical regime in patients with cerebral infarction.

    Sammanfattning : Background Many risk factors for stroke are well characterized and might, at least to some extent, be similar for first-ever stroke and for recurrent stroke events. However, previous studies have shown heterogeneous results on predictors and rates of stroke recurrence. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Cognition and activity early after stroke

    Författare :Tamar Abzhandadze; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute stroke; Activities of Daily Living; Cognition; Function; Functional cognition; Dependency; Global disability; Prediction; Screening; Assessment; Stroke unit; Registries; Ischemic stroke; Intracerebral hemorrhage; Occupational therapy; Rehabilitation;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction and aims: Cognitive impairment and dependency in activities of daily living (ADL) are common consequences of stroke. Due to a decrease in the length of hospital stay, assessment of these conditions has become necessary for the planning of discharge and rehabilitation. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Secondary prevention after acute coronary syndrome : antiplatelet therapy and risk factor control

    Författare :Robin Henriksson; Thomas Mooe; Fredrik Björklund; Stefan James; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute coronary syndrome; secondary prevention; myocardial infarction; ischemic stroke; antiplatelet therapy; risk factors; randomized controlled trial; cardiovascular disease; hjärt- och kärlforskning; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Sammanfattning : Background: One of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide is cardiovascular disease (CVD), including acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Despite improvements in medical treatment, management, and care over the years and the halving of mortality in recent decades, there is considerable room for improvement. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Aphasia in acute stroke

    Författare :Ann Charlotte Laska; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Acute stroke; aphasia; atrial fibrillation; depression; drug treatment; prognosis; speech and language therapy;

    Sammanfattning : Aphasia is a language impairment due to a brain lesion, usually in the left hemisphere, and is a common symptom in acute stroke. The aims of this thesis were to evaluate aphasia in acute stroke patients, to assess spontaneous language recovery, to evaluate the test instruments, to evaluate the efficacy of drug treatment, and speech and language therapy for recovery of aphasia, and to assess the possibility to reliable identify depression in aphasic patients.
