Changes in Sensitivity, Taste and Smell in Stroke Patients
This study evaluates changes in swallowing using endoscopic swallowing studies and measuring of pharyngeal sensitivity, taste and smell in stroke patients. Younger (<60 years) and older (>60 years) volunteers will serve as control.
Non-disabling Ischemic Cerebrovascular Event With Apathy
The burden of non-disabling ischemic cerebrovascular events (NICE) is significantly increased. However, few previous studies have focused on affective impairment after transient ischemic attack (TIA) and minor stroke. Stroke survivors are often described as apathetic. Even though post-stroke apathy (PSA) affects one in three stroke patients,it has not hitherto received …
Muscle-tendon Interaction in the Spastic Sural Triceps During Gait
This project aims to study the mechanical behavior of the muscle-tendon unit (MTU) of the gastrocnemius medialis (GM) and the Achilles tendon (AT) in post-stroke and spinal cord injured (SCI) patients compared to a healthy population, focusing on the variations in muscle and tendon length during the stance phase of …
INflammation and Small Vessel Disease Study
A prospective observational cohort study in patients with cerebral small vessel disease deterring whether changes in systemic inflammation predict brain white matter damage measured using MRI and cognitive decline. This is a study funded by a joint BHF-Dutch Heart Foundation research grant and will be conducted in both Cambridge UK …
Epidemiology of Silent and Overt Strokes in Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a rare disease occurring in an estimated 100,000 individuals, often poor and underserved, in the US. Silent and overt strokes contribute significantly to morbidity in adults with SCD, resulting in functional impairment, challenges with school and job performance, and premature death. Five NIH-funded randomized controlled …
International Intracranial Dissection Study
Cervicocerebral artery dissection is a major cause for stroke in young adults. While knowledge of cervical artery dissection (CeAD) has increased thanks to a number of high quality studies, knowledge on intracranial artery dissection (IAD) is limited. Due to treatment and publication bias little is known about the natural history …
Carotid Stenosis Management During COVID-19 Era - Pilot Study
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid stenting (CAS) are often performed for subgroups of patients for whom procedural benefit has not been established in randomised trials and despite evidence of serious procedural risk. In some places, the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult or impossible to perform CEA and CAS in …
Traumatic Brain Injury and Stroke Long Term Outcome
Investigators will determine the long-lasting effects of post-acute rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury and stroke. Investigators will also evaluate if the beneficial effects of rehabilitation continue after discharge from a rehabilitative program.
Predisposing Factors for Post-stroke Epilepsy
The goal of this observational study is to learn about epilepsy after a stroke (post-stroke epilepsy). The main questions it aims to answer are: What make some patients develop epilepsy after a stroke? Does sleep have an impact on the development of post-stroke epilepsy? Participants will undergo: Electroencephalography (EEG) Magnetic …
Blood Extracellular Vesicles as Predictive Recovery Biomarker After Stroke and Brain Injury
The rehabilitation outcome and recovery, in people after stroke or with vascular severe brain injury(vSBI), are difficult to predict. Moreover, the clinical management of patients during hospitalization is problematic due to complex clinical conditions and complications, e.g. healthcare-associated infections(HAIs). Today we still lack early objective biomarkers that could predict the …
