PODCAST RELEASES Sedentary behaviour after stroke: a new target for therapeutic intervention: Sarah Morton

Over the last 10 years evidence has emerged that too much sedentary time (e.g. time spent sitting down) has adverse effects on health, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality. A considerable amount of media attention has been given to the topic. The current UK activity guidelines recommend that all adults should minimise the amount of time spent being sedentary for extended periods. How best to minimise sedentary behaviour is a focus of ongoing research. 

Carmen Lahiff-Jenkins, Managing Editor of the International Journal of Stroke spoke to Dr Sarah Morton lead author of the opinion piece Sedentary behaviour after stroke: a new target for therapeutic intervention.

PODCAST: THE INCIDENCE OF PREGNANCY-RELATED STROKE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS

International Journal of Stroke: Podcast Series

Stroke affects 30/100,000 pregnancies, with ischemia, CVST and hemorrhage causing roughly equal numbers and with highest risk peripartum and postpartum. Organized approaches to the management of this high-risk population, informed by existing evidence from stroke and obstetrical care are needed, given the profound impact of stroke on women of childbearing age, their families, and health systems. And given the increasing organization of both stroke and obstetrical care internationally, it is vital to have accurate estimates of stroke incidence in and around pregnancy to facilitate both clinical decision-making and health system planning.

I’m Carmen Lahiff-Jenkins Managing Editor of the International Journal of Stroke and I spoke to Richard H. Swartz lead author of the article The incidence of pregnancy-related stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis published in the International Journal of Stroke.

Fibrinolytic for Treatment of Intraventricular Haemorrhage

Fibrinolytic for Treatment of Intraventricular Haemorrhage

Fibrinolytic for Treatment of Intraventricular Hemorrhage: A Meta-Analysis and 

Systematic Review published in the International Journal of Stroke 

Intraventricular haemorrhage is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Treating it with intraventricular fibrinolytic therapy via a catheter is becoming an increasingly utilized intervention. But what is the role of this treatment in hypertensive intraventricular haemorrhage patients and what are the effect sizes for survival as well as level of function at differing time points?

Where to now? AVERT answered an important question, but raised many more

The AVERT trial was a Phase 3 randomised trial with over 2100 subjects designed to end the
controversy about the early mobilisation of stroke patients. It’s sounds intuitive doesn’t it, if a patient has a stroke get them up and moving as soon as possible get the blood flowing and consequently the patient healing faster.

Stroke while driving: finding the risk factors

Stroke while driving: frequency and association with automobile accidents

Driving while having a stroke is potentially life threatening, imagine driving down a dark road at night, or a busy peak hour city street and suffering a stroke? A group of researchers in Japan, have looked at stroke while driving and they may be on the way to pinpointing the risk factors that may potentially be modified to make driving safer for those at risk of stroke. 

Carmen Lahiff-Jenkins, Managing Editor of the International Journal of Stroke spoke to Dr Joji Inamasu from Saiseikai Utsunomiya Byoin, Department of Neurosurgery in Tochigi, Japan.

Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable - development, monitoring and reporting - Marion Walker

Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable - development, monitoring and reporting - Marion Walker

Improving the development, monitoring and reporting of stroke rehabilitation research: consensus-based core recommendations from the Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable (SRRR) 

Agreed definitions and a shared vision for new standards in stroke recovery research: The Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable taskforce.

Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable - definitions - Karen Borschmann and Kate Hayward

Common language and definitions were required to develop an agreed framework spanning the four working groups for the The Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable taskforce. 

: translation of basic science, biomarkers of stroke recovery, measurement in clinical trials and intervention development and reporting. 

The Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable (SRRR) was convened with the aim to move rehabilitation research forward. Working collectively across four initial priority areas the #SRRR team reviewed, discussed, and attempted to achieve consensus on key recommendations in each of the areas of translation of basic science, biomarkers of stroke recovery, measurement in clinical trials and intervention development and reporting. 

Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery Roundtable - Looking at translational/preclincal research in recovery with Dr Dale Corbett PODCAST

SRRR - Translational/Preclincal with Dr Dale Corbett

Stroke recovery research involves distinct biological and clinical targets compared to the study of acute stroke. We know that moving preclinical treatments into the clinical realm has been fraught with notorious difficulties, one very well known area has been of course the incredible disappointments with neuroprotection. In comparison Stroke recovery involves distinct biological principles and a very different time window, in fact is unlike acute stroke at all! 

We spoke to Dr Dale Corbett, from the Faculty of Medicine who was the lead author on the Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery Roundtable paper on 'Enhancing the alignment of the preclinical and clinical stroke recovery research pipeline'.

Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery Roundtable - Looking at biomarkers with Dr Lara Boyd PODCAST

SRRR - Biomarkers with Dr Lara Boyd

A biomarker is a naturally occurring molecule, gene, or characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention.

Carmen Lahiff-Jenkins. Managing Editor of the International Journal of Stroke spoke to Dr Lara Boyd, physical therapist from the University of British Columbia and the biomarkers group from the Stroke Rehabilitation and Neurorecovery Roundtable.
