Sex Differences in the Risk of Stroke Associated with Traditional and Non-Traditional Factors in a US Cohort of People with HIV Infection

Study on Gender Differences and Stroke Risk Among HIV-Infected Individuals Background Individuals with HIV infection may face a higher risk of stroke, particularly women. However, understanding of whether the influence of various factors on cerebrovascular risk in this population differs by gender and whether these differences contribute to variati...

Amorfrutin B Compromises Hypoxia/Ischemia-Induced Activation of Human Microglia in a PPARγ-Dependent Manner: Effects on Inflammation, Proliferation Potential, and Mitochondrial Status

Research on the Effects of Amorfrutin B on Human Microglia under Hypoxia/Ischemia Conditions: Anti-inflammatory Action, Proliferation Potential, and Mitochondrial State Based on the PPARγ Pathway Research Background Hypoxia/ischemia is a major cause of brain injury in both neonatal and adult populations. Perinatal asphyxia and ischemic stroke are l...

Exoskeleton Rehabilitation Robot Training for Balance and Lower Limb Function in Sub-Acute Stroke Patients: A Pilot, Randomized Controlled Trial

The Impact of Exoskeleton Rehabilitation Robot Training on Balance and Lower Limb Function in Subacute Stroke Patients: A Preliminary, Randomized Controlled Trial Research Background and Purpose Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. With the rapid development of stroke treatment technology, the mortality rate of stroke has si...

A Scoping Review on Examination Approaches for Identifying Tactile Deficits at the Upper Extremity in Individuals with Stroke

Academic Report on “The Scope Review of Upper Limb Tactile Deficit Examination Methods” In recent years, post-stroke patients’ capacity to perceive tactile stimuli has become a focal point of research. This perception is very important for the execution of movements and learning activities in everyday life. However, tactile perceptual deficits seri...

Robot-aided assessment and associated brain lesions of impaired ankle proprioception in chronic stroke

Robot-Assisted Assessment of Chronic Stroke Adults’ Ankle Proprioception Deficits and Related Brain Injury Academic Background Stroke is a common neurological disorder, often resulting in hemiplegia, which affects the patient’s balance and gait control. Proprioception refers to the self-perception of body posture and movement, provided by mechanore...

Time Synchronization Between Parietal–Frontocentral Connectivity with MRCP and Gait in Post-Stroke Bipedal Tasks

Time Synchronization of Motor-Related Cortical Potentials and Parieto-Frontocentral Connectivity in Bilateral Tasks of Stroke Patients Background In stroke rehabilitation research, functional connectivity (FC), motor-related cortical potentials (MRCP), and gait activities are common metrics related to rehabilitation outcomes. Although these have be...

Multi-task Heterogeneous Ensemble Learning-based Cross-subject EEG Classification in Stroke Patients

Multi-task Heterogeneous Ensemble Learning-based Cross-subject EEG Classification in Stroke Patients

Background Introduction Motor Imagery (MI) refers to performing activities through imagination without actual muscle movement. This paradigm is widely used in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) to decode brain activities into control commands for external devices. Specifically, Electroencephalography (EEG) is widely used in BCI due to its relative affo...

Strokeclassifier: Ischemic Stroke Etiology Classification by Ensemble Consensus Modeling Using Electronic Health Records

StrokeClassifier: An AI Tool for Etiological Classification of Ischemic Stroke Based on Electronic Health Records Project Background and Motivation Identifying the etiology of strokes, particularly acute ischemic stroke (AIS), is crucial for secondary prevention, but it is often very challenging. In the United States, there are nearly 676,000 new c...

Surgical Outcomes of Low-Flow Bypass Surgery in Intracranial Atherosclerotic Steno-Occlusive Diseases

This is a report on a scholarly article regarding the treatment results of low-bypass surgery for 215 patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis or occlusion at Seoul National University Hospital. Background Introduction: Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) causing stenosis or occlusion is one of the major causes leading to ischemi...

Outcomes of Mechanical Thrombectomy for Patients with Stroke Presenting with Low Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score in Early and Late Time Windows

Outcomes of Mechanical Thrombectomy for Stroke Patients with Low Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score Background Acute ischemic stroke is a life-threatening disease, and large vessel occlusion is one of the major causes of severe disability. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has become the standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke, with multiple cli...
