Association of midlife stroke risk with structural brain integrity and memory performance at older ages: a longitudinal cohort study
(2020-03)Cardiovascular health in midlife is an established risk factor for cognitive function later in life. Knowing mechanisms of this associationmay allow preventative steps to be taken to preserve brain health and cognitive ... -
Neurophysiological signatures of hand motor response to dual-transcranial direct current stimulation in subacute stroke: a TMS and MEG study
(2020-06)Background:Dual transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to the bilateral primary motor cortices (M1s) has potential benefits in chronic stroke, but its effects in subacute stroke, when behavioural effects might be ... -
Prevalence, predictors, and prognosis of symptomatic intracranial stenosis in patients with transient ischaemic attack or minor stroke: a population-based cohort study
(2020-05)Symptomatic intracranial stenosis was perceived to convey a high risk of recurrent stroke, but two previous trials (SAMMPRIS and VISSIT) did not show superiority of intracranial stenosis stenting over intensive medical ... -
Self-monitoring of Blood Pressure in Patients With Hypertension-Related Multi-morbidity: Systematic Review and Individual Patient Data Meta-analysis
(2019-11)BACKGROUND Studies have shown that self-monitoring of blood pressure (BP) is effective when combined with co-interventions, but its efficacy varies in the presence of some co-morbidities. This study examined whether ... -
Severity of Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment Moderates the Relationship Between Cognitive Change and Emotional Distress in the Months Following Stroke
(2021-09)Depression and anxiety are common psychological consequences of stroke. Here, we investigated the relationships between cognitive change following stroke, awareness of cognitive impairments, and mood to further understanding ... -
Signal variance-based collateral index in DSC perfusion: A novel method to assess leptomeningeal collateralization in acute ischaemic stroke
(2019-02)As a determinant of the progression rate of the ischaemic process in acute large-vessel stroke, the degree of collateralization is a strong predictor of the clinical outcome after reperfusion therapy and may influence ... -
A Standardized Ward Round Proforma Improves Documentation in a Specialist Stroke Unit
(2022-11)Background and aim Ward-round documentation is important for clinical communication and patient safety. Standardized checklists have improved ward-round documentation in surgical and medical settings. This quality improvement ... -
Unravelling the complex interactions between self-awareness, cognitive change, and mood at 6-months post-stroke using the Y-shaped model
(2022-02)We investigated the relationships between cognitive change following stroke, awareness of cognitive impairments, and mood to further understanding of change processes influencing psychological outcomes post-stroke ... -
Validation of the UK English Oxford Cognitive Screen-Plus in Sub-Acute and Chronic Stroke Survivors.
(2022-06)Stroke survivors are routinely screened for cognitive impairment with tools that often fail to detect subtle impairments. The Oxford Cognitive Screen-Plus (OCS-Plus) is a brief tablet-based screen designed to detect subtle ...
