2. 1. Mild stroke - consequences in everyday life, coping and life satisfaction

   Author : Gunnel Carlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : stroke; mild stroke; cognition; post-stroke fatigue; qualitative method; coping; life satisfaction;

   Abstract : Abstract Aim: The aim of this thesis was to explore the life situation one year after an apparently mild stroke, and to compare life satisfaction between patients and their spouses. Method: Seventy-five patients with mild stroke participated. Neurological and cognitive impairment was assessed. READ MORE

4. 2. Clinical Findings and Outcome after Stroke. Including a Translational Stem Cell Therapy Perspective

   Author : Hossein Delavaran; Lund Neurologi; []
   Keywords : stroke; recovery; outcome; cognitive function; Upper extremity motor impairment; Stem cell therapy;

   Abstract : Background and Purpose: Stroke is one of the dominant causes of death and adult disability in the world. There is a need for novel therapeutic approaches to improve functional recovery and outcome after stroke, and experimental studies have shown that stem cell-based therapies (SCT) hold much potential in this regard.

5. 3. Executive dysfunctions in elderly persons with mild stroke

   Author : Marie Cederfeldt; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : stroke; Cognitive dysfunction; EFPT; Elderly; Executive dysfunction; Instrumental Activities of Daily Life; Mild stroke; Personal Activities of Daily Life; Translation;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT The overall aim of this thesis was to examine the performance of personal activities of daily living (P-ADL) related to cognitive and executive dysfunctions in elderly patients with mild stroke in the acute care and after 12 months, and to evaluate the instrument Executive Function Performance Test (EFPT) in persons with mild stroke. Methods: In the first study elderly patients with stroke (n = 60) referred to geriatric rehabilitation were included. READ MORE

6. 4. Ischemic Stroke Outcomes - Analyses of Protein and Genetic Biomarkers

   Author : Annie Pedersen; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Stroke; Prognosis; Biomarkers; Genetics; Genome-Wide Association Study;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to identify novel biomarkers for ischemic stroke outcomes. The specific aims were to test the hypotheses that circulating concentrations of hemostatic biomarkers predict the long-term post-stroke risk of recurrent vascular events/death (paper I) and/or cognitive impairment (paper II) and that circulating concentrations of a marker of neuronal damage (neurofilament light chain, NfL) predict post-stroke functional and neurological outcomes (paper III) as well as to identify genetic variants associated with post-stroke functional outcome through a genome wide association study (GWAS) approach (paper IV).

7. 5. Stroke recovery activity-dependent mechanisms

   Author : Miriana Quattromani; Neurokirurgi; []
   Keywords : Stroke recovery; Photothrombosis; Enriched environment; Bioluminescence imaging; Toll-like receptor 2; Microglia; Neurons; Extracellular matrix; Perineuronal nets; Aggrecan; Proteases; Parvalbumin; Resting-state functional connectivity;

   Abstract : Stroke is the leading cause of disability in developed countries and among the major causes of death worldwide. During a stroke, neurons deprived of their normal metabolic substrates cease to function in seconds and show signs of structural damage after only a few minutes which result in the impairment of sensory and motor function.
