2. 1. Population-based studies of atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke

   Author : John Berntsson; Kardiovaskulär forskning - epidemiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; Ischemic stroke; Biomarker; Stroke; Natriuretic peptides; Vascular endothelial growth factor; Epidemiology; Atrial Fibrillation; Stroke; Ischemic stroke; Natriuretic peptides; Vascular endothelial growth factor; Epidemiology;

   Abstract : AbstractBackground: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke and the most common cause of cardioembolic stroke. Early detection of AF and AF subjects at high risk for stroke is therefore important. READ MORE

4. 2. Stroke in the Long Term. Prognosis, comorbidity, disability, readmission, and the caregiver perspective

   Author : Stefan Sennfält; Lund Neurologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Strokeuppföljning; Ischemisk stroke; Hjärnblödning; Samsjuklighet; Anhöriga; Återinläggning; Stroke Outcome; Ischemic Stroke; Intracerebral Haemorrhage; Comorbidity; Informal Caregivers; Readmission;

   Abstract : Background: Stroke is a major cause of mortality and disability. Prognosis is constantly evolving and is affected by multiple factors, many of which have not previously been thoroughly analyzed. READ MORE

5. 3. Occupational engagement after stroke - a long-term perspective

   Author : Charlotte Wassenius; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ADL; Adaptation; Cohort study; Occupational engagement; Occupational performance; Occupational therapy; Participation; Rehabilitation; Return to work; Stroke; Qualitative research;

   Abstract : Introduction: In the literature it is recognized that stroke can have lifelong consequences and that these consequences become evident in the occupations that constitute everyday life. With an increase in prevalence and in the number of stroke survivors returning to independent living there is a need to understand the challenges that may face stroke survivors, not just in a short perspective, but also in the chronic phase of stroke where new or different challenges may present in many areas of life.

6. 4. The impact of organizational and temporal factors on acute stroke care in Sweden

   Author : David Darehed; Marie Eriksson; Mathias Blom; Eva-Lotta Glader; Johan Niklasson; Bo Norrving; Ole Morten Rønning; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; in-hospital bed occupancy; stroke unit; The Swedish Stroke Register; organizational factors; temporal variation; stroke thrombolysis; door-to-needle time; quality of care; outcomes; Medicine; medicin;

   Abstract : Background: Acute stroke carries a high risk of morbidity and death, but early treatment can improve outcomes. Intravenous stroke thrombolysis (IVT) is one such treatment, it is however time-sensitive and show better outcomes the sooner it is given. READ MORE

7. 5. Virtual reality based kinematics for assessment of post-stroke upper limb function

   Author : Netha Hussain; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stroke; motion analysis; upper extremity; arm function; kinematics; virtual reality; outcome assessment; rehabilitation; recovery of function; task performance and analysis;

   Abstract : The main scope of this thesis was to develop a method for assessing the upper limb sensorimotor function following stroke using virtual reality-based technique. The studies reported in this thesis included 67 individuals extracted from the SALGOT (Stroke Arm Longitudinal Study at the University of Gothenburg) cohort and 43 healthy controls. READ MORE
