    International Experts Push for Innovation to Improve Stroke Recovery - 6 month(s) ago

    October 17, 2023 — Scientists from The Florey are among the world’s leading stroke experts who have mapped out how researchers and clinicians can improve outcomes for people who have survived a stroke.  The third Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable, an initiative of the International Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Alliance, has made a series of key recommendations about managing fatigue, measuring mobility, harnessing non-invasive brain stimulation technologies and improving how trials are designed. The highly influential gathering of world stroke experts published their findings in a special edition of International Journal of Stroke.  Associate Professor Kate Hayward from The Florey and University of Melbourne in Australia, co-chaired and convened the current roundtable, which was established by fellow Florey stroke expert Professor Julie Bernhardt in 2016.  “The roundtables aim to address gaps that are hampering progress across the field of stroke recovery and rehabili

    Learning More About How Cancer Affects Stroke Risk - 6 month(s) ago

    October 17, 2023 — Patients with a previous or current cancer diagnosis are more likely to have a stroke than the general population, but how are specific cancers and treatments associated with stroke risk?  A collaborative team led by University of Cincinnati, University of North Carolina (UNC) and Duke University researchers is seeking to answer that question.  Soma Sengupta, MD, PhD, now division chief of neuro-oncology at UNC, had the idea to study the prevalence of stroke in patients with different cancer types while a faculty member at UC. She recruited a team that included stroke experts Stacie Demel, DO, PhD, of UC and Wuwei Feng of Duke to put together a retrospective pilot study.  “This research question that crosses the stroke and neuro-oncology specialties is not a new question, but one that has been difficult to study,” said Demel, a physician-researcher at the UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute and associate professor of clinical neurology and rehabilitation medicine in UC

    St. Joseph's Children's Hospital Implants 250th Pulmonary Valve Without Open-Heart Surgery - 6 month(s) ago

    October 17, 2023 — The Patel Children’s Heart Institute at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital achieved a milestone recently, implanting its 250th congenital transcatheter heart valve.   “This accomplishment reflects the dedication of our entire congenital cardiac team,” said Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Jeremy Ringewald, who is the director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital. “Most importantly, this means that we allowed 250 patients in need of pulmonary or tricuspid valve replacement to avoid open-heart surgery.”  Tampa resident John Pino, 57, was the recipient of the 250th valve. He was born with pulmonary stenosis, a heart defect in which the pulmonary valve is narrowed and opens poorly. Pino underwent open-heart surgery when he was 9 years old to open up the narrowed valve, trading blockage for leakage. Eventually, the leakage led to enlargement of his heart and diminished exercise tolerance.  “When it was determined that I would need to
