We measured stress using both the Perceived Stress Scale and biological markers, and resilience using both the Brief Resilience Scale and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Stroke outcomes were assessed using the Stroke Impact Scale. We found that, compared with age-matched controls, stroke survivors reported greater levels of perceived stress, and lower levels of resilience. In stroke survivors, both perceived stress and resilience were independently associated with stroke outcomes in linear regression models. In particular, these relationships were observed for cognitive outcomes including mood, memory, and communication. The association between stress and stroke outcome did not differ across time post stroke. Given that resilience is a modifiable psychological construct, future research may consider whether strategies directed at enhancing resilience may improve recovery from stroke.

The methodology involved three main phases: data collection and filtering, development of a clinical vocabulary, and the development of an automatic clinical text processing engine to aid the process and identify the unique and common topics. The common themes from the intersection of the three concepts were identified. These were then reviewed, with particular reference to the top 30 articles identified as intersecting these concepts. Results: The search of the three concepts separately yielded 405,636 publications. Publications were filtered to include only human studies, generating 263,751 publications related to the concepts of neuroplasticity (n=6,498), stroke recovery (n=79,060), and learning (n=178,193). A cluster concept map (network graph) was generated from the results; indicating the concept nodes, strength of link between nodes, and the intersection between all three concepts. We identified 23 common themes (topics) and the top 30 articles that best represent the intersecting themes. A time-linked pattern emerged. Discussion and Conclusions: Our novel approach developed for this review allowed the identification of the common themes/topics that intersect the concepts of neuroplasticity, stroke recovery, and learning. These may be synthesised to advance a neuroscience-informed approach to stroke rehabilitation. We also identified gaps in available literature using this approach. These may help guide future targeted research.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 15:08:18 AEDT ]]> Relationship between levels of pre-stroke physical activity and post-stroke serum insulin-like growth factor I https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45071 p = 0.06) or as a significant effect (ΔIGF-I, p = 0.03) after all the adjustments.

From these categories, an overall theme was derived: The multifaceted layers of multimodal stimulation. Enjoying music, being part of a group with peers, a skilled instructor, and being able to manage the challenging movements, were related to positive experiences. In contrast, negative experiences were associated with not being able to perform the exercises, and with group members who dominated the conversational space. Conclusion: This study shows that access to a multimodal rehabilitation program with rhythm and music as operating ingredients may contribute to positive experiences for many individuals in a late phase after stroke in terms of motor, cognitive, as well as emotional enhancements. Important components were the music, the social interaction, the challenging exercises, and the skilled instructor.]]> Tue 03 Sep 2019 17:59:29 AEST ]]> A qualitative exploration of post-acute stroke participants' experiences of a multimodal intervention incorporating horseback riding https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33463 transformative experiences; human-horse interaction; togetherness and belonging; and the all-in-one solution. Interacting with the horse and peers had a profound emotional impact on the participants. The participants also reported having learned new skills, increased self-efficacy and self-esteem, and improvements in balance and gait, all of which could be transferred to everyday life. The horse itself played a central role, but other components, such as the other group members, the instructors, and the challenging tasks on the horseback, were also important. Conclusion: A multimodal rehabilitation intervention that includes horseback riding may provide stroke survivors in a late phase of recovery with rich pleasurable experiences that may have life-changing and profound impacts on their emotional and physical state.]]> Tue 03 Sep 2019 17:59:22 AEST ]]> Measuring research impact in medical research institutes: a qualitative study of the attitudes and opinions of Australian medical research institutes towards research impact assessment frameworks https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35011 Thu 30 May 2019 15:05:50 AEST ]]> Improving patient outcomes following total knee arthroplasty: identifying rehabilitation pathways based on modifiable psychological risk and resilience factors https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39917 Thu 30 Jun 2022 11:48:31 AEST ]]> Aerobic exercise and consecutive task-specific training (AExaCTT) for upper limb recovery after stroke: a randomized controlled pilot study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36655 Thu 28 Oct 2021 13:04:35 AEDT ]]> Can residential architecture constitute a part of a human-enriched environment and contribute to recovery, prevention and stress reduction? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41049 Thu 21 Jul 2022 15:10:18 AEST ]]> Enhancing the alignment of the preclinical and clinical stroke recovery research pipeline: consensus-based core recommendations from the stroke recovery and rehabilitation roundtable translational working group https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33978 Thu 14 Apr 2022 11:04:13 AEST ]]> Growth hormone improves cognitive function after experimental stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33090 Thu 13 Jan 2022 10:30:28 AEDT ]]> Growth hormone deficiency is frequent after recent stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33725 Thu 13 Jan 2022 10:30:08 AEDT ]]> An approach to measuring and encouraging research translation and research impact https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24213 Thu 09 Dec 2021 10:12:04 AEDT ]]> An approach to measuring and encouraging research translation and research impact https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30192 Thu 09 Dec 2021 10:11:43 AEDT ]]> Association of cortical vein filling with clot location and clinical outcomes in acute ischaemic stroke patients https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29940 Thu 04 Nov 2021 10:39:20 AEDT ]]> MIDAS (Modafinil in Debilitating Fatigue after Stroke): a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33106 0.05).

GFAP −/− Vim −/− mice develop larger infarcts after ischemic stroke (Li et al. in J Cereb Blood Flow Metab 28(3):468–481, 2008). Here, we attempted to analyze the underlying mechanisms using oxygen–glucose deprivation (OGD), an in vitro ischemia model, examining a potential link between astrocyte intermediate filaments and reactive oxygen species (ROS). We observed a reorganization of the intermediate filament network in astrocytes exposed to OGD. ROS accumulation was higher in GFAP −/− Vim −/− than wild-type astrocytes when exposed to OGD followed by reperfusion or when exposed to hydrogen peroxide. These results indicate that the elimination of ROS is impaired in the absence of the intermediate filament system. Compared to wild-type astrocytes, GFAP −/− Vim −/− astrocytes exposed to OGD and reperfusion exhibited increased cell death and conferred lower degree of protection to cocultured neurons. We conclude that the astrocyte intermediate filament system is important for the cell response to oxidative stress induced by OGD followed by reperfusion.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:56 AEDT ]]> Nonpsychotic mental disorders in teenage males and risk of early stroke: a population-based study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26114 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:06 AEDT ]]> Pituitary function and functional outcome in adults after severe traumatic brain injury: the long-term perspective https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28612 p=0.01); the higher body mass index was partially explained by PTHP ( change=0.07, p=0.001).

We investigated whether genetic variation at the IGF1 locus is associated with i) s-IGF1, ii) IS occurrence, iii) IS severity, and iv) post-stroke outcome. Design/methods: Patients (n=844; 66% males, mean age 56 years) and community controls (n=668) were included from the Sahlgrenska Academy Study on Ischemic Stroke (SAHLSIS). Post-stroke outcome was evaluated with the modified Rankin Scale at 3 and 24 months after index stroke, and baseline stroke severity with the Scandinavian Stroke Scale. s-IGF1 was determined in patients and after random selection in 40 of the controls. Results: Eleven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected in the IGF1 gene. In healthy controls the major allele of rs7136446 was associated with higher s-IGF1, whereas in patients no such association was found. No SNP was associated with IS, nor with stroke severity. After multivariate correction for presence of diabetes, smoking, and hypertension, the major allele of rs7136446 was associated with favorable functional outcome 24-months post-stroke (odds ratio 1.46; 95% CI 1.09–1.96). Conclusion: Variation in rs7136446 of the IGF1 gene associates with post-stroke outcome in relatively young IS patients. Also, rs7136446 associates with s-IGF1 in controls but not in IS, which indicates that IS perturbs a normal genetic impact on s-IGF1 levels.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:37:28 AEDT ]]> Combined ampakine and BDNF treatments enhance poststroke functional recovery in aged mice via AKT-CREB signaling https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27724 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:43 AEDT ]]> Chronic stress exacerbates neuronal loss associated with secondary neurodegeneration and suppresses microglial-like cells following focal motor cortex ischemia in the mouse https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27631 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:04 AEDT ]]> Influence of cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength in early adulthood on long-term risk of stroke in Swedish men https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28856 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:18 AEDT ]]> Physical activity for cognitive and mental health in youth: a systematic review of mechanisms https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29552 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:10 AEDT ]]> Photothrombotic stroke induces persistent ipsilateral and contralateral astrogliosis in key cognitive control nuclei https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28942 p < 0.05), as defined by a marked elevation in GFAP expression, within all 13 sites assessed within the ipsilateral (lesioned) hemisphere.

The s-IGF-I level was not associated with recurrent stroke (N=79) or death (N=44), although it correlated with recovery (r=0.12, P=0.035). In the regression analysis, s-IGF-I associated with recovery between 3 months and 7 years (but not between 2 and 7 years). The associations did not withstand adjustment for age and sex. For comparison, the corresponding associations between 3 months and 2 years withstood all adjustments. Conclusion: The association for s-IGF-I with long-term post-stroke recovery persists after 7 years, which is also reflected in the mRS score distributions at all time-points. The effects are however modest, and not driven by mortality or recurrent stroke.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:47:17 AEDT ]]> Chronic stress induced disturbances in Laminin: a significant contributor to modulating microglial pro-inflammatory tone? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33098 Mon 27 Aug 2018 12:12:48 AEST ]]> Increasing time spent engaging in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity by community-dwelling adults following a transient ischemic attack or non-disabling stroke: a systematic review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45971 Mon 26 Jun 2023 16:03:41 AEST ]]> Is stroke a neurodegenerative condition? a critical review of secondary neurodegeneration and amyloid-beta accumulation after stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31937 stroke may induce a neurodegenerative condition. Certainly, this is supported to some degree by the relatively high incidence of dementia after stroke. We begin this review by addressing the available research on human and rodent SND pathology after stroke. We next consider amyloid-β in the context of SND. We discuss what amyloid-β is, how is it made, and introduce some caveats on how amyloid-β measurements should be interpreted. In summary, we conclude that there is now robust pre-clinical evidence demonstrating the presence of amyloid disturbances at sites of SND after stroke. We find, however, that the human literature on the topic is more limited and further work is warranted. While the understanding of amyloid disturbances remains inconclusive in human studies, stroke clearly lead to the development of a neurodegenerative-like condition at the sites of SND, with prominent features such as death of neurons and gliosis]]> Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:48:18 AEST ]]> Cognitive medicine - a new approach in health care science https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32795 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:44:11 AEST ]]> Altering the rehabilitation environment to improve stroke survivor activity: A Phase II trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49585 Mon 22 May 2023 12:22:22 AEST ]]> Music and the Brain across the Lifespan https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49536 Mon 22 May 2023 08:38:13 AEST ]]> Similar cognitive deficits in mice and humans in the chronic phase post-stroke identified using the touchscreen-based paired-associate learning task https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42362 Mon 22 Aug 2022 14:08:28 AEST ]]> Medical Student Experiences of Engaging in a Psychological Flexibility Skill Training App for Burnout and Well-being: Pilot Feasibility Study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53248 Mon 20 Nov 2023 10:15:18 AEDT ]]> Physical, cognitive and social activity levels of stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation within a mixed rehabilitation unit https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18704 Mon 20 Jul 2015 17:48:19 AEST ]]> Effect of high-intensity interval training on hippocampal metabolism in older adolescents https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50094 Mon 17 Jul 2023 10:30:00 AEST ]]> Physical Activity After Transient Ischemic Attack or Mild Stroke Is Business as Usual https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47380 Mon 16 Jan 2023 13:46:52 AEDT ]]> Clopidogrel Administration Impairs Post-Stroke Learning and Memory Recovery in Mice https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50905 Mon 13 Nov 2023 08:50:41 AEDT ]]> Age-dependent Disturbances of Neuronal and Glial Protein Expression Profiles in Areas of Secondary Neurodegeneration Post-stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43040 Mon 12 Sep 2022 12:10:20 AEST ]]> How little is enough?

Perceived fatigue was measured before, during and after the test session, and some of the tests were administered with and without standardized auditory distraction. Executive function and complex attention performance were poorer among the patients compared to controls. Interestingly, their performance was not significantly affected by auditory distraction but, in contrast to the controls, they reported a clear-cut increase in mental tiredness, during and after the test session. Thus, patients with stress-related exhaustion manage to perform during distraction but this was achieved at a great cost. These findings are discussed in terms of a possible tendency to adopt a high-effort approach despite cognitive impairments and the likelihood that such an approach will require increased levels of effort, which can result in increased fatigue. We tentatively conclude that increased fatigue during cognitive tasks is a challenge for patients with stress-related exhaustion and plausibly of major importance when returning to work demanding high cognitive performance.]]> Mon 09 Apr 2018 10:08:09 AEST ]]> A mixed-methods study to explore opinions of research translation held by researchers working in a Centre of Research Excellence in Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42851 Mon 05 Sep 2022 15:40:20 AEST ]]> COMbined Physical and somatoSEnsory training after stroke: Development and description of a novel intervention to improve upper limb function https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42735 Fri 30 Jun 2023 12:50:12 AEST ]]> AExaCTT - Aerobic Exercise and Consecutive Task-specific Training for the upper limb after stroke: protocol for a randomised controlled pilot study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30579 max) immediately prior to the 1 hour of task-specific training with the therapist. Recruitment, adherence, retention, participant acceptability, and adverse events will be recorded. Clinical outcome measures will be performed pre-randomisation at baseline, at completion of the training program, and at 1 and 6 months follow-up. Primary clinical outcome measures will be the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) and the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT). If aerobic exercise prior to task-specific training is acceptable, and a future phase 3 randomised controlled trial seems feasible, it should be pursued to determine the efficacy of this combined intervention for people after stroke.]]> Fri 24 Aug 2018 09:07:00 AEST ]]> Increased Relative Functional Gain and Improved Stroke Outcomes: A Linked Registry Study of the Impact of Rehabilitation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51912 Fri 22 Sep 2023 10:40:45 AEST ]]> Corticosterone administration alters white matter tract structure and reduces gliosis in the sub-acute phase of experimental stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40655 Fri 22 Jul 2022 14:02:02 AEST ]]> Impact assessment of the Centre for Research Excellence in Stroke Rehabilitation and Brain Recovery https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53133 Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:23:28 AEDT ]]> Growth hormone promotes motor function after experimental stroke and enhances recovery-promoting mechanisms within the peri-infarct Area https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38033 Fri 15 Jul 2022 10:39:21 AEST ]]> Motor Function in the Late Phase After Stroke: Stroke Survivors' Perspective. https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41794 Fri 12 Aug 2022 12:17:18 AEST ]]> Effects of horse-riding therapy and rhythm and music-based therapy on functional mobility in late phase after stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37036 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:32:41 AEDT ]]>
