Stroke diagnosis could be challenging in the acute phase. We aimed to develop a blood-based diagnostic tool differentiate between real strokes and stroke mimics ischemic hemorrhagic hyperacute phase.The Stroke-Chip was prospective, observational, multicenter study, conducted at 6 Centers Catalonia. Consecutive patients with suspected were enrolled within first hours after symptom onset, blood samples drawn immediately admission. A 21-biomarker panel selected among previous results from...
Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic has had an important impact on the academic world. It is known that university studies can influence mental health of students, and especially those studying sciences. In this study, we therefore sought to analyse whether current affected well‐being final‐year nursing students. This was a multi‐centre with descriptive, longitudinal, prospective design. Mental evaluated using General Health Questionnaire. A total 305 participants were included in whom 52.1%...
Background and Purpose— Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) remains a challenge for stroke primary secondary prevention. Molecular pathways involved in the development of ICAD from its asymptomatic stages are largely unknown. In our population-based study, we aimed to compare risk factor biomarker profiles associated with intracranial extracranial cerebral atherosclerosis. Methods— The Asymptomatic Atherosclerosis (AsIA) study cohort includes random sample population 933 white...
The functional outcome after stroke is unpredictable; it not accurately predicted by clinical pictures upon hospital admission. presence of apoptotic neurons in the ischemic penumbra and perihematoma area may account for poor prognosis, but whether highly variable reflects differences genetic susceptibility to apoptosis elusive. p53 tumor suppressor protein, an important transcriptional regulator apoptosis, naturally occurs humans two variants with single nucleotide polymorphisms resulting...
A role of iron as a target to prevent stroke-induced neurodegeneration has been recently revisited due new evidence showing that ferroptosis inhibitors are protective in experimental ischemic stroke and might be therapeutic other neurodegenerative brain pathologies. Ferroptosis is form programmed cell death attributed an overwhelming lipidic peroxidation excessive free reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study aims evaluate the safety tolerability explore efficacy chelator antioxidant...
In addition to complying with strict academic standards, nursing students must acquire relevant knowledge and skills, learn how carry themselves in different often stressful professional settings. These obligations could severely affect their mental health. The purpose of this study was examine the health status undergraduate related factors. A total 1368 from universities Spain Chile were included study, which took place over 2018–2019 year. We assessed levels stress specific learning...
The increasing prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and its association with Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) presents challenges in early identification treatment. Although existing risk factors, biomarkers, genetic variants, imaging parameters predict MACE, emerging factors may be more decisive. Artificial intelligence machine learning techniques (ML) offer a promising avenue for effective AF evolution prediction. Five ML models were developed to obtain predictors MACE...
Background/Objectives: Psychosocial and cultural determinants have a special influence on the development, manifestation prognosis of common mental disorders such as anxiety depression. The objectives this study were to define psychosocial profile people most vulnerable development these health problems, analyse symptomatology that may from gender perspective, evaluate quality life coping strategies among adult population with diagnosis in rural area Catalonia (Spain). Methods: An...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia that associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). The main goal was to analyze the links and associations between AF MACE.
Large-artery intracranial atherosclerosis may be the most frequent cause of ischemic stroke worldwide. Traditional approaches have attempted to target disease when it is already symptomatic. However, early detection allow therapeutic intervention while still asymptomatic. The prevalence and natural history asymptomatic in Caucasians remain unclear. aims Barcelona-ASymptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerosis (ASIA) study are (1) determine ASIA a moderate-high vascular risk population, (2) its...
Background Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are potentially life-threatening complications in patients experiencing stroke during hospitalization. We aimed to test whether blood biomarker panels might predict these early after admission. Methods Results Nine hundred thirty-eight ischemic were prospectively recruited the Stroke-Chip study. Post-stroke hospitalization retrospectively evaluated. Blood samples drawn within 6 hours onset, 14...
New reperfusion therapies have improved the clinical recovery rates of acute ischemic stroke patients (AISP), but it is not known whether other factors, such as ability to cope, might also an effect. The aim this study was evaluate effect endovascular treatment (EVT) on coping strategies, quality life, and neurological functional outcomes in AISP at 3 months 1 year post-stroke. A multicenter, prospective, longitudinal, comparative a sub-study participants Endovascular Revascularization with...
(1) Background: AF-related strokes will triple by 2060, are associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline, and alone or in combination, be one the main health economic burdens on European population. The goal this paper is to describe incidence new AF stroke, decline mortality among people at high for AF. (2) Methods: Multicenter, observational, retrospective, community-based studies were conducted from 1 January 2015 31 December 2021. setting was primary care centers. A total...
ABSTRACT Objective: To know emotional exhaustion in nursing students from four universities. Method: Cross-sectional, correlational study, carried out Chile and Spain (2017-2018), with 1,368 answering a self-applied instrument (sociodemographic/academic variables the Emotional Exhaustion scale). Analysis Stata 15, according to variables: Chi2 tests, Wilcoxon rank sum test (Mann Whitney U test), analysis of variance multiple regression; confidence level 95% significance 5% (p < 0.05)....
(1) Background: Studies have shown that clinical experience has an impact on how students perceive geriatric care. The vulnerability of older people particularly allows to reflect and evaluate their learning. In this context, communication between tutors is important guiding a contextualized view the complexity situations. principal objective was explore feelings, perceptions, experiences nursing in care units during practices. (2) Methods: This qualitative study using content analysis where...
(1) Background: Clinical practice constitutes a scenario where the student approaches reality. The pedagogical relationship that is built between nurse, tutors and becomes important. And this requires intentional reflective accompaniment. principal objective was to design hybrid-learner-centered training model requiring reflection acquisition of specific skills. (2) Methodology: This prospective observational study using an sample 87 students. A hybrid based on dynamic virtual forum...
The implementation of prevention strategies can reduce the risk having a stroke. This prospective, longitudinal, multicenter observational study 82 patients describes health habits, quality life, coping strategies, and physical neurological status at 3 months 1 year after EuroQoL-5D life scale (EQ-5D) strategy measurement (COPE-28) were used to assess pain discomfort, behavioral lifestyle changes. Significant differences observed in or discomfort levels those with Correlation was also found...
Psychosomatic disorders can develop unevenly depending on certain health determinants; therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze prevalence psychosomatic and differences by age sex in a rural area. We conducted an observational descriptive retrospective population determine 201 diagnoses nature grouped into 25 diagnostic categories groups. A total 33,680 participants with diagnosis disorder were identified (64.6% women, 35.4% men). found statistically significant based 13 previously...
