Stroke is an acute neurological dysfunction attributed to a focal injury of the central nervous system due reduced blood flow brain. Nowadays, stroke global threat associated with premature death and huge economic consequences. Hence, there urgency model effect several risk factors on occurrence, artificial intelligence (AI) seems be appropriate tool. In present study, we aimed (i) develop reliable machine learning (ML) prediction models for disease; (ii) cope typical severe class imbalance...
Background In patients with acute ischemic stroke and atrial fibrillation, early anticoagulation prevents recurrence but the risk of hemorrhagic transformation ( HT ). The aims this study were to evaluate in consecutive fibrillation (1) incidence HT, (2) time initiation , (3) association recurrences, (4) clinical outcome at 90 days. Methods Results was diagnosed by a second brain computed tomographic scan performed 24 72 hours after onset. recurrences as well mortality or disability...
Even though statin pretreatment is associated with better functional outcomes and lower risk of mortality in acute ischemic stroke, there are limited data evaluating this association stroke due to large artery atherosclerosis (LAA), which carries the highest early recurrence.Consecutive patients LAA were prospectively evaluated from 7 tertiary-care centers during a 3-year period. Statin pretreatment, demographics, vascular factors, admission discharge severity recorded. The outcome events...
Introduction: Cognitive impairment and malnutrition are two important public health issues in the elderly, which have been associated with their mental health.Aims: This study aims to evaluate nutritional status of an elderly population Greece, its association grade cognitive decline, anthropometric measures psychological status.Materials Methods: A total 2092 men women were enrolled from seven Greek cities. Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), Mental State Examination (MMSE) Geriatric...
This study aims to explore the associations between nutritional status and health-related quality of life, physical activity, sleep in older exclusively Caucasian adults from Greec who were free any severe disease. is a cross-sectional study. Mini Nutritional Assessment was used assess status, life assessed using Short Form Healthy Survey questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, activity levels via International Physical Activity Questionnaire. 3405 community-dwelling men women, over...
The Mediterranean diet (MD) is a beneficial dietary pattern with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can promote mental physical human health. This study aims to assess the impact of MD adherence on health-related quality life, activity levels, sleep in representative Greek elderly population.This cross-sectional study. A total 3254 persons ≥65 years from 14 different regions, urban, rural islands participated this study, which 48.4% were female 51.6% male....
In recent years, scientific discoveries in the field of neuroscience combined with developments artificial intelligence have led to development a range neurotechnologies. Advances neuroimaging systems, neurostimulators, and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are leading new ways enhancing, controlling, "reading" brain. addition, although BCIs were developed used primarily medical field, they now increasingly applied other fields (entertainment, marketing, education, defense industry). We...
Objectives: Aim of this study was to assess and compare health, quality life, well-being, job satisfaction insecurity between nurses, in a tertiary hospital Greece, working either under permanent or temporary contract.Material Methods: In cross-sectional study, consecutively recruited nurses answered structured questionnaire, the WHO-5 Well-being Index (WHO-5), Job Insecurity (JII), Work Ability (WAI), Well-Being at Scale (WBWS).Results: Included were 323 (87.6% women, age M±SD...
The aim of this study was to investigate sleep architecture in stroke patients, and correlate possible disturbances with the topography, severity outcome presence sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). In total, 62 acute patients 16 age- gender-matched hospitalised controls underwent polysomnographic studies. Sleep analysed according topography lesion, (National Institutes Health Stroke Scale) (Barthel Index) stroke. We found that is disturbed regardless SDB. (without SDB) have reductions total...
Background and Purpose Although onset-to-treatment time is associated with early clinical recovery in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients treated intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), the effect of timing tPA-induced recanalization on functional outcomes remains debatable.Methods We conducted a multicenter, prospective observational cohort study to determine whether (within 1-hour from tPA-bolus) complete or partial assessed during 2-hour real-time transcranial Doppler monitoring...
