Background and Purpose— Many ischemic strokes or transient attacks are labeled cryptogenic but may have undetected atrial fibrillation (AF). We sought to identify those most likely subclinical AF. Methods— prospectively studied patients with stroke attack aged ≥55 years in sinus rhythm, without known AF, enrolled the intervention arm of 30 Day Event Monitoring Belt for Recording Atrial Fibrillation After a Cerebral Ischemic (EMBRACE) trial. Participants underwent baseline 24-hour Holter ECG...
Dementia is a significant global health issue, particularly for low-income and middle-income countries which majorly contribute to the dementia cases reported globally (67%). We estimated prevalence of among older people in Bangladesh compared estimate across different sociodemographic characteristics divisions.A cross-sectional study was conducted 2019 individuals aged 60 years or seven administrative divisions Bangladesh. Equal numbers male female participants were recruited from each...
Recent developments have shown the existence of quantum low-density parity check (qLDPC) codes with constant rate and linear distance. A natural question concerns efficient decodability these codes. In this paper, we present a time decoder for recent Tanner construction asymptotically good qLDPC codes, which can correct all errors weight up to fraction blocklength. Our is an iterative algorithm searches corrections within constant-sized regions. At each step, are found by reducing locally...
Abstract Quantum Tanner codes constitute a family of quantum low-density parity-check with good parameters, i.e., constant encoding rate and relative distance. In this article, we prove that also facilitate single-shot error correction (QEC) adversarial noise, where one measurement round (consisting constant-weight parity checks) suffices to perform reliable QEC even in the presence errors. We establish result for both sequential parallel decoding algorithms introduced by Leverrier Zémor....
Cognitive impairment is common early after stroke but trajectories over the long term are variable. Some survivors make a full recovery, while others retain stable or decline. This study explored perceived advantages and disadvantages of discussing potential cognitive with their family members. Stroke at least six-months post-stroke were purposively sampled from an existing pool research volunteers recruited originally for OCS-Recovery study. They invited, alongside member, to participate in...
### What you need to know Globally, stroke is the second leading cause of death and third disability combined.1 Around 100 000 people have strokes each year, around 1.3 million in UK survived a stroke.2 High quality rehabilitation can minimise physical, emotional, cognitive, social impacts for who had their carers, yield substantial cost savings society.3 The National Institute Health Care Excellence (NICE) first published guidance on adults 2013.4 was updated October 2023 include appraisal...
Clinical guidelines recommend early cognitive assessment after stroke to inform rehabilitation and discharge decisions. However, little is known about survivors' experiences of the process. This qualitative study aimed explore patients' poststroke assessments.Stroke survivors were purposively sampled in an iterative process through a pool research volunteers who had previously taken part Oxford Cognitive Screen Recovery study. Stroke their family caregivers invited participate semistructured...
Improving early detection, management, and treatment of comorbid conditions to dementia in residential care could slow down cognitive functional decline, increase residents' quality life. We conducted a Delphi study comprising three rounds (two surveys an interview) identify the most difficult comorbidities deal with related issues. Participants were 15 UK-based experts including academics, workers, geriatricians, neuropsychologists. In first-round Delphi, mentioned health 19 following...
IntroductionNo stroke-specific cognitive screen currently exists for community-dwelling chronic stroke survivors, with primary care and community settings relying on dementia tools which often do not consider specific post-stroke impairments. The Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS) was developed use in acute stroke, but its administration time is prohibitive brief screening. Here, we aimed to develop, standardise, psychometrically validate the Mini-Oxford (Mini-OCS), a (<8 minute) stroke....
Strategies for the involvement of primary care in management patients with presumed or diagnosed dementia are heterogeneous across Europe. We wanted to explore attitudes physicians (PCPs) when managing dementia: (i) most popular cognitive tests, (ii) who had right initiate continue cholinesterase inhibitor memantine treatment, and (iii) relationship between permissiveness these rules/guidelines PCP's approach investigations assessment.Key informant survey.Primary practices 25 European...
Stroke is a common cause of physical disability but also strongly associated with cognitive impairment and risk for future dementia. Despite national clinical guidelines, the service provided stroke survivors memory difficulties varies across localities. This study critically evaluated views healthcare professionals about barriers facilitators to their care. Seventeen semi-structured individual interviews were conducted by single interviewer both primary secondary care clinicians in regular...
ABSTRACT Considerable international governmental support is focused on the timely diagnosis of dementia and post-diagnostic care people with dementia. Identifying those at high risk one approach to diagnosis. General practitioners (GPs) are well-placed clinicians in community provide both pre- care. However, GPs have past consistently demonstrated low confidence diagnosing providing for these complex patients particularly phase. It currently unclear how future view We aimed evaluate current...
Background Memory problems post-stroke are common and for some, these could then progress to a dementia illness. Once in the community, stroke-survivors looked after by their family doctors although there is evidence that patients may struggle access appropriate help community problems. Although stroke-survivor be physically capable of performing daily tasks, they families have learn manage adapt new memory deficits. There often less focus on cognitive recovery from clinical services perhaps...
