Peripheral Axonal Excitability In Hemiplegia Related To Subacute Stroke, Zeynep Turan, Murat Zi̇nnuroğlu Jan 2020

Peripheral Axonal Excitability In Hemiplegia Related To Subacute Stroke, Zeynep Turan, Murat Zi̇nnuroğlu

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Background/aim: This study aims to investigate peripheral nerve excitability in patients with subacute stroke. Materials and methods: The study was performed in 29 stroke patients within the subacute period and 29 healthy controls using QTRAC software and TRONDNF protocol. The threshold electrotonus, recovery cycle, stimulus-response, strength-duration, and current-threshold relationships were recorded. Results: The membrane was more hyperpolarized, and excitability was decreased in the hemiplegic side. The impairment of inward rectifying channel function, degree of hyperpolarization, and decrease of excitability were directly related to the Brunnstrom stages, which were more pronounced in lower stages. Conclusion: The lower motor neurons were affected …

Medical Papers and Journal Articles

Asymptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with similar stroke risk as symptomatic AF, yet is often detected only after the patient presents with a devastating stroke. The first Australian guidelines for the screening and management of AF were released in 2018 by the National Heart Foundation of Australia and the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand. This brief, practical summary of the guidelines focuses on screening in general practice.
