Abstract

Purpose: This study describes the development of a standardized assessment toolkit (SAT) and associated clinical database focusing on sensorimotor rehabilitation in three stroke rehabilitation units (SRUs). Implementation of the SAT was confirmed using objective measures of clinician adherence while exploring reasons for varied adherence. Method: Participants were patients post-stroke admitted for inpatient rehabilitation and clinicians from the three SRUs. A collaborative and iterative process was used to develop the SAT. Implementation was measured by clinician adherence, which was charted by means of assessment entries in patient records and transferred to the clinical database. Reasons for lower adherence were interpreted from therapist data logs at one SRU. Results: The SAT consisted of 25 assessment tools. Clinician adherence to a subset of the tools ranged from 33% to 99% at admission and from 28% to 94% at discharge. At one site, lower adherence among the tools was explained by patient-related factors (1%-36%) and protocol or logistical reasons (0%-7%) at admission; missing data ranged from 0% to 3%, except for the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (17%). Conclusions: In this pragmatic study, objective measures of cl...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
