This evening on Medical Medical we talk about World Stroke Day. World Stroke Day is observed on October 29 every year. The day tries to raise awareness about the prevention and timely treatment of a stroke. When the brain's blood supply is cut off, a stroke occurs. A blood clot or blocked artery is the cause of this in roughly 80% of instances. Strokes can also occur when a blood vessel is injured. To learn more about the symptoms and causes of this delibitating disease, we're joined by Dr Nkateko Msimeki, General Manager: Health Policy & Medical Advisory at AfroCentric Group.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A stroke is a severe and sudden medical condition that can have profound consequences for survivors and families. Rapid treatment, as well as proper stroke rehabilitation can help one recover from a stroke, and regain independence and quality of life. Knowing what to expect in stroke rehab, and empowering caregivers to seek support, is key to successful rehabilitation and recovery. We look at these issues with consultant rehabilitation physician, Dr Intan Sabrina, to commemorate World Stroke Day on 29 October.Image Credit: Shutterstock

World Stroke Day is an opportunity to raise awareness of the serious nature and high rates of stroke and talk about ways in which we can reduce the burden of stroke through better public awareness of the risk factors and signs of stroke. It is also an opportunity to advocate for action by decision-makers at global, regional, and national levels that are essential to improve stroke prevention, access to acute treatment and support for survivors and caregivers. GET AHEAD OF STROKE was founded in 2016 by the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS), today the campaign is supported by a coalition of organizations with the goal of securing the best possible outcomes for stroke patients by driving policy change and public awareness nationwide. Every 40 seconds…someone in the U.S. has a stroke. GET AHEAD OF STROKE is a national public education and advocacy campaign designed to improve systems of care for stroke patients. About Dr. Steven Hetts Steven Hetts, MD is Chief of Interventional Neuroradiology at the UCSF Mission Bay Hospitals, where he provides cutting-edge, minimally invasive endovascular therapy for children and adults with stroke, cerebrovascular disease and tumors, including retinoblastoma. He founded the Interventional Neuroradiology services at San Francisco General Hospital and the San Francisco Veteran's Administration Hospital, where he served as Chief until 2015. Throughout his career, Dr. Hetts has maintained an active clinical practice at UCSF Parnassus, treating patients with stroke, brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, dural arteriovenous fistulas, spinal vascular malformations, and tumors including meningioma. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tntbsmedia/message

When someone has a stroke, every second is crucial. The longer it takes to receive treatment, the more likely it is that damage to the brain will occur. "The mantra is 'time is brain,'" explains Dr. James Meschia, a Mayo Clinic neurologist and stroke expert. "The sooner they get treatment, the better patients do."World Stroke Day is recognized each year on Oct. 29. The aim is to teach the public about stroke risk factors and stroke prevention, and to raise awareness about the warning signs of stroke so people recognize when a loved one may be having a stroke and can take action.To recognize the warning signs of stroke, Dr. Meschia says remember the acronym, BE FAST: B stands for balance. Watch for the sudden loss of balance. E stands for eyes. Vision loss in one or both eyes is a warning sign.  F stands for face. Facial droop or if the face looks uneven is a sign of stroke. A stands for arm, but it can be sudden weakness of an arm or leg. S stands for speech, including trouble speaking, slurring words or difficulty understanding speech. T stands for time. This represents both noting the time the symptoms occur and reducing the time it takes to receive medical care by calling 911. There are two main types of strokes: ischemic and hemorrhagic. An ischemic stroke happens when there is a loss of blood supply to an area of the brain. A hemorrhagic stroke happens when there is bleeding into the brain when a blood vessel ruptures. Eighty-five percent of all strokes are ischemic.Globally, 1 in 4 adults over 25 will have a stroke in their lifetime, according to the World Stroke Organization. More than 110 million people in the world have experienced stroke, but thanks to the development of clot-busting drugs and procedures to remove clots using a catheter, outcomes for people who have a stroke are improving."The first big treatment revolution happened in the 1990s. And in 1995 we finally closed in on a dose and a time window to give a clot-busting drug known as tissue plasminogen activator or, tPA," says Dr. Meschia. "Then in 2015, the added benefits of mechanical thrombectomy were clearly established. That is where a catheter is inserted, and, under guidance by an X-ray camera, the tip of the catheter is positioned in or near the clot and the clot pulled out. So used in combination or by themselves, thrombolysis and thrombectomy have been major advances in the therapy."After emergency treatment, most stroke survivors go through a rehabilitation program. Stroke care focuses on helping people recover as much function as possible, with the goal of returning to independent living. The impact of the stroke depends on the area of the brain involved and the amount of tissue damaged.If the stroke affected the right side of the brain, movement and sensation on the left side of the body may be affected. If the stroke affected the left side of the brain, movement and sensation on the right side of the body may be affected. Brain damage to the left side of the brain may also cause speech and language disorders.Dr. Meschia encourages stroke victims to realize that the effects of a stroke are worse at the beginning, and that there is hope for rehabilitation."One of the important points with stroke is that it is sudden in onset, and often maximally severe at onset," says Dr. Meschia. "There are some exceptions, but I would say about 9 out of 10 are maximally severe at onset. And then, over the course of one to three months with appropriate rehabilitation — be it speech, physical or occupational therapy, or a combination thereof — patients do rally and improve significantly. And it is one of the things to be aware of because sometimes patients and families can feel like giving up. I think that would be tragic because, at least in the short term, the prognosis is favorable for some level of recovery."Many strokes can be prevented in the first place by minimizing risk factors. Maintaining a healthy body weight, staying physically active and controlling blood pressure reduce the risk of stroke. Other stroke prevention steps include stopping smoking, eating a healthy diet and managing blood sugar levels. On the Q&A podcast, Dr. Meschia discusses stroke prevention, the warning signs of stroke and the latest in stroke treatments. 

Lisa is joined by Steven Hetts, MD to talk about Strokes for World Stroke Day on October 29th.Steven Hetts, MD is Chief of Interventional Neuroradiology at the UCSF Mission Bay Hospitals, where he provides cutting-edge, minimally invasive endovascular therapy for children and adults with stroke, cerebrovascular disease and tumors, including retinoblastoma. He founded the Interventional Neuroradiology services at San Francisco General Hospital and the San Francisco Veteran's Administration Hospital, where he served as Chief until 2015.

Dr. Hetts is also the founding Co-Director of the UCSF Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia Center of Excellence wherein he and his colleagues provide care for patients with vascular malformations of the brain, severe nosebleeds (epistaxis), and arteriovenous malformations of the lung and other organs. Dr. Hetts received his MD from Harvard Medical School and his undergraduate degree from Harvard College. He completed his medical internship at Stanford and his diagnostic radiology residency, diagnostic neuroradiology fellowship, and interventional neuroradiology fellowship at UCSF, where he joined the faculty in 2008.A patient's access to appropriate care in a timely manner can make a huge difference in his or her outcomes. According to a 2017 study by the American Academy of Neurology, severe stroke patients gain a week of healthy life for every minute that is saved in getting them to appropriate care.Stroke costs in the U.S. are currently estimated at about $46 billion. The minimally invasive nature of thrombectomy helps stroke patients get back on their feet so they are able to live independently and work again.Nearly 2 million brain cells die every minute a stroke goes untreated. For the best possible outcome, a stroke patient ideally needs to receive a thrombectomy within 24 hours.Patients who need emergency care deserve the best care possible, whether it is for trauma or stroke.Thousands of lives could be saved every year in the state, but that will only happen if people pick up the phone and call 911. People need to know how to act FAST, so they can help themselves or their loved ones survive stroke. FAST- Facial drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulties, Time to call EMS.Like trauma, stroke is time-sensitive and requires first responders to determine stroke severity. Unlike trauma, most states do not have requirements for first responders to take severe stroke patients to a facility specially equipped to treat them. Do stroke patients deserve less than trauma patients?Every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a stroke. Nearly 20% — 140,000 annually — die from their condition, and many more are left permanently disabled. Physicians from the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS), the sponsoring organization for the GAOS coalition, say that if the nation's stroke system of care looked more like our trauma triage system, patients would experience less disability, and more would survive.  Sign up for our email list at GetAheadofStroke.org and search hashtag #SurviveStroke or #StrokeAwarenessMonth on social media to learn how the campaign is helping to improve stroke care across the country. Currently, most states do not have clear protocols to ensure a person who is having a severe stroke is transported directly to a Level 1 stroke center, where they would have access to a specially trained neuroendovascular care team that can help them 24/7/365.

When somebody has a stroke, every second that goes by is crucial. As brain tissue and millions of neurons begin to fade away, time could not be more precious. Our #Precioustime campaign aims to raise awareness of stroke signs and the benefits of timely access to emergency medical care. Oh and Stanley Roberts knows this so well because in 2015 at 8am he suffered a stroke.

Have you helped an adult child buy a home by giving them a large cash gift? With housing prices through the roof, two thirds of first time buyers say the Bank of Mom and Dad was the main source of their down payment. And according to a new report from CIBC , Canadian parents kicked in a total of $10 billion last year - with the average gift here in Toronto topping $130,000. Libby Znaimer talked with CIBC economist Benjamin Tal for the story behind these numbers. AND Like every other medical procedure, the treatment for stroke was set back because of the pandemic with many patients waiting too long to go to the hospital. This week marked World Stroke Day - a good time to go over the signs, symptoms and most of all the timeline for ensuring a good recovery. Libbt talked with Dr. Atif Zafar, Director of the Comprehensive Stroke Program at St. Michael

Today we are talking about stroke. It was World Stroke day and when we think of the word stroke we are told to think F.A.S.T about stroke.

As stroke survivors, we have to find the #StrokePerks where we can. My GF recently hurt her ankle on the way to work. Fortunately, I have an assortment of canes that she can choose from to get around the apartment safely while she recovers. Keep Trying Getting from the car to the apartment, though, meant she had to use the can I had brought with me. Fortunately, I was able to walk a bit without it. As I walked down the hall, I reflected on my early days of recovery. I spent time going up and down that same hall with Elissa, my PT from Rehab Without Walls. It took a lot longer to cover that distance back then. And trying it without the can worked for only a few feet. Even a year ago, it took longer. Today, I need the cane to walk longer, faster, safer, with a better gait, and with less fatigue. The point is that I continue to get better. It's just a little bit at a time. And sometimes it's hard to notice. But it's happening. 28 months later. Anyone who tells you recovery stops at 6 months or 12 months is WRONG. That's utter nonsense. Recovery may be fastest early on, but recovery continues for years. But you cannot get better if you don't do the work or if you don't believe you can. The right, action-oriented attitude is essential to long term continued recovery. Focus on getting just a little bit better every day. Walking Predicts Return to Work A study recently published in the AHA Journal reports that post-stroke walking speed is an accurate indicator of whether a survivor will return to work: This study is the first to capture walking performance parameters of young adults who have had a stroke and identifies slower and less efficient walking. Walking speed emerged as the strongest predictor for return to employment. It is recommended that walking speed be used as a simple but sensitive clinical indicator of functional performance to guide rehabilitation and inform readiness for return to work post-stroke. You can read the full details here https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1161/STROKEAHA.119.025614 It's an interesting article, and the story has been popping up in various news feeds that I follow. I'm not sure how actionable this is, though. First, it doesn't appear to draw a distinction between knowledge work and physical work. It also doesn't appear to address the concerns of stroke survivors living with aphasia or other cognitive challenges who have no trouble walking. Really what they seem to be looking at is the cognitive load involved in walking and extrapolating from there. So this may be slightly useful early indicator in the early post stroke days, but when reading articles like this, there are a few things to keep in mind: Correlation does not equal causation. Headlines do not tell the whole story. Look at this stuff critically. Nuance does not fit nicely into bullet points. Eat More Bananas! A new study says eating more bananas will prevent stroke! Actually, it doesn't say that. But that's a headline you are likely to see. A study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham demonstrated that a lack of dietary potassium in mice led to hardening and calcification of arteries. Such damage to the arteries in humans can lead to stroke and heart disease. Here's what the article says: University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers have shown, for the first time, that reduced dietary potassium promotes elevated aortic stiffness in a mouse model, as compared with normal-potassium-fed mice. Such arterial stiffness in humans is predictive of heart disease and death from heart disease, and it represents an important health problem for the nation as a whole. The UAB researchers also found that increased dietary potassium levels lessened vascular calcification and aortic stiffness. Furthermore, they unraveled the molecular mechanism underlying the effects of low or high dietary potassium. So how do we get to the conclusion? We assume the mice model applies to humans. We assume we can get more dietary potassium by eating more bananas. We assume that more dietary potassium in humans results in less hardening of the arteries. We assume that less hardening of the arteries will lead to reduced risk of stroke in humans. Therefore eating more bananas leads to fewer strokes. Those facts may all be independently true. But at any point, that chain could break down and the results would not follow. So what do you do with this information? As a researcher, you might try more direct research to get to fewer links in the chain. As a consumer, look at what you can learn from. What is the benefit and risk of adopting this behavior? In this case: Bananas are tasty. Bananas are cheap. Bananas have minimal to no health risks for most people. Bananas may increase dietary potassium and that may reduce the risk of stroke. And have I mentioned that bananas are tasty? So eat more bananas. And have I mentioned you can eel them with one hand? #WeSpeakUpAgainstStroke For World Stroke Day, Joe Borges (@JoseSoRocks) and Nefre (@StrokeLifeAlive) are doing a campaign to raise awareness.

  2-Minute Tip: Take a Beat   Have you ever noticed that a speaker will step up to their speaking spot (fancy technical term there), look down, then up, scan the room silently, and then start speaking? They're taking a moment to prep themselves for the talk they are about to deliver. While that whole ritual may be a little much, there is value in taking a moment to take a breath and plant your feet before speaking.   It gives you the opportunity to shift from prep mode into speaking mode. When you are prepping for a talk, you are reviewing what you want to say, making last minute adjustments based on the audience, double-checking your gear, reviewing site lines, going through sound check, turning off your phone, emptying your pockets and more. When it's time to speak, prep time is over. You have to put aside all the to do items of prep and now let their value come through. It's time to focus on delivering your message.   Taking a moment at the very start to clear your head and change your thinking allows you to do that.   You don't have to do it literally on the stage. You can take your beat in the wings just before you go on stage. Make your walk to your speaking spot part of your presentation. Be in speaking mode the moment you come out.   Regardless of exactly where you do it, take that deep breath and take that moment because now it's showtime.   Post Tip Discussion: Tips on Apologies   Sometimes an apology is all it takes to fix a problem. Many times, someone who has been wronged simply wants the transgressor to acknowledge they were wrong and validate the reality of a situation.   Too often, though, we apologize ineffectively or inappropriately and we do so from the stage. To be a more effective speaker, consider these 5 tips to apologize from stage:   Don't say, "I'm sorry." Say, "I apologize." Be sure you actually need to apologize. If the audience doesn't know something went wrong and they got a less than perfect experience, don't break their illusion by apologizing. An apology-nerves spiral can be painful. Avoid apologizing frequently from stage. Substitute the word "and" for the word "but" whenever possible.   Links   VO Boss Podcast https://voboss.com/ VO Boss SorryNotSorry https://voboss.com/episode-56-boss-mindset-sorry-not-sorry/ Manager Tools Podcast https://www.manager-tools.com/   Call To Action   I recorded this on World Stroke Day.

NNI’s Assoc Prof Chang Hui Meng explains how to identify stroke signs and what’s essential in recovery.

Today is World Stroke Day. So why is there a day dedicated to strokes? And what should you know so you can recognise a stroke in yourself or others? Let’s find out from Stroke Foundation Queensland State Manager Andrea Sanders, who's speaking with Didier Kay:

In this week’s episode Amanda and Kelly discuss all things stroke related. World Stroke Day is coming up on Monday, October 29th so the ladies wanted to celebrate by sharing their knowledge on stroke. #UpAgainAfterStroke   

Upcoming Events This fall, the American Heart Association is running fundraisers around the country in the form of local Heart & Stroke Walks. To learn more or find an event in your area, visit HeartWalk.org. If your local one has already passed, you can start planning for 2019! Monday, October 29, 2018, is World Stroke Day. What are you doing to recognize the event? I'd love to hear. Post a message on the Strokecast Facebook Page, send me an email,  or reach out to me on Twitter. Today's Guest I met Lauren Sheehan through Olivia, the awesome OT who co-starred with me in an ad for Swedish. Swedish had recently acquired a Rapael Smart Glove to work with patients and wanted to get my thoughts. I met Lauren a few weeks later to talk more about her work and the possibilities of Neofect's tool. Neofect did send me a unit to try out and provide feedback on. So far, it's promising. I'll provide a more thorough review once I really put it through its paces. This week, I interview Lauren. We talk about why she got into OT, the idea of the "art" of life, and the nature of gamification in therapy. One of the key takeaways from Lauren's story is how she came to work with Neofect -- building relationships and talking with folks. The more folks you can engage with on a regular basis -- online or in the real world -- the more opportunities that become available to you. Maintaining those relationships doesn't need to be about what they can do for you though; it's about keeping interesting people in your life. Because I maintained a good relationship with my inpatient therapy team, I met and got to work with Lauren, for example. That wasn't a plan. It was the out growth of life. Plus, staying engaged in a social life is good for brain health. So who is Lauren Sheehan? Lauren has been a practicing occupational therapist for over 10 years.  Her dream to join a technology company was realized when dreaming about the possibility of doing something “outside the box” after spending the last decade in outpatient neuro clinical practice and most recently in administration and management roles.  Lauren has served in various roles on her state occupational therapy associations and is a proponent of being an active member, particularly in advocating for occupational therapy through legislation and contact with elected officials.  She has enjoyed planning and organizing Washington state’s “Hike the Hill” event for the last three years.  She has also served as the AOTA Representative Assembly Member for the state of Washington.  Lauren believes that OT professionals are poised to be product designers, user experience experts and consultants as it relates to technology solutions that meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. Neofect offers a 7-day trial of the Rapael Smart Glove. If you're interested in checking it out, visit Neofect.com. Insurance may or may not cover the device; that will vary by company, policy, and more. They have had good luck with the VA. Neofect is also launching a Kickstarter for a new product on October 30, the day after World Stroke Day.   Hack of the week: Wear an apron I've started wearing a kitchen apron around the house because it has big pockets. Carrying stuff is a challenge these days. With hemiparesis, I lost access to the pockets on the left side of my body. Plus, my working hand needs to hold the cane, handrails, phone, or other stuff as I go room to room. An apron with big front pockets is a great solution for hauling more stuff around with me. And tying the apron strings is great OT.

When someone has a stroke, every second is crucial. The longer it takes to receive treatment, the more likely it is that damage to the brain will occur. "The mantra is 'time is brain,'" explains Dr. James Meschia, a Mayo Clinic neurologist and stroke expert. "The sooner they get treatment, the better patients do."World Stroke Day is recognized each year on Oct. 29. The aim is to teach the public about stroke risk factors and stroke prevention, and to raise awareness about the warning signs of stroke so people recognize when a loved one may be having a stroke and can take action.To recognize the warning signs of stroke, Dr. Meschia says remember the acronym, BE FAST: B stands for balance. Watch for the sudden loss of balance. E stands for eyes. Vision loss in one or both eyes is a warning sign.  F stands for face. Facial droop or if the face looks uneven is a sign of stroke. A stands for arm, but it can be sudden weakness of an arm or leg. S stands for speech, including trouble speaking, slurring words or difficulty understanding speech. T stands for time. This represents both noting the time the symptoms occur and reducing the time it takes to receive medical care by calling 911. There are two main types of strokes: ischemic and hemorrhagic. An ischemic stroke happens when there is a loss of blood supply to an area of the brain. A hemorrhagic stroke happens when there is bleeding into the brain when a blood vessel ruptures. Eighty-five percent of all strokes are ischemic.Globally, 1 in 4 adults over 25 will have a stroke in their lifetime, according to the World Stroke Organization. More than 110 million people in the world have experienced stroke, but thanks to the development of clot-busting drugs and procedures to remove clots using a catheter, outcomes for people who have a stroke are improving."The first big treatment revolution happened in the 1990s. And in 1995 we finally closed in on a dose and a time window to give a clot-busting drug known as tissue plasminogen activator or, tPA," says Dr. Meschia. "Then in 2015, the added benefits of mechanical thrombectomy were clearly established. That is where a catheter is inserted, and, under guidance by an X-ray camera, the tip of the catheter is positioned in or near the clot and the clot pulled out. So used in combination or by themselves, thrombolysis and thrombectomy have been major advances in the therapy."After emergency treatment, most stroke survivors go through a rehabilitation program. Stroke care focuses on helping people recover as much function as possible, with the goal of returning to independent living. The impact of the stroke depends on the area of the brain involved and the amount of tissue damaged.If the stroke affected the right side of the brain, movement and sensation on the left side of the body may be affected. If the stroke affected the left side of the brain, movement and sensation on the right side of the body may be affected. Brain damage to the left side of the brain may also cause speech and language disorders.Dr. Meschia encourages stroke victims to realize that the effects of a stroke are worse at the beginning, and that there is hope for rehabilitation."One of the important points with stroke is that it is sudden in onset, and often maximally severe at onset," says Dr. Meschia. "There are some exceptions, but I would say about 9 out of 10 are maximally severe at onset. And then, over the course of one to three months with appropriate rehabilitation — be it speech, physical or occupational therapy, or a combination thereof — patients do rally and improve significantly. And it is one of the things to be aware of because sometimes patients and families can feel like giving up. I think that would be tragic because, at least in the short term, the prognosis is favorable for some level of recovery."Many strokes can be prevented in the first place by minimizing risk factors. Maintaining a healthy body weight, staying physically active and controlling blood pressure reduce the risk of stroke. Other stroke prevention steps include stopping smoking, eating a healthy diet and managing blood sugar levels. On the Q&A podcast, Dr. Meschia discusses stroke prevention, the warning signs of stroke and the latest in stroke treatments.  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
