background: we aimed to research the value of extended nursing for cerebral stroke patients within a suitable recovery empty period. methods: seventy-two cerebral stroke patients were randomized to a control group or treatment group at the recovery period at xuzhou recovery hospital, china in 2016. a recovery guidance exercise was applied to the control group for a set time, while a recovery gu...

Heart Failure and Functional Recovery Heart failure is a leading cause of healthcare expenditures, hospitalization, and mortality in developed countries, and its burden is growing globally. With the aging of the population and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity, the current heart failure epidemic is guaranteed to significantly worse...

Assessing neurobiology of brain systems can provide information not available from anatomic or behavioral assessment. Such information may be of value in understanding, defining, and prescribing potential therapeutic interventions that target restorative brain events after stroke. A number of methods have been used to study stroke recovery, each with its relative merits and limitations. Several...

Ischemic myocardium undergoes many physiologic changes, including alterations in contractile function, histologic condition, and oxygen utilization. Reperfusion of ischemic myocardium may reverse some of these changes; however, the level of reperfusion needed for adequate functional recovery, as opposed to myocyte salvage, remains controversial. This study examines the effects of varying levels...

on chromosome Xp2 1. Rowland's chapter provides an exciting introduction to what proves to be a disappointing volume. Many of the chapters which review current advances in a particular disease are too brief and not well written. For example, a chapter on the construction of a complete restriction map of human chromosome 19 describes, in less than three pages, the strategy used to accomplish suc...

background: effects of platelet-derived growth factor b (pdgf-b) on peripheral nerve regeneration was studied using a rat sciatic nerve transection model. materials and methods: forty‑five male, white wistar rats were divided into three experimental groups (n = 15), randomly: normal control group (nc), silicon group (sil), and pdgf‑b treated group (sil/pdgf). in nc group, left sciatic nerve was...

Functional recovery, the goal of treatment, has long been overlooked in the assessment of effectiveness of pharmacological treatments. However, with the recent shift in paradigm, from syndromal-symptomatic recovery to functional recovery, there appears to be a new interest in the definition and evaluation of functional recovery. Since functional recovery lags symptomatic recovery, sometimes by ...
