This week’s research wrap-up: Stroke papers from the Florey last week
 |
| One of our researchers' papers compared dabigatran to aspirin after embolic stroke of unknown source. |
Our researchers at the Florey have been busy working away to better understand stroke, and improve both acute stroke treatments and long-term stroke rehabilitation and recovery.
Here’s some of their
research that was published last week:
· The RE-SPECT ESUS study with Prof Vincent Thijs: dabigatran was
found to be no better than aspirin to prevent stroke in someone who has already
had an embolic stroke of unknown origin. Read more in the New England Journal
of Medicine.
· Stroke123 with Prof Dominique Cadilhac, Prof Geoff Donnan, and Dr Monique Kilkenny: Financial incentives, workshops, and other
quality improvement interventions were found to improve stroke care. The study
used data from the Australian Stroke
Clinical Registry.

· A nurse-initiated intervention with Prof Dominique Cadilhac. The
intervention, which has previously had success in stroke units was trialled in
emergency departments, was found not to affect patient outcomes or clinician
behaviour. Read more in Stroke.
· Second Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation
Roundtable with Prof Julie Bernhardt, Dr
Karen Borschmann, and Dr Kate
Hayward: Last year’s roundtable set 4 major goals to accelerate development
and implementation of breakthrough treatments for stroke recovery. Read more
about them, and how we can attain them, in the International Journal of
Stroke.
· Framingham Study with Dr Matthew Pase: Rates
of ischaemic stroke declined over time, especially in older adults. Read more
in Stroke.
· Researchers
from the Dementia theme at the Florey found larger choroid plexus volumes in
the brain in the chronic stages of stroke. Read more in the International Journal of Stroke.
· An
international team with Dr Kate Hayward quantified upper limb use after stroke during
inpatient rehabilitation. Read more in Physiotherapy Research
International.
