Do you not understand that prediction crapola like this is useless for survivor recovery? They want rehab protocols that deliver 100% recovery. THAT IS THE ONLY GOAL IN STROKE. When the hell will you get there?
Maybe after you are the 1 in 4 per WHO that has a stroke? Will that finally get you to do your job properly?
Neural Stem Cell Extracellular Vesicles Disrupt Midline Shift Predictive Outcomes in Porcine Ischemic Stroke Model
Abstract
Magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) is a clinically relevant non-invasive imaging
tool commonly utilized to assess stroke progression in real time. This
study investigated the utility of MRI as a predictive measure of
clinical and functional outcomes when a stroke intervention is withheld
or provided, in order to identify biomarkers for stroke functional
outcome under these conditions. Fifteen MRI and ninety functional
parameters were measured in a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)
porcine ischemic stroke model. Multiparametric analysis of correlations
between MRI measurements and functional outcome was conducted. Acute
axial and coronal midline shift (MLS) at 24 h post-stroke were
associated with decreased survival and recovery measured by modified
Rankin scale (mRS) and were significantly correlated with 52 measured
acute (day 1 post) and chronic (day 84 post) gait and behavior
impairments in non-treated stroked animals. These results suggest that
MLS may be an important non-invasive biomarker that can be used to
predict patient outcomes and prognosis as well as guide therapeutic
intervention and rehabilitation in non-treated animals and potentially
human patients that do not receive interventional treatments. Neural
stem cell–derived extracellular vesicle (NSC EV) was a disruptive
therapy because NSC EV administration post-stroke disrupted MLS
correlations observed in non-treated stroked animals. MLS was not
associated with survival and functional outcomes in NSC EV–treated
animals. In contrast to untreated animals, NSC EVs improved stroked
animal outcomes regardless of MLS severity.
