Does an early onset and continuous chain of rehabilitation improve the long-term functional outcome of patients with severe traumatic brain injury?
2012
Published version of an article published in the journal: Journal of Neurotrauma. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1089/neu.2011.1811 There are currently no international guidelines regarding treatment in the early rehabilitation phase for persons with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), and only a few studies have investigated the effect of integrating rehabilitation into acute TBI care. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether a continuous chain of rehabilitation that begins with the acute phase could improve the functional outcome of severe TBI patients, compared to a broken chain of rehabilitation that starts in the sub-acute phase of TBI. A total of 61 su…
Fast-Track Surgery and Early Rehabilitation for Total Hip Replacement in Hospital of Traumatology and Orthopaedics
2019
Abstract Due to an ageing population, the necessity for hip replacement has grown, and therefore, new options are being sought, such as the Fast-track principle, to improve patient condition, reduce their hospital stay and enhance the hospital’s ability to treat more patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of same-day patient mobilisation on pain, side effects, complications, duration of hospital stay, and recovery after primary hip replacement, using intermediate-acting local anaesthetics in spinal anaesthesia (SA). A prospective, randomised study was conducted at the Hospital of Traumatology and Orthopaedics. Forty-six patients undergoing total hip replacement were …
Working Memory, Jumping to Conclusions and Emotion Recognition: a Possible Link in First Episode Psychosis (Fep)
2015
Introduction A large body of literature has demonstrated that people affected by psychotic disorders show deficits in working memory, in Emotion Recognition (ER) and in data-gathering to reach a decision (Jumping To Conclusions – JTC). Aims To investigate a possible correlation between working memory, JTC and ER in FEP. Methods 41 patients and 89 healthy controls completed assessments of working memory using WAIS shortened version, JTC using the 60:40 Beads Task and ER using Degraded Facial Affect Recognition Task. Results According to the literature, cases had poorer performance in working memory tasks (Digit Span: μ7,72 [ds=2,98] vs μ10,14 [ds=3,10], U=865,00, p=0,00; Digit Symbol: μ5,36 …
The effect of the thrombolytic therapy on the early rehabilitation of patients with acute ischemic stroke – study report
2020
Introduction. r-TPA intravenous thrombolytic therapy is a big step in acute management of ischemic stroke (IS) but is burdened by a small therapeutic window (max. 4.5 hours) that restricts patient access. NIH stroke scale (NIHSS) is the largest worldwide tool used by doctors in order to objectively quantify the severity of neurological impairment in acute IS, in the initial stage as well as in the subsequent stages. Material and method. The aim of this paper is to present the results of an observational, prospective, analytical study on a number of 110 patients with acute IS, hospitalized within two months in the Neurology Clinic of Sibiu (19 patients with thrombolytic therapy applied, 91 p…
