“…Clinical reports vary markedly in description of sustained anxiety disorders in SAH patients, with incidence estimates ranging from 0 to 40 % [30][31][32][33]. While the wide range in anxiety disorder prevalence may be due to methods of assessing anxiety and patient age [34], preclinical data from this study and other reports indicate that both severity and location of hemorrhage also may be contributory.…”

Background Cognitive dysfunction can be a long-term complication following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Preclinical models have been variously characterized to emulate this disorder. This study was designed to directly compare long-term cognitive deficits in the context of similar levels of insult severity in the cisterna magna double-blood (DB) injection versus prechiasmatic blood (PB) injection SAH models. Methods Pilot work identified blood injectate volumes necessary to provide similar mortality rates (20-25 %). Rats were then randomly assigned to DB or PB insults. Saline injection and naïve rats were used as controls. Functional and cognitive outcome was assessed over 35 days. Results DB and PB caused similar transient rotarod deficits. PB rats exhibited decreased anxiety behavior on the elevated plus maze, while anxiety was increased in DB. DB and PB caused differential deficits in the novel object recognition and novel object location tasks. Morris water maze performance was similarly altered in both models (decreased escape latency and increased swimming speed). SAH caused histologic damage in the medial prefrontal cortex, perirhinal cortex, and hippocampal CA1, although severity of injury in the respective regions differed between DB and PB. Conclusion Both SAH models caused long-term cognitive deficits in the context of similar insult severity. Cognitive deficits differed between the two models, as did distribution of histologic injury. Each model offers unique properties and both models may be useful for study of SAH-induced cognitive deficits.

“…The 6-month mortality rate ranges from 40 to 50 %, and 30 % of survivors harbor permanent neurological impairment [2]. In recent years, research has focused on neuropsychological sequels of aSAH patients [3][4][5][6][7] and on factors related to diminished quality of life in patients with good neurological recovery [8]. Several reports over the last decade have explored the relationship between Susanna Bacigaluppi and Nicola Bragazzi have contributed equally to this work.…”

Background: Stroke is a debilitating neurological disorder, which causes multiple physical and psychosocial challenges to people surviving a stroke. Effective discharge planning program is an active process beginning in hospitalization care and has a goal of returning to the community and aims at assisting the patients to recapture their functional independence and to return to an active and productive lifestyle. Aim: was to evaluate effect of a design discharge planning program for stroke patients on their quality of life and activity of daily living. Research design: Quasi experimental design was utilized to fulfill the aim of this study. Setting: The study was conducted at the stroke department and stroke outpatient clinics affiliated to Benha University Hospital. Sample: A convenience sample of 50 patients admitted at the above mentioned setting and diagnosed with stroke. Tools: Three tools were used: I-Patients Interviewing questionnaire sheet; II-Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale and III-Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living. Results: the present study revealed that (a) the mean total and subtotal knowledge scores of stroke patients were increased immediately after implementing a design discharge planning program with statistical significant difference compared to pre implementation. (b) The mean total and subtotal quality of life scores were higher after implementing discharge planning program with a high statistical significant difference compared to pre implementation. (c) The mean total and subtotal activity of daily living scores were higher after implementing discharge planning program with a high statistical significant difference compared to pre implementation. (d) There were a positive correlation between patients' knowledge, quality of life and activity of daily living with a statistical significant difference. So, all research hypotheses of the study were supported. Conclusion: Applying a design discharge planning program had statistically significant improvement on knowledge, quality of life and activity of daily living for studied patients. Recommendations: replication of this study on a larger probability sample and evaluating its impact on health outcomes among stroke patients.Keywords: design discharge planning program, quality of life, activity of daily living, stroke http://journal.julypress.com/index.php/ijsn Vol. 5, No. 1; 2020 II-Part two: which consisted of (8) questions about patients activities of daily living. It is composed of http://journal.julypress.com/index.php/ijsn Vol. 5, No. 1; 2020 -Patients were informed about the time of the next session at the end of the session.
