Description

Professor Gail Robinson has developed a new diagnostic tool to assess cognitive function in post-stroke patients called The Brief Executive Language Screening Test (BELS). This brief 20-minute test, can predict how much a stroke patient will recover to function independently in their first year.

In this informative podcast, Professor Robinson discusses:

  • Stroke symptoms and causes
  • Warning signs of a stroke
  • The window that the BELS test can be taken to best inform recovery
  • The typical clinical pathway of a stroke patient
  • Lifestyle factors that can cause a stroke

Warm thanks for producing and sharing such informative podcasts🤞 I have a question on "sleep management for night owls" that I would appreciate if you could address in an episode. I am a night owl, and as a medical student, I need to attend 8 AM classes. However, I am unsure how to adjust my sleep schedule. Could the habit of staying up late innately have negative effects on the brain? How can individuals like me protect their mental and brain health and maintain healthy sleep? Best regards.💗
