Do people with aphasia want written stroke and aphasia information?
Despite reading and language difficulties, participants considered written information to be important, hence people with aphasia should receive written information about both stroke and aphasia. This information should be easily accessible throughout the continuum of care.
In this study, we have, for the first time, demonstrated that SCI per se is associated with a low-grade chronic inflammatory state and endothelial activation, which may partly explain the increased atherogenic risk in patients with long-standing SCI.
