We measured stress using both the Perceived Stress Scale and biological markers, and resilience using both the Brief Resilience Scale and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Stroke outcomes were assessed using the Stroke Impact Scale. We found that, compared with age-matched controls, stroke survivors reported greater levels of perceived stress, and lower levels of resilience. In stroke survivors, both perceived stress and resilience were independently associated with stroke outcomes in linear regression models. In particular, these relationships were observed for cognitive outcomes including mood, memory, and communication. The association between stress and stroke outcome did not differ across time post stroke. Given that resilience is a modifiable psychological construct, future research may consider whether strategies directed at enhancing resilience may improve recovery from stroke.

We investigate the correlations of the new index and the existing indices, namely the pulsatility index and the augmentation index, with age, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) blood flow pulsatility index (PIMRI). Notably, the new index showed stronger correlations with CRF (r = −0.79) and PI MRI (r = 0.53) compared with the augmentation index (r = −0.65 with CRF and no significant correlation with PIMRI) and the pulsatility index (no significant correlations with CRF or PIMRI), and a similar correlation with age as the augmentation index. The clearer relationship of the proposed timing index with vascular aging factors underlines its utility as an early indicator of vascular stiffening.]]> Tue 27 Feb 2024 13:54:24 AEDT ]]> An altered glial phenotype in the NL3R451C mouse model of autism https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:49605 Tue 23 May 2023 16:01:03 AEST ]]> Evaluation of an App-Delivered Psychological Flexibility Skill Training Intervention for Medical Student Burnout and Well-being: Randomized Controlled Trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52391 Tue 10 Oct 2023 14:47:07 AEDT ]]> TACTICS VR Stroke Telehealth virtual reality training for health care professionals involved in stroke management at telestroke spoke hospitals: Module design and implementation study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:55267 Tue 07 May 2024 10:59:54 AEST ]]> Improving patient outcomes following total knee arthroplasty: identifying rehabilitation pathways based on modifiable psychological risk and resilience factors https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:39917 Thu 30 Jun 2022 11:48:31 AEST ]]> Direct comparison of virtual reality and 2D delivery on sense of presence, emotional and physiological outcome measures https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54004 Thu 25 Jan 2024 13:52:41 AEDT ]]> Growth hormone deficiency is frequent after recent stroke https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:33725 Thu 13 Jan 2022 10:30:08 AEDT ]]> Endotoxin exposure in early life alters the development of anxiety-like behaviour in the Fischer 344 rat https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:1830 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:31:24 AEDT ]]> Chronic stress induces prolonged suppression of the P2X7 receptor within multiple regions of the hippocampus: a cumulative threshold spectra analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:20933 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:05 AEDT ]]> A critical review of the mechanism of action for the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors: do these drugs possess anti-inflammatory properties and how relevant is this in the treatment of depression? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:19925 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:47 AEDT ]]> Acute and chronic stress-induced disturbances of microglial plasticity, phenotype and function https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:19926 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:47 AEDT ]]> Autoantibodies and depression: evidence for a causal link? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:20858 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:51 AEDT ]]> Prior voluntary wheel running attenuates neuropathic pain https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:25827 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:39 AEDT ]]> Alteration of transcriptional networks in the entorhinal cortex after maternal immune activation and adolescent cannabinoid exposure https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:30081 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:17 AEDT ]]> Chronic stress-induced changes in microglia in determining vulnerability to mood disorders https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:29939 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:00 AEDT ]]> Cognitive deficits develop 1 month after diffuse brain injury and are exaggerated by microglia-associated reactivity to peripheral immune challenge https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:24405 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:14:23 AEDT ]]> A comparison of signal processing techniques for Intrinsic Optical Signal imaging in mice https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:23195 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:10:26 AEDT ]]> Evaluation of a Virtual Reality Platform to Train Stress Management Skills for a Defense Workforce: Multisite, Mixed Methods Feasibility Study. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54023 Mon 29 Jan 2024 13:35:42 AEDT ]]> Is stroke a neurodegenerative condition? a critical review of secondary neurodegeneration and amyloid-beta accumulation after stroke https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:31937 stroke may induce a neurodegenerative condition. Certainly, this is supported to some degree by the relatively high incidence of dementia after stroke. We begin this review by addressing the available research on human and rodent SND pathology after stroke. We next consider amyloid-β in the context of SND. We discuss what amyloid-β is, how is it made, and introduce some caveats on how amyloid-β measurements should be interpreted. In summary, we conclude that there is now robust pre-clinical evidence demonstrating the presence of amyloid disturbances at sites of SND after stroke. We find, however, that the human literature on the topic is more limited and further work is warranted. While the understanding of amyloid disturbances remains inconclusive in human studies, stroke clearly lead to the development of a neurodegenerative-like condition at the sites of SND, with prominent features such as death of neurons and gliosis]]> Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:48:18 AEST ]]> A dynamic model of brain hemodynamics in near-infrared spectroscopy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:37633 Mon 20 Nov 2023 15:47:52 AEDT ]]> Medical Student Experiences of Engaging in a Psychological Flexibility Skill Training App for Burnout and Well-being: Pilot Feasibility Study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53248 Mon 20 Nov 2023 10:15:18 AEDT ]]> Unraveling the Physiological Correlates of Mental Workload Variations in Tracking and Collision Prediction Tasks https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50956 Mon 14 Aug 2023 14:42:55 AEST ]]> Comparing approaches for selection, development, and deployment of extended reality (XR) teaching applications: A case study at The University of Newcastle Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50830 Fri 18 Aug 2023 10:56:01 AEST ]]> Impact assessment of the Centre for Research Excellence in Stroke Rehabilitation and Brain Recovery https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53133 Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:23:28 AEDT ]]> Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Welfare of Animals in Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:41740 Fri 12 Aug 2022 11:07:24 AEST ]]> Effects of Multimodal Physical and Cognitive Fitness Training on Sustaining Mental Health and Job Readiness in a Military Cohort https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53513 Fri 01 Dec 2023 10:58:58 AEDT ]]>
