🤖✨ Incredible strides are being made in neurosurgery as we head into 2025 - XCath are currently developing a groundbreaking robot-assisted approach to treating cerebral aneurysms to bring a level of superhuman precision to delicate brain procedures that was previously impossible.
By using robotic guidance, the system allows for smoother navigation through the brain's complex blood vessels, making treatments safer and potentially allowing even more physicians to perform these life-saving interventions in hospitals everywhere. 🏥💡
So, what exactly is a cerebral aneurysm and why is this robotic advance so vital? A cerebral aneurysm is essentially a weak or thin spot on a blood vessel in the brain that balloons out and fills with blood. The real danger lies in the fact that these 'bulges' can put pressure on nerves or brain tissue, but even more seriously, they can leak or rupture.
When an aneurysm bursts, it causes a specific and very dangerous type of stroke known as a Subarachnoid Haemorrhage (SAH). Dr Tom himself of ARNI had one of these, This is where blood leaks into the space surrounding the brain, which can lead to permanent brain damage or be life-threatening if not treated with extreme speed and accuracy. In fact the stats are that 509% of people with SAH die and the rest suffer serious sequalae, like residual paralysis. 🩸🚑
The beauty of the XCath robotic system is that it helps surgeons treat these aneurysms before they have a chance to rupture, or helps them repair the damage with incredible stability if an SAH has already occurred. By enhancing the precision of how stents or coils are placed to block off the aneurysm, the robot reduces the margin for error in these high-stakes procedures.
ARNI Stroke Rehab UK says that this innovation significantly lowers the risks associated with traditional manual surgery 🙏💪💙

Sleep helps improve recovery after stroke by turning the short-term memories from the day’s rehab exercises into long-term memories.
If you fail to give your body the rest it needs, then your progress can go backward.
So make sure you get some ZZZs!

Incredible news is coming out of Elgin as Dr Gray’s Hospital begins trialling a pioneering genetic testing device that's good news for stroke survivors: this cutting-edge technology has the potential to significantly reduce the risk of a patient suffering a second stroke by ensuring they are on the right medication from the very start 💙
About nine out of ten strokes are caused by blood clots. With this type of stroke the most prescribed drug is called Clopid ogrel. But blood thinners doesn't work for everyone because some people have a specific genetic variation that makes them resistant to the treatment.
In the past, finding out if a patient was resistant could take days or even weeks while waiting for lab results, but thanks to this new device, the team (pictured) at Dr Gray’s can now get an answer in just 70 minutes!
This rapid turnaround means that doctors can immediately switch a patient to an alternative, more effective medication if they show signs of resistance, providing them with the best possible protection during that critical early recovery phase. 🏥⏱️
This trial is about a move away from a one-size-fits-all approach and instead, tailoring treatment to a patient's unique genetic makeup. By identifying the right drug in just over an hour, the hospital is drastically improving the safety and peace of mind for survivors who are at their most vulnerable. 🙏💪💙

I'd be happy to volunteer for future trial. I'm on clopidragel following ischaemic stroke on 7-09-25.
Wow! I'm on clopidragel.... Nobody has checked to see if I'm resistant? I was ischaemic....I only got a heart tracing over 72hrs to check for irregular heart beat on it..... All these things I don't know nor do we get told?!
What's the perfect present for a stroke survivor?
An ARNI online video. Or maybe the whole set?
And with online streaming you don't even need to wait for them to be delivered.

A habit is something that you do with little effort because you’ve done it hundreds of times before. Repetitive action creates strong pathways in the brain for that specific habit, which is why habits eventually become “mindless.”
In contrast to this, a stroke can mean that someone has to exert more effort to perform activities of daily living, such as getting dressed. That’s because the stroke damaged the strong neural pathways that once controlled those skills.
Luckily, the brain can rewire itself to rebuild those neural pathways again. As with all habits, you won’t see results without consistent effort; repeated on a regular basis.
if you want help to develop good habits (that help with your recovery) then call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com. We have trainers throughout the country who can help you.

THE LATEST STROKE RECOVERY NEWS INCL. Flashing Lights for Future Function: The Latest in Neuro-Tech -
Only one kind ARNI Stroke Rehab Facebook friend so far has actually donated to ARNI Stroke Rehab Charity but we REALLY need your help. We rely purely on kind donations... thank you so much! Happy Christmas from Dr Tom Balchin and staff at ARNI! PLEASE DONATE VIA PAYPAL BUTTON AT arni.uk.com/support-us/
PLEASE HELP OUR STROKE CHARITY AND DONATE VIA PAYPAL BUTTON AT arni.uk.com/support-us/ THANK YOU
Have donated - wonderful charity 💕
I have definitely enjoyed them and thank you very much for all you do. I have donated and saw that I can set up a regular donation too which I will look at in the new year x
Made a donation. Having had 2 strokes this year I know how important this work is. Thank you.
Approximately 40% of stroke survivors experience this difficulty: to comprehend or produce spoken or written language caused by a cerebrovascular accident. In half of these cases the language impairment still persists one year post-stroke. Aphasia has wide-ranging effects on the ability to function and quality of life of stroke survivors and easily leads to social isolation.
If you need help, ARNI SLT Telerehab can now help YOU, right now, wherever you are in the world!
The latest evidence shows clearly that you can conquer aphasia very successfully with the help of speech and language therapy.
And it also shows that SLT Telerehab is just as effective as in-person, face to face treatment.
We have a team of highly experienced low-cost specialist SLTs (all post-grads from Universities such as UCL, the University of Cape Town etc) who are available to help you right now, in your home, via Zoom. You get a one to one hourly service, based around your diary needs, from the comfort of your own home, with a highly experienced specialist speech and language therapist. Please enquire to arni.uk.com/get-remote-speech-language-help-now/ !
