A goundbreaking study has just revealed that a new AI imaging tool could revolutionise stroke treatment by helping doctors spot deadly clots in patients more than an hour earlier than our current methods! 🧠
This innovative artificial intelligence technology works by rapidly analysing brain scans and immediately flagging the presence of large vessel occlusions (LVOs); the type of severe blood clots that cause the most debilitating strokes and require urgent removal. The speed at which this AI operates is truly astonishing.
Researchers found that by using this AI assistance, medical teams were able to identify these critical LVOs an average of over an hour earlier in the treatment pathway compared to the standard clinical workflow. 🕒💡 That hour is absolutely vital. It means patients can get to the specialised treatment they need, like mechanical thrombectomy, much faster.
This breakthrough is a massive win for modern medicine and highlights the incredible potential of AI to support our healthcare heroes and ultimately save more lives. It's not about replacing doctors, but giving them significant assistance in critical situations. The future of acute stroke care is looking better and faster every day 🤖🩺💙

Walking is a critical part of any post-stroke strengthening program. It keeps people from being sedentary and keeps muscles active and flexible.
Call us on 0203 053 0111, or email support@arni.uk.com to find out if there's a trainer who can help you with your walking.

A great present for a stroke survivor: ALL 7 ARNI exercise online videos.
Amongst many other things, you will learn from these how to get down and up from the floor, balance, walk and turn without problem, become strong and robust.. and tackle all sorts of activities of daily life that you hadn’t dreamed possible after stroke.

Whiston Hospital's Hyperacute Stroke Unit (HASU) has been officially ranked as the best in the UK! 🏆🏥 The team has achieved top spot in the latest national SSNAP results (Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme). This fantastic achievement reflects the unit's commitment to providing outstanding, rapid care to patients when they need it most. They scored the highest possible A rating for the quality of care they deliver.
This achievement is even more impressive because SSNAP introduced tougher standards this year to reflect the latest evidence in stroke care. Despite these higher expectations, the teams from the Mersey & West Lancs Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust have delivered outstanding results.
Their success is also supported by their partnership working with the North West Ambulance Service and the Walton Centre, where they have 24/7 access to thrombectomy services, a vital intervention in stroke care which has huge benefits for eligible patients. 👏
A huge congratulations to all the dedicated staff at the HASU unit for their hard work and dedication in delivering world-class stroke care in Whiston! 🎉👏💙

Congratulations 💕Fantastic achievement
Well done to you all 💙 and keep up the excellent care in Aintree for stroke patients too 💙💙
Whiston was amazing for me when I was admitted in May. Well deserved recognition.
This is what it looks like when you've had a stroke and then you find.. the ARNI Army ;)

Love it xx
Yer right
Exercise: Seated marching
This exercise works extremely well for starting to build up co-ordination and timing in your lower limbs. This is a fine exercise for you to do if you are tired, having just done an effortful exercise like ‘getting up from the floor’, and you are not quite ready to attempt another effortful exercise. Don’t think that this is a restful exercise however, because it must be done with a high degree of control. You are attempting to control where your foot is coming back down onto the floor each time, and produce a left/right marching pattern. A slow skilful movement may well require more control than a faster movement, so your goal should be to match appropriate velocity to the marching and your current ability. But always push at the edges of your current ability. The most important aspect with this exercise in order to gain most control is to select a speed, then speed the rhythmic marching up and then slow it down a number of times.

A new experimental drug named Scp776 is showing incredible promise for acute ischemic stroke patients, especially those who miss the critical initial treatment window! 🤯💊
Currently, patients arriving after a few hours have very limited drug options, but Phase 2 trial results for Scp776 (known as the ARPEGGIO study) suggest this could soon be historical. This is exciting news because the drug was tested on patients up to 24 hours after stroke onset, a population that currently has no approved drug treatment options beyond mechanical clot removal.
Scp776 works by delivering a growth factor (IGF-1) to injured cells to stop them from dying, effectively helping to save the brain. Patients in the trial showed clinically meaningful improvements in stroke severity and a 15% increase in the proportion of patients achieving functional independence at 90 days compared to a placebo group. Plus, the drug was safe and well-tolerated in the study!
ARNI Stroke Rehab UK says that while these are findings from a small Phase 2 study and more research is needed, the potential impact is very promising and could revolutionise stroke care for thousands of people. Let's hope this breakthrough continues to progress through clinical trials! 🙏💙

Sounds good. Both my stokes thry weren't sure when they happened so couldn't be treated unfortunately
Anything for post stroke recovery?
