Finland, officially the Republic of Finland (in Finnish: Suomi), is the northernmost and the most sparsely populated country in the European Union. By size, it is the fifth-largest country in Western Europe with its 338,440 km² of land, and with a population of 5.5 million (16 persons/km²). Politically, Finland has been a parliamentary democracy since its independence 1917, after having been a grand duchy of Russian empire for 108 years and prior to that a part of Sweden for 600 years.

Paper of the MonthPaper of the month: Improved recovery from post-stroke aphasia with motor cortex electrical stimulation
For May 2016 we have selected: Meinzer M, Darkow R, Lindenberg R, Flöel A. Electrical stimulation of the motor cortex enhances treatment outcome in post-stroke aphasia. Brain 2016:139;1152-1163. Language deficits after a stroke can be devastating and have a remarkable impact on the quality of life. Rehabilitation strategies can improve aphasia also in the chronic phases, but there is the overall need of more efficacious and focused treatment strategies. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been shown to change cortical excitability and induce synaptic plasticity without side effects. -

Paper of the Month
Paper of the month: Efficacy and safety of andexanet to reverse factor Xa inhibitors activity.
For February 2016 we have selected: Siegal DM, Curnutte JT, Connolly SJ, et al. Andexanet alfa for the reversal of factor Xa inhibitor activity. N Engl J Med 2015;33:2413-2424. There is an increased use of direct factor Xa inhibitors (like apixaban, rivaroxaban, and edoxaban) to prevent stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation since these medications have several advantages compared to vitamin K antagonists. -
