Old antibiotic may find new life as a stroke treatment
Minocycline appears to reduce stroke damage in multiple ways - inhibiting white blood cells and enzymes that, at least acutely, can destroy brain tissue and blood vessels, respectively, says Dr. David Hess, chair of the Department of Neurology in the Medical College of Georgia School of Medicine. view more (2008-05-20)
Combination Anti-Clotting Therapy Increases Risk Of Bleeding For People At High Risk of Recurrent Stroke
The combination of two anti-clotting agents, aspirin and clopidogrel- known to be beneficial for people with cardiovascular disease-should not be recommended treatment for patients who have cerebrovascular disease, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Hans-Christoph Diener (University of Essen, Germany) and colleagues... view more... (2004-07-21)
RETINAL BLOOD-VESSEL DAMAGE LINKED TO INCREASED STROKE RISK (p 1134)
Retinal photography—used to detect abnormalities in blood vessels at the back of the eye—could help identify people who are at an increased risk of stroke, suggest authors of a study in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. Damage to the small blood vessels in the retina (retinal microvascular abnormalities) arises from high blood... view more... (2001-10-03)
People with psychiatric illness at disadvantage for cardiovascular care
This study, supported by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Nova Scotia, concludes that patients with psychiatric illness have an increased rate of death and decreased access to some procedures related to circulatory disease (such as heart disease, stroke). view more (2007-03-13)
Depression after stroke: a neglected problem

Inflammation markers linked more with fatal than nonfatal cardiovascular events in elderly
A study published this week in the open access journal PLoS Medicine shows that for elderly people at risk of cardiovascular disease, the presence of inflammatory markers in the blood can identify that an individual is at a higher risk of a fatal rather than a non-fatal heart attack or stroke. view more (2009-06-23)
Stem cells replace stroke-damaged tissue in rats
Effective stem cell treatment for strokes has taken a significant step forward today (09 March) as scientists reveal how they have replaced stroke-damaged brain tissue in rats. view more (2009-03-09)
Welcome Alternative To Warfarin For People At High Risk Of Stroke (pp 1686, 1691)
Results of an international study in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide strong evidence that the oral direct thrombin-inhibitor ximelagatran could be a safe and effective alternative to warfarin in reducing stroke among people with atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation (irregular and rapidly beating atria) increases the risk of cardiac... view more... (2003-11-19)
Novel approach may protect against heart attack injury
Researchers at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have manipulated cell activity that occurs during the interruption of blood flow to strongly protect heart tissue in animal studies. view more (2008-07-11)
Three-year SAPPHIRE and US carotid feasibility trials demonstrate durability of carotid stenting
Preliminary three-year data from the SAPPHIRE and final three-year data from the U.S. Carotid Feasibility Study (USFS) presented at the 2005 Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics meeting, demonstrate the long-term durability of carotid artery stenting (CAS) for the prevention of stroke versus carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in high risk surgical... view more...

New study reveals the financial effects of stroke in China
A new study has found that families in China face considerable economic hardship following stroke, and it is not uncommon for health care costs to push families below the poverty line. view more (2009-05-08)
Oxygen deprived brains repaired and saved
Scientists from Melbourne's Howard Florey Institute have found special proteins that protect the brain after it has been damaged by a lack of oxygen, which occurs in conditions such as stroke, perinatal asphyxia, near-drowning and traumatic brain injury. view more (2006-08-25)
Garlic may protect the heart after heart surgery
Raw garlic consumption may help limit the damage done to the heart after surgery because if its natural antioxidant properties, according to a new study published in BMC Pharmacology. After a heart attack it is important to restore the flow of blood to the heart so that damage to the heart muscle can be minimised. However, the return of blood... view more... (2002-09-09)
Ultrasound screening helps prevent stroke in children with sickle cell disease
Screening with an ultrasound machine has proved highly successful in preventing stroke among children with sickle cell disease, by identifying children who are then preventively treated with blood transfusions. view more (2008-12-08)
High hourly air pollution levels more than double stroke risk
High hourly levels of air pollution, more than double the risk of one type of stroke, suggests research published ahead of print in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. view more (2006-09-21)
UGA study suggests that lowering blood pressure following stroke may reduce damage
A new University of Georgia study suggests that commonly prescribed drugs used to lower blood pressure may help reduce brain damage when given within 24 hours of a stroke. view more (2007-04-18)
Dental X-Rays of carotid artery not enough to estimate stroke risk
Detection of calcified tissue in the carotid artery by dental x-rays is not enough evidence to estimate a patient's stroke risk was the conclusion of a systematic literature review published in this month's Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA). view more (2007-04-23)
Number of cardiovascular risk factors could determine safety of intravenous gammaglobulin treatment
New research out of Wake Forest University School of Medicine identifies the presence of cardiovascular risk factors as an indicator of how likely it is that elderly, hospitalized patients who receive intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment will have a stroke or heart attack. view more (2009-03-05)
Vitamin E supplementation shows no overall benefit for major cardiovascular events or cancer
In an article in the July 6 JAMA, I-Min Lee, M.B.B.S., Sc.D., of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, and colleagues analyzed data from the vitamin E component of the Women's Health Study, which tested whether vitamin E supplementation decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer among healthy women. view more (2005-07-06)
Biomarker of breathing control abnormality associated with hypertension and stroke
A study in the July 1 issue of the journal SLEEP identified a distinct ECG-derived spectrographic phenotype, designated as narrow-band elevated low frequency coupling (e-LFCNB), that is associated with prevalent hypertension, stroke, greater severity of sleep disordered breathing and sleep fragmentation in patients suffering from obstructive sleep... view more...
