UK research in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how an unexplained epileptic seizure among people aged 60 years or over probably indicates a high risk of subsequent stroke. Authors of the study comment that the identification of patients at increased stroke risk has implications for preventative treatment, and that seizures should be... view more... (2004-04-07)
Stem cell transplants improve recovery in animal models for stroke, cerebral palsy
A single dose of adult donor stem cells given to animals that have neurological damage similar to that experienced by adults with a stroke or newborns with cerebral palsy can significantly enhance recovery from these types of injuries, researchers say. view more (2006-04-10)
MAJOR TRIAL WILL LOOK AT BEST WAYS TO FEED STROKE PATIENTS

3 clinical features identified to avoid misdiagnosis of TIAs
For mini-strokes, or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), both overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis can be perilous. Overdiagnosis neglects the real underlying illness. Underdiagnosis leaves a patient at risk of a full-fledged stroke. Both expose patients to erroneous therapies with potential side effects. view more (2008-11-11)

New treatments prevent brain injury hours after stroke in rats
Two novel treatments - a basic compound found in every cell in the body and an extract of green tea - may prevent brain damage caused from stroke, according to two studies in rats led by a researcher at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. view more (2007-01-02)
Self-reported Stress Linked To Fatal Stroke
The dilemma over whether stress causes a stroke became clearer today (27 October) when Dr Thomas Truelsen from the Institute of Preventive Medicine in Copenhagen presented results of a survey on self-reported stress and risk of stroke in which more than12,500 people in Denmark participated. At the European Federation of Neurological Societies... view more... (2002-10-24)
Timely surgery dramatically reduces stroke risk for people with carotid stenosis (p 915)
Surgical intervention to remove narrowing in the carotid artery (carotid endarterectomy) could substantially reduce the risk of major strokes in certain groups of patients if it is done sufficiently soon after a "warning stroke" or transient ischaemic attack (TIA), suggest authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Peter... view more... (2004-03-17)
Constraint-induced movement therapy is effective in rehabilitating stroke patients
Stroke patients who receive constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT)-a rehabilitative technique that restrains the less-impaired arm, show significant improvement in arm and hand function, according to a seven-center national study led by Emory University researchers. view more (2006-11-01)
Limited data suggest possible association between Agent Orange exposure
A new report from the Institute of Medicine finds suggestive but limited evidence that exposure to Agent Orange and other herbicides used during the Vietnam War is associated with an increased chance of developing ischemic heart disease and Parkinson's disease for Vietnam veterans. view more (2009-07-27)

Long-term Outcome After Intravenous Thrombolysis of Basilar Artery Occlusion
Occlusion of the basilar artery (BAO) is a relatively infrequent but the most catastrophic form of ischemic stroke with a dismal natural course, carrying from 85 to almost 95 % mortality. Complete BAO precipitates a sudden or gradually worsening clinical syndrome with bilateral motor weaknesses, visual or speech disturbances, deficits in motor... view more... (2004-10-21)
Finnish study identifies factors that increase death in stroke patients ages 15 to 49
Heavy drinking, being 45 to 49 years old, type 1 diabetes or having a preceding infection are associated with more than twice the risk of death in stroke patients 15 to 49 years old, according to a Finnish study. view more (2009-07-10)
Inhibition of GRK2 is protective against acute cardiac stress injuries
Inhibition of a protein known to contribute to heart failure also appears to be protective of the heart in more acute cardiac stress injury, namely ischemia reperfusion. view more (2009-11-18)
Stubble equals trouble? Shaving, heart disease and stroke
How often a man shaves may be a marker of his susceptibility to heart disease, according to new research from the University of Bristol, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology this week.
