Research set to enhance understanding of MS and stroke causes
A team of researchers from Sheffield's two universities is to investigate the role played by proteolytic enzymes (enzymes that break down proteins) in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS) and stroke. Understanding the role of these enzymes could be vital in advancing knowledge of how the conditions are caused, and finding ways to combat... view more... (2002-08-20)

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)
UK study shows substantial reduction in stroke over past 20 years (pp 1920, 1925)
