Stroke.ahajournals.org: July 31, 2012 Background and Purpose—Prospective studies of red meat consumption and risk of stroke have provided inconsistent results. We performed a meta-analysis to summarize the evidence regarding the effects of red meat (fresh, processed, and total) consumption on stroke risk. Methods—Studies were identified by searching the PubMed database through May 26, 2012, and by […]
Stroke.ahajournals.org: July 31, 2012 Background and Purpose—New diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesions are common in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The pathophysiology of these new lesions is unclear. We differentiated new DWI lesions outside the area of initial hypoperfusion from those confined to the area of initial hypoperfusion. Methods—Patients with acute stroke underwent 3 MRI examinations: on […]
Cdc.gov: July 27, 2012 * Per 10,000 population. Hospitalization for stroke (cerebrovascular disease) is defined as a first-listed diagnosis on the medical record of 430–438, as coded according to the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification. This includes hospitalizations for acute strokes, transient ischemic attack, and for late effects of stroke. Rates were calculated using […]
Bmj.com: July 26, 2012 To synthesise the association of shift work with major vascular events as reported in the literature. Data sources Systematic searches of major bibliographic databases, contact with experts in the field, and review of reference lists of primary articles, review papers, and guidelines. Study selection Observational studies that reported risk ratios for vascular morbidity, vascular […]
Stroke.ahajournals.org: August 7, 2012 Background and Purpose—The etiology of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is poorly understood. Reduced lung function, expressed as low forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and low forced vital capacity (FVC), is a predictor of cardiovascular disease, but whether reduced lung function is a risk factor for SAH is not known. The association […]
Biomedcentral.com: August 6, 2012 Post-stroke mania is an infrequent complication after stroke, and the mechanisms underlying this disorder remain unclear. Although a contralesional release phenomenon has been implicated in post-stroke mania, empirical findings are lacking. Case presentation we preset a case report of post stroke mania. Single photon emission tomography (SPECT) was performed twice, during the […]
Stroke.ahajournals.org: 8/6/12 Perfusion imaging has the potential to select patients most likely to respond to thrombolysis. We tested the correspondence of computed tomography perfusion (CTP)-derived mismatch with contemporaneous perfusion-diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods—Acute ischemic stroke patients 3 to 6 hours after onset had CTP and perfusion-diffusion MRI within 1 hour, before thrombolysis. Relative cerebral […]
stroke.ahajournals.org: August 2, 2012 The purpose of this study was to provide a simple and practical clinical classification for the etiology of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods—We performed a retrospective chart review of consecutive patients with ICH treated at the Helsinki University Central Hospital, January 2005 to March 2010 (n=1013). We classified ICH etiology by predefined […]
Onlinelibrary.wiley.com: AUG 1, 2012 Silent brain infarction is a cerebral ischaemic event evident on brain imaging without any clinical symptom. Silent brain infarction is often detected in apparently healthy, elderly people and in different selected patient groups as well. Lately, several studies were carried out in order to identify the clinical conditions leading to silent brain […]
Onlinelibrary.wiley.com: 8/1/12 There is an increased risk of strokes in pregnancy and puerperium. Intracranial haemorrhage is the rarer of the two stroke subtypes but carries a greater morbidity and mortality for both the mother and the child. This review highlights the causes of pregnancy-related intracranial haemorrhage and its management. The incidence varies from region to region […]
