Scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus believe they have discovered how a common disease called shingles can increase a person’s risk of stroke. The novel findings reveal how latent viral infections can be reawakened after lyi… Continue reading How a dormant viral infection can reactivate and trigger a stroke
Researchers at the University of Oslo are proposing a novel treatment for stroke that involves administering an infusion of a blood protein suspected to protect the brain from damage. Early tests in mice indicate if the treatment is given within hours … Continue reading Infusion of blood protein proposed as new treatment for stroke
A team of researchers in the UK has developed a fully automated artificial intelligence-enabled system that can scan retinal images for vascular health, helping identify those at high risk of heart disease and stroke.Continue ReadingCategory: Health &a… Continue reading AI-enabled eye scan delivers stroke and heart disease risk scores
New research from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis presents the most comprehensive investigation to date into the long-term neurological problems associated with COVID-19. Tracking more than 150,000 COVID patients for 12 months… Continue reading Mild COVID increases risk of many neurological problems for millions
Looking at nearly 50 studies previously published on the relationship between genes and ischemic stroke, researchers have found blood type may play a role in the likelihood of young adults experiencing this life-threatening event.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Increased risk of stroke in adults linked to certain blood type
Researchers at the University of South Australia have uncovered a link between vitamin D deficiency and an increased risk of dementia and stroke. The study found that a decent proportion of cases of dementia may be prevented by boosting levels of the h… Continue reading Vitamin D deficiency linked to increased dementia risk
Most treatments for strokes aim to help reduce or repair damage to affected neurons. But a new study in mice has shown that a drug already in use to treat certain neurological disorders could help patients recover from strokes by getting undamaged neur… Continue reading Existing drug aids stroke recovery by rewiring undamaged neurons
When someone has been left paralyzed by a stroke or brain injury, much of their recovery involves physically guiding the affected limb though the lost motion, so their brain can relearn it. A new exoskeleton does exactly that for the hand, and patients… Continue reading Emovo Grasp could help restore hand function to stroke victims
Researchers have homed in on several strains of gut bacteria that are associated with the severity of a common form of stroke. The findings build on a growing body of research suggesting future therapies targeting the gut microbiome could reduce a pers… Continue reading Stroke severity linked to certain strains of gut bacteria
A leading panel of US experts has updated its health guidelines, formally recommending those over the age of 60 against taking aspirin to prevent heart attack or stroke. The recommendation is based on growing evidence indicating the harms of daily aspi… Continue reading Daily aspirin use for heart health not recommended for those over 60
