A milestone study published in the journal Nature Communications is offering the first demonstration of a direct causal relationship between the gut microbiome and a human neurovascular disease. Verifying prior animal studies, the research suggests a m… Continue reading Study finds hemorrhagic brain disease caused by gut bacteria metabolite
In 2017, researchers from Harvard’s Wyss Institute, the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Science and Boston University demonstrated a soft robotic exosuit designed to help stroke patients improve their mobility. Now an untethered versi… Continue reading Soft exosuit improves walking speed and endurance for stroke survivors
An abnormal heart rhythm known as atrial fibrillation is one of the leading causes of strokes, yet it’s also often symptomless, so it frequently goes undetected. An experimental new necklace, however, could make checking for it a quick and simple proce… Continue reading ECG-packin’ necklace made for fast and easy heart-checks
It was just last year when a study concluded that a warm bath before bed should indeed help you to sleep. Now, a new study suggests that regular hot soaks may also lower the risk of death from cardiovascular disease.Continue ReadingCategory: Health &am… Continue reading Study suggests a hot bath a day might keep the heart disease away
Early results presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference in Los Angeles suggest non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation can enhance brain activity in patients after stroke. It is hoped the device could speed up recov… Continue reading Magnetic stimulation enhances brain activity, aiding stroke recovery
Atherosclerosis is a disease where fatty plaques build up in the arteries, increasing a person’s risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. But now, researchers at Oxford University have found a protein that appears to trigger this cascade of events, … Continue reading Problem protein could be new drug target for preventing heart attacks
