Thrombolysis and evolution of sleep apnea in ischemic stroke
Conclusions: Sleep apnea is present in the vast majority of newly diagnosed ischemic stroke patients and the prevalence remained high after six months follow-up. Remarkable declining in ESS, ODI4 and hypopneas per hour was observed in the thrombolysis group. Thrombolysis seems to be an independent protective factor for developing sleep apnea post-stroke.

The Case For Sauna Bathing Is Stronger Than Ever
A new research review has plenty of good news for people who love a good sauna session: Studies overwhelmingly suggest that the relaxing habit is also a healthy one.
A paper published Wednesday in Mayo Clinic Proceedings gathered existing findings on Finnish sauna bathing, the practice of spending time in relatively dry rooms heated to between 80 and 100 degrees, interspersed with periods of cooling. The results were culled from more than 70 studies published up through February 2018.

No association of moon phase with stroke occurrence.
Abstract
Stroke occurrence shows strong correlations with sleep disorders and even subtle sleep disturbances have been shown to affect ischemic stroke (IS) occurrence. Chronobiology also exerts effects, like the morning surge in IS occurrence. Lunar cycles have also been shown to affect sleep and other physiological processes, but studies on moon phases and its possible association with occurrence of stroke are rare and nonconclusive. Therefore, we studied the effects of moon phases on stroke hospitalizations and in-hospital mortality nationwide in Finland in 2004-2014. All patients aged ≥18 years with IS or in...

Loneliness Can Actually Hurt Your Heart. Here ’s Why
Research has shown, again and again, that emotional and physical health are inextricably linked. There are significant health benefits associated with love and friendship, supportive marriages and feelings of gratitude, for example.
And there are significant health risks linked to the opposite. A new study, published Monday in the journal Heart, looked at social isolation (being separated from other people) and loneliness (being cut off from social connection, and being unhappy about it).
Researchers found that people who are socially isolated or lonely are more likely to have a heart attack or stroke, compared to people w...
