Strokes 'may be linked to temperature', study finds
Conclusion
This retrospective study reports that there is an association between lower temperature and increased humidity and a slightly increased risk of ischaemic stroke. It was a large study, but there are several major limitations of this study design:
The temperature was matched with discharge dates. There is a wide variation in the length of hospitalisation after a stroke, so the temperature at discharge may be very different to the temperature when the stroke occurred.
The researchers assumed that changes in outdoor air temperature would have been experienced by all of the people who suffered from a stroke. It...

Comparison of 8 Scores for predicting Symptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage after IV Thrombolysis
Conclusions
Three scores showed good agreement with sICH: DRAGON, Stroke-TPI, and HAT with odds ratios substantially greater than 1. Stroke-TPI and HAT additionally benefited from low computational complexity and therefore performed best overall. Our results demonstrate the utility of clinical scores as predictors of sICH in acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing IV thrombolytic therapy.

Cohort-Based Identification of Predictors of Symptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage After IV Thrombolysis
Conclusions
Using a novel cohort-based approach, we identified two new independent predictors of sICH after IV rt-PA therapy: the presence of the hyperdense MCA sign and early CT hypodensities. Novel methods are needed to reduce the risk of sICH for patients receiving antithrombolytic therapy for ischemic stroke.

TURN: A Simple Predictor of Symptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage After IV Thrombolysis
Conclusions
We developed a new score for predicting sICH after IV thrombolysis. Our score is simple and with acceptable accuracy, making it ideal for use in the hyperacute stroke setting.

TCT 2017: Medtronic touts results from 6-month Evolut Pro study
Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) today released six-month data from a study of its Evolut Pro transcatheter aortic valve replacement platform, touting low rates of paravalvular leaks and low rates of all-cause mortality and disabling stroke.
Data came from 60 patients in the trial who received the Evolut Pro valve, and follow previously released 30-day outcomes.
Results at six-months indicated trace or no paravalvular leaks in 88% of patients, with low rates of all-cause mortality and disabling stroke. No instances of coronary obstruction or valve thrombosis were reported and the permanent pacemaker implantation rate was 11.7%, Medt...

As some hail new antibody treatment for Alzheimer ’s, safety and benefit questions persist
In a packed San Francisco conference room with a celebratory atmosphere, upbeat company representatives and scientists yesterday presented detailed clinical trial data on the first Alzheimer’s treatment shown to clearly, albeit modestly, slow the disease’s normal cognitive decline. The antibody therapy has buoyed a field marked by decades of failures. Now, it appears to be on the cusp of being greenlit by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Yet other researchers warn of potential risks, including brain swelling and brain hemorrhages that were linked to the recently disclosed deaths of two trial participants wh...

The patient, a man in his 70s with a shock of silver hair, lies in the neuro intensive care unit (neuro ICU) at Yale New Haven Hospital. Looking at him, you’d never know that a few days earlier a tumor was removed from his pituitary gland. The operation didn’t leave a mark because, as is standard, surgeons reached the tumor through his nose. He chats cheerfully with a pair of research associates who have come to check his progress with a new and potentially revolutionary device they are testing.

Rethinking Retirement in the 21st Century
Conclusion
In the 21st century, many seniors are not retiring from something. Instead, retirement is an opportunity for reinventing, reimagining and reconnecting to one's self, family, friends and community. Robert Browning once wrote, "Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be." By investing in your physical, mental and financial health today, you can help ensure that your best years are just ahead.

Novel genetic mutation may lead to the progressive loss of motor function
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) Researchers from the National Institutes of Health and their colleagues identified the genetic cause and a possible therapeutic target for a rare form of pediatric progressive neuropathy. The study was published in the journal Science Signaling and was a collaboration between the NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke; Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn.; and Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Conn.
