The Dutch String‐of‐Pearls Stroke Study: Protocol of a large prospective multicenter genetic cohort study
BackgroundIn the last couple of years, genome‐wide association studies have largely altered the scope in genetic research in diseases in which both environmental and genetic risk factors contribute to the disease. To date, the genetic risk loci identified in stroke have lagged behind those in other complex diseases, possibly because of the heterogeneity of stroke phenotypes. Sufficiently large cohorts with well‐defined and detailed phenotyping of stroke patients are needed to identify additional genetic risk loci.
DesignThe String‐of‐Pearls Institute is a unique partnership between all eight University Medical Cent...

Informing Patients with Acute Stroke About their Risk of Dementia: A Survey of UK Healthcare Professionals
People who have a stroke are at an increased risk of developing dementia.1,2 According to the 2021 James Lind Alliance –Stroke Association Priority Setting Partnership, cognitive issues after stroke are a key concern of people who have a stroke.3 Identifying which patients with acute stroke are at risk of dementia could help patients and their carers to plan for the future. However, informing a patient who has jus t had a stroke about their risk of dementia may cause anxiety.

ASOC Osuntokun Award Lecture 2022: Partnership for stroke prevention and treatment in Africa: Qualitative research processes and findings
Africa has one of the highest rates of stroke and stroke deaths in the world. The burden of stroke is increasing with a 3-year mortality rate of up to 84%. Stroke disproportionately affects the young and middle-aged population contributing to morbidity and mortality affecting families, communities, health systems, and economic progress. My objectives of the 2022 Osuntokun Award Lecture at the African Stroke Organization Conference were to explore our qualitative research findings from our communities and to propose future qualitative methods for improving stroke outcomes in Africa.

Academic-industry Collaborations in Translational Stroke Research
Abstract
Academic-industry collaborations are an emerging format of translational stroke research. Next to classic contract research models, a multitude of collaboration models has been developed, some of which even allowing for multinational or intercontinental research programs. This development has recently been paralleled by first successful attempts to overcome the translational stroke research road block, such as the unprecedented success of novel endovascular approaches or the advent of the multicenter preclinical trial concept. While the first underlines the role of the industry as a major innovation drive...

Drug Combo Cuts Stroke Risk After TIA
A simple combination of two anti-clotting drugs, clopidogrel and aspirin, can cut the risk of a stroke in patients who have already experienced a mini-stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). This was the result of a phase 3 clinical trial conducted in China with the help of a US physician who says it could change the standard of care in the US. The investigators report their findings in the 26 June online issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, NEJM. The trial took place at several sites in China and was designed in partnership with S...

Risk Of Stroke Effectively Reduced By Simple 2-Drug Combination
Results of a Phase III clinical trial showed that a simple drug regimen of two anti-clotting drugs - clopidogrel and aspirin- lowered the risk of stroke by almost one-third, compared to the standard therapy of aspirin alone, when given to patients who had minor or transient stroke symptoms to prevent subsequent attacks. Described this week in the New England Journal of Medicine (July 4, 2013 print issue), the clinical trial was conducted at multiple sites in China and designed in partnership with a physician at UC San Francisco...

Timely treatment after stroke is crucial, UCLA researchers report
For years, the mantra of neurologists treating stroke victims has been "time equals brain." That's because getting a patient to the emergency room quickly to receive a drug that dissolves the stroke-causing blood clot can make a significant difference in how much brain tissue is saved or lost.
But specific information has been limited on just how the timing of giving the intravenous drug — known as a tissue plasminogen activator, or tPA — influences outcomes for victims of ischemic (clot-caused), stroke, the most common type of stroke.
Now, a team led by UCLA researchers has conducted a major stud...

UCLA, USC get $2M to develop stroke center network in Southland
Stroke is the second leading cause of death in Los Angeles County and the fourth in the U.S. In order to cut those numbers, it's imperative that new treatments be developed and refined for stroke prevention, acute therapy and recovery after stroke.
Now, a three-way partnership between the UCLA Stroke Center at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, the USC Comprehensive Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center at Keck Medicine of USC, and UC Irvine has been awarded a $2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to address these three stroke priorities.
Together, the three universities will form the Los A...

Stroke treatment, outcomes improve at hospitals participating in UCLA-led initiative
Administering a clot-dissolving drug to stroke victims quickly — ideally within the first 60 minutes after they arrive at a hospital emergency room — is crucial to saving their lives, preserving their brain function and reducing disability.
Given intravenously, tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) is currently the only Food and Drug Administration–approved therapy shown to improve outcomes for patients suffering acute ischemic stroke, which affects some 800,000 Americans annually.
Now, a UCLA-led study demonstrates that hospitals participating in the "Target: Stroke" national quality-improvement program have markedly...

UCLA Health launches pioneering mobile stroke unit with support from L.A. County
Roughly every 40 seconds, someone in the United States will have a stroke. Almost every four minutes, one of those people will die as a result. Against that backdrop, UCLA Health has officially launched the first mobile stroke unit on the West Coast, enabling rapid delivery of brain-saving medications to stroke patients who might otherwise face debilitating delays in treatment. As part of the first phase of a pilot program, the specialized ambulance unit and highly trained personnel began responding in September to select 911 calls in Santa Monica in coordination with the Santa Monica Fire Department. With support from t...

UCLA, partners get $11M to develop stroke-prevention programs for minority populations
UCLA researchers and their partners across Los Angeles County have been awarded an $11 million federal grant to fund research on community-based interventions aimed at reducing the higher rates of stroke and death from stroke among disadvantaged Hispanics, African Americans and Asian Americans.
Research has shown that stroke risk can be substantially lowered by increasing physical activity, controlling blood pressure, adopting a healthy diet, quitting smoking, lowering cholesterol and, for certain individuals, taking medication like aspirin.
However, the underserved populations targeted by this research progr...
