Association of Exhaled Carbon Monoxide With Stroke Incidence and Subclinical Vascular Brain Injury: Framingham Heart Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In this large, community-based sample of individuals without clinical stroke/transient ischemic attack at baseline, higher exhaled CO was associated with a greater burden of subclinical cerebrovascular disease cross-sectionally and with increased risk of stroke/transient ischemic attack prospectively. Further investigation is necessary to explore the biological mechanisms linking elevated CO with stroke.

Association Between Carbon Monoxide Intoxication and Incidence of Ischemic Stroke: A Retrospective Nested Case-Control Study in South Korea
Severe neurological sequelae occur in patients with carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication; however, whether the latter increases the long-term risk of developing ischemic stroke is unclear. We investigated the association between CO intoxication and ischemic stroke using data from the Korean National Health Information Database.

Study finds link between air pollution and stroke risk
Conclusion This study showed a clear link between rises in gas and particle pollution and the chances of being admitted to hospital or dying because of a stroke. The researchers showed the link was strongest on the day of exposure to raised pollution levels. But this study has some limitations. While systematic reviews are a good way to summarise all the research that has been published on a topic, they are only as good as the individual studies they include. About two-thirds of the studies used a time series design, which the researchers say is less effective in taking account of trends such as the season of year, rathe...

Stroke Incidence in Survivors of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in South Korea: A Population-Based Longitudinal Study.
CONCLUSIONS CO poisoning is a high-risk factor for the development of stroke, evidenced by high incidences of stroke after CO poisoning. Practical strategies for preventing stroke after CO poisoning are needed, because stroke after CO poisoning affects adults of almost all ages, significantly increasing their socioeconomic burden.

Association between ambient air pollution and hospitalization for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in China: A multicity case-crossover study.
Abstract There is growing interest in the association between ambient air pollution and stroke, but few studies have investigated the association in developing countries. The primary objective of this study was to examine the association between levels of ambient air pollutants and hospital admission for stroke in China. A time-stratified case-crossover analysis was conducted between 2014 and 2015 in 14 large Chinese cities among 200,958 ischemic stroke and 41,746 hemorrhagic stroke hospitalizations. We used conditional logistic regression to estimate the percentage changes in stroke admissions in relation to inte...

IJERPH, Vol. 14, Pages 189: Gaseous Air Pollution and the Risk for Stroke Admissions: A Case-Crossover Study in Beijing, China
Conclusions: NO2 and SO2 were positively associated with stroke admissions, with stronger effects in warm seasons and with patients>65 years. The associations of CO and ozone with stroke admissions differed across seasons.

Association between exposure to ambient air pollution and hospital admission, incidence, and mortality of stroke: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of more than 23 million participants
ConclusionsExposure to air pollution was positively associated with an increased risk of stroke hospital admission (PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, CO, and O3), incidence (PM2.5, SO2, and NO2), and mortality (PM2.5, PM10, SO2, and NO2). Our study would provide a more comprehensive evidence of air pollution and stroke, especially SO2 and NO2.

Association between ischemic stroke and carbon monoxide poisoning: A population-based retrospective cohort analysis.
CONCLUSION: CO poisoning is associated with a long-term risk of increased incident ischemic stroke. Further study on the mechanism of ischemic stroke for CO poisoning affects is needed. PMID: 26703428 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Strong association between air pollution and stroke mortality.
Authors: Abstract Exposure to air pollution is linked to a higher risk of anxiety and stroke, according to two studies. In a review of the evidence on air pollution and stroke, researchers from the University of Edinburgh analysed 103 observational studies covering 28 countries. The review looked at gaseous pollutants (carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen and ozone) and particulate matter (particles or droplets of pollutants such as smoke, dust and soot).

Performance and emission characteristics of a bio-lubricated two-stroke gasoline engine.
Abstract Two-stroke petrol engines find wide applications in the areas like chain saws, weed cutters, and power sprayers because of their compactness and higher power to weight ratio. In the present study, the feasibility of using vegetable-based lubricant instead of ordinary mineral 2 T oil is investigated. M15 (85% petrol + 15% methanol) and E15 (85% petrol + 15% ethanol) blend with gasoline are used as the fuel. Experiments were carried out in a two-stroke air-cooled engine equipped with a rope brake dynamometer. It is observed that the vegetable-based lubricant (sunflower oil) is miscible with the tested fuel...

Stroke incidence in survivors of carbon monoxide poisoning in South Korea: a population-based longitudinal study - Kim HH, Choi S, Jung YS, Min YG, Yoon D, Lee SE.
BACKGROUND Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a suspected risk factor for stroke. However, the association between stroke occurrence and carbon monoxide poisoning remains unclear. This nationwide study in Korea analyzed the incidence of stroke in survivors ...

Nutraceutical Induction and Mimicry of Heme Oxygenase Activity as a Strategy for Controlling Excitotoxicity in Brain Trauma and Ischemic Stroke: Focus on Oxidative Stress.
Authors: McCarty MF, Lerner A Abstract Introduction: Ischemic stroke and traumatic brain injury are leading causes of acute mortality, and in the longer run, major causes of significant mental and physical impairment. Most of the brain neuronal cell death in the minutes and hours following an ischemic stroke or brain trauma is mediated by the process of excitotoxicity, in which sustained elevations of extracellular glutamate, reflecting a failure of ATP-dependent mechanism which sequester glutamate in neurons and astrocytes, drive excessive activation of NMDA receptors. Areas covered: A literature search was undertake...

Numerical evaluation of pollutant emissions of a two-stroke linear engine.
This study introduced a green engine called free-piston linear engine (FPLE), and performed an evaluation on the pollutant emissions of a diesel FPLE by comparison with a corresponding conventional crankshaft engine (CCE). The combustion reaction and pollutant formation were described by a comprehensive model which considers the special operation mechanism of the FPLE. The effect of dynamic and fuel quantity on the unclean combustion products of the FPLE and the CCE was compared. Results indicate that in the case of the fuel quantity of 7.1 mg condition, the pollutant forming in the FPLE is generally later than that in CC...
