Seaweed Intake and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: The Circulatory Risk in Communities Study (CIRCS).
CONCLUSIONS: We found an inverse association between seaweed intake and risk of total stroke, especially that from cerebral infarction, among Japanese men. PMID: 33597328 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Serum Glucose and Potassium Ratio as Risk Factors for Cerebral Vasospasm after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Objective: Cerebral vasospasm is associated with poor prognosis in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and biomarkers for predicting poor prognosis have not yet been established. We attempted to clarify the relationship between serum glucose/potassium ratio and cerebral vasospasm in patients with aneurysmal SAH. Methods: We studied 333 of 535 aneurysmal SAH patients treated between 2006 and 2016 (123 males, 210 females; mean age 59.7 years; range 24-93). We retrospectively analyzed the relationship between cerebral vasospasm grade and clinical risk factors, including serum glucose/potassium ratio.

Susceptibility of the cerebral cortex to spreading depolarization in neurological disease states: The impact of aging
Publication date: Available online 15 October 2018Source: Neurochemistry InternationalAuthor(s): Péter Hertelendy, Dániel P. Varga, Ákos Menyhárt, Ferenc Bari, Eszter FarkasAbstractSecondary injury following acute brain insults significantly contributes to poorer neurological outcome. The spontaneous, recurrent occurrence of spreading depolarization events (SD) has been recognized as a potent secondary injury mechanism in subarachnoid hemorrhage, malignant ischemic stroke and traumatic brain injury. In addition, SD is the underlying mechanism of the aura symptoms of migraineurs. The susceptibility of the nervous tissue...

Calcium and potassium channels in experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage and transient global ischemia.
Authors: Kamp MA, Dibué M, Schneider T, Steiger HJ, Hänggi D Abstract Healthy cerebrovascular myocytes express members of several different ion channel families which regulate resting membrane potential, vascular diameter, and vascular tone and are involved in cerebral autoregulation. In animal models, in response to subarachnoid blood, a dynamic transition of ion channel expression and function is initiated, with acute and long-term effects differing from each other. Initial hypoperfusion after exposure of cerebral vessels to oxyhemoglobin correlates with a suppression of voltage-gated potassium channel activity...
