Body mass index has a non-linear association with three-month outcomes in men with acute ischemic stroke: An analysis based on data from a prospective cohort study
ConclusionA particular non-linear connection and saturation effect between BMI (kg/m2) and 3-month unfavorable outcomes were present in male patients with AIS but not in females. 23.35 kg/m2 was the BMI’s inflection point. The probability of unfavorable outcomes was substantially and inversely associated with BMI in men with AIS when it was less than 23.35 kg/m2. Men with AIS should have a BMI of no less than 23.35 kg/m2 to reduce the probability of unfavorable outcomes following AIS.

The final puff: Can New Zealand quit smoking for good?
Smoking kills. Ayesha Verrall has seen it up close. As a young resident physician in New Zealand’s public hospitals in the 2000s, Verrall watched smokers come into the emergency ward every night, struggling to breathe with their damaged lungs. Later, as an infectious disease specialist, she saw how smoking exacerbated illness in individuals diagnosed with tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. She would tell them: “The best thing you can do to promote your health, other than take the pills, is to quit smoking.” Verrall is still urging citizens to give up cigarettes—no longer just one by one, but by the thousands. As New...

Induction of Nanog in neural progenitor cells for adaptive regeneration of ischemic brain
Experimental & Molecular Medicine, Published online: 14 November 2022; doi:10.1038/s12276-022-00880-3The NANOG regulatory protein promotes neuronal regeneration by prompting the self-renewal of progenitor cells following a stroke due to blood vessel blockage (ischemic stroke). NANOG is involved in cellular plasticity and reprogramming, including the maintenance of pluripotent stem cells. Gyung-Ah Jung at the Catholic University of Korea in Seoul, South Korea, and co-workers have demonstrated that NANOG is also critical to the brain’s adaptive response to ischemic stroke. They found that NANOG is preferentially expres...

Risk of stroke in multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optic spectrum disorder: a Nationwide cohort study in South Korea
Conclusions The risk of stroke is increased in patients with MS and NMOSD and seemed comparable between the two conditions. This is the first study that estimates the risk of stroke in patients with MS and NMOSD within the same population.

Association of long-term exposure to PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > and survival following ischemic heart disease
CONCLUSION: Mortality from all-cause and cardiovascular disease following hospitalization due to ischemic heart disease was higher among individuals with greater PM2.5 exposure in seven major cities in South Korea. The result supports the association of long-term exposure to air pollution with poor prognosis among patients with ischemic heart disease.PMID:36208782 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2022.114440
