Device used to close small hole in heart may protect against recurrent stroke
A device used to close a small hole in the heart may benefit certain stroke patients by providing an extra layer of protection for those facing years of ongoing stroke risk, according to the results of a large clinical trial led by UCLA researchers.“It is a major new treatment option for some people,” said Dr. Jeffrey Saver, director of theUCLA Comprehensive Stroke Center and lead author of the study. However, he added, “Using the device is going to have to be a considered clinical decision between the doctor and the patient about who’s the right person to get it.”Thefindings appear in the Sept. 14 New England Jo...

Sleep biology discovery could lead to new insomnia treatments that don ’t target the brain
UCLA scientists report the first evidence that a gene outside the brain controls the ability to rebound from sleep deprivation — a surprising discovery that could eventually lead to greatly improved treatments for insomnia and other sleep disorders that do not involve getting a drug into the brain.The scientists report that increasing the level of Bmal1 — a critical master gene that regulates sleep patterns — in skeletal muscle makes mice resistant to sleep deprivation.“When we first saw the importance of the muscle, we were surprised,” said senior author Ketema Paul, UCLA associate professor of integrative biolo...

Ambient Temperature and Stillbirth: A Multi-Center Retrospective Cohort Study
Conclusions:
Extremes of local ambient temperature may have chronic and acute effects on stillbirth risk, even in temperate zones. Temperature-related effects on pregnancy outcomes merit additional investigation. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP945

'Extreme Sitting' For More Than 10 Hours A Day Linked To Heart Disease
By Kathryn Doyle
(Reuters Health) – Being sedentary, at least in moderation, is unlikely to cause heart disease, according to a new review of past research.
Based on their analysis, researchers conclude that only very high levels of sedentary time ― more than 10 hours per day ― are linked to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke or heart disease-related death.
Compared to sitting for less than three of one’s waking hours each day, more than 10 hours of sedentary time was tied to an 8 percent increase in risk for developing heart disease.
“Our findings suggest that sedentary time is associated with...

Radiation Monitoring Results from the First Year of Operation of a Unique Ambulance-based Computed Tomography Unit for the Improved Diagnosis and Treatment of Stroke Patients.
Abstract
When a blood clot blocks the blood supply to the brain or when a blood vessel bursts, resulting in brain cell death, the medical condition is referred to as a "stroke." Stroke is a main cause of death worldwide and is a common cause of disability. A common form of stroke, called ischemic stroke, is when blood flow to the brain is decreased. Clinical research has revealed that treatment within the very first hours of symptom onset is key for ischemic stroke with recanalization of occluded arteries by thrombolysis with alteplase. Computed tomography (CT) is one of the diagnostic tools used to determine if t...

Staying Late At The Office Could Raise Your Risk Of Heart Disease
Go home. And don't take your computer with you. New research reminds us that working overtime is terribly unhealthy. The study, which was published this month in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine found that working more than 45 hours a week increases a person's risk for heart-related health problems, like heart attacks. Researchers analyzed data from 1,900 participants to better understand the connection between work hours and heart health. The participants had all been employed for at least 10 years at full-time jobs. Researchers noted any cardiovascular disease-related events that had been diag...
