Brain cell powerhouses appear good treatment target for stroke, TBI recovery
Cell powerhouses are typically long and lean, but with brain injury such as stroke or trauma, they can quickly become bloated and dysfunctional, say scientists who documented the phenomena in real time for the first time in a living brain.

New drug could help prevent artery disease in high-risk patients
Approximately 2,200 Americans die each day from heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular diseases. The most common cause is blocked blood vessels that can no longer supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart and brain. A recent study has shown that a protein inhibitor drug prevents these blockages, and could be a new therapeutic approach to prevent heart attack, stroke and other diseases caused by blocked blood vessels.

HIV patients have nearly twice the heart attack risk
Current methods to predict the risk of heart attack and stroke vastly underestimate the risk in individuals with HIV, which is nearly double that of the general population, reports a new study. The higher risk exists even when virus is undetectable in blood because of antiretroviral drugs. Accurately predicting risk is vital for preventive treatment, say clinicians.

How physical exercise aids in stroke recovery
Mice that had free-access to a running wheel were able to maintain ocular dominance plasticity after suffering a stroke, compared to those that didn ' t, new research shows. These exciting observations have the potential to provide a simple but effective method to protect and rehabilitate patients that are prone to, or have already suffered, a stroke.

At long last, stroke patients can be monitored at home, using a sensor suit
It may soon be possible to accurately monitor and analyze how stroke patients move during everyday life. This involves the use of a new suit fitted with 41 sensors, plus the infrastructure needed to transmit, store and process all of the data collected. This technology and information will make it possible to improve the rehabilitation process and cut healthcare costs.

New drug limits and then repairs brain damage in stroke
A potential new drug reduces the number of brain cells destroyed by stroke and then helps to repair the damage, researchers have discovered.

Generation X at greater risk of stroke than baby boomers
Older baby boomers —those born between 1945 and 1954—are the “stroke-healthiest generation,” according to a new study that found the lowest incidence of ischemic stroke in this age group within the past 20 years. In contrast, the rate of stroke more than doubled in Generation X, people born between 1965 and 19 74, during the same time period.

Research suggests ' missed opportunities ' to prescribe drugs for stroke prevention
An analysis of the records of UK patients who had experienced a stroke has found that over half of those who should get drugs to prevent strokes were not prescribed them.

' Collateral vessel ' gene discovered that protects against stroke damage
During stroke or heart attack, tissue damage can be limited because “collateral” vessels connect the tissue to other arteries. Collateral vessels can vary greatly in size and number from one person to the next. Scientists have now implicated the Rabep2 gene as a major contributor to variation.

Kids continue to consume too much salt, putting them at risk
Cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke, kills more than 800,000 Americans each year. We know that too much salt may contribute to high blood pressure and increased cardiovascular risk. According to a new study, American children are consuming sodium at levels that far exceed the daily recommended limit. Taste preferences for high sodium foods, formed as children, follow individuals into adulthood and put them at increased risk for developing cardiovascular problems later in life.

' Corkscrew ' shape of blood flow in heart ' s upper chamber may signal lower stroke risk
Using specialized CT scans of a healthy heart and one with heart disease, a team of cardiologists and biomedical engineers say they ' ve created computer models of the " shape " of blood flow through the heart ' s upper left chamber that someday may help predict stroke risk.

PFO closure is more effective than medical management in preventing recurrent stroke, long-term study results show
Percutaneously closing a patent foramen ovale (PFO) using the Amplatzer PFO Occluder was superior to medical management in the prevention of recurrent ischemic stroke in patients who previously had a cryptogenic stroke, final results from the RESPECT trial found.

New testing method allows more effective diagnosis of genetically based high cholesterol
A new genetic testing method called LipidSeq can identify a genetic basis for high-cholesterol in almost 70 per cent of a targeted patient population. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, researchers were able to pinpoint specific areas of a person ' s DNA to more effectively diagnose genetic forms of high-cholesterol, which markedly increase risk for heart attack and stroke.
