New Stroke Gene Discovery Could Lead To Tailored Treatments
An international study led by King's College London has identified a new genetic variant associated with stroke. By exploring the genetic variants linked with blood clotting - a process that can lead to a stroke - scientists have discovered a gene which is associated with large vessel and cardioembolic stroke but has no connection to small vessel stroke. Published in the journal Annals of Neurology, the study provides a potential new target for treatment and highlights genetic differences between different types of stroke, demonstrating the need for tailored treatments...

In Preventing Diabetes-Related Heart Disease, Blood Pressure And Cholesterol Targets Are Higher Priorities Than Blood Sugar
For people with diabetes, meeting the recommended guidelines for blood pressure and cholesterol is even more important than meeting the guidelines for blood sugar control in reducing the risk of heart attack or stroke, according to a new Kaiser Permanente study published today in the Journal of General Internal Medicine. The study included more than 26,000 patients with diabetes. Patients who met guidelines for all three risk factors and those who met the blood pressure and cholesterol guidelines were least likely to be hospitalized for a heart attack or stroke...

Stroke Recovery Aided By Stem Cells
Stem cells from bone marrow or fat improve recovery after stroke in rats, finds a study published in BioMed Central's open access journal Stem Cell Research & Therapy. Treatment with stem cells improved the amount of brain and nerve repair and the ability of the animals to complete behavioural tasks. Stem cell therapy holds promise for patients but there are many questions which need to be answered, regarding treatment protocols and which cell types to use. This research attempts to address some of these questions...

H. Pylori May Protect Against Stroke
A new study by NYU School of Medicine researchers reveals that an especially virulent strain of the gut bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) isn't implicated in the overall death rate of the U.S. population, and may even protect against stroke and some cancers. The findings, based a nationwide health survey of nearly 10,000 individuals over a period of some 12 years, were published online recently in the journal Gut. Those individuals carrying the most virulent strain of H...

Walking Reduces Stroke Risk Among Women
New research reveals that walking at least three hours a week reduces the risk of stroke among women. The finding, published in the journal Stroke, comes from yet another study highlighting the health benefits of doing exercise on a consistent basis. The study involved questioning a total of 33,000 men and women aged 29 to 69 about the amount of physical activity they did between 1992 and 1996, and then following them up until 2006 to evaluate how many cardiovascular complications arose...
