How the injured brain tells the body it ' s hurt
Researchers say they have identified a new way that cells in the brain alert the rest of the body to recruit immune cells when the brain is injured. The work was completed in mouse models that mimic infection, stroke or trauma in humans.

No difference in rate of adverse cardiovascular events when comparing anticoagulants
In patients undergoing transradial primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), there was no significant difference in the rate of a composite of death, myocardial infarction and stroke whether they were anticoagulated with bivalirudin or unfractioned heparin, according to a study.

Study results show reduction in disability from stroke up to 24 hours of onset
Results from a stroke trial provide compelling evidence that selected patients suffering a major ischemic stroke recovered significantly better with mechanical retrieval of the blood clot with medical therapy compared with medical therapy alone when initiated up to 24 hours of the stroke.

Long-term aspirin use doesn ' t lower risk of stroke for some a-fib patients
New study found that using long-term aspirin therapy to prevent strokes among patients who are considered to be at low risk for stroke may not be effective as previously thought.

Link between common brain disease and gut microbiome
Bacteria in the gut microbiome drive the formation of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs), clusters of dilated, thin-walled blood vessels in the brain that can cause stroke and seizures. The research team ' s research suggests that altering the microbiome in CCM patients may be an effective therapy for this cerebrovascular disease.

Helistroke service: Flying the physician to the stroke patient works
Flying a stroke specialist by helicopter to a nearby stroke patient for emergency care is feasible, saves money and, most importantly, gets critical care to patients faster than transporting the patient to a hospital first, according to a single-patient, proof-of-concept study.

MicroRNA reduces stroke risk
The molecule microRNA-210 stabilizes deposits in the carotid artery and can thus prevent them from tearing, and prevent dangerous blood clots from forming. These results open up new treatment approaches to reduce stroke risk in patients with carotid arteries at risk of rupturing.

Stroke prevention may also reduce dementia
Ontario ' s stroke prevention strategy appears to have had an unexpected, beneficial side effect: a reduction also in the incidence of dementia among older seniors. A new paper is the first to look at the demographics of both stroke and dementia across Ontario since the province pioneered Canada ' s first stroke prevention strategy in 2000.

Scientists surprised to discover lymphatic ' scavenger ' brain cells
The brain has its own inbuilt processes for mopping up damaging cellular waste -- and these processes may provide protection from stroke and dementia. Scientists discovered a new type of lymphatic brain ' scavenger ' cell by studying tropical freshwater zebrafish -- which share many of the same cell types and organs as humans.

Facebook can function as safety net for the bereaved
Neuroscientists have long noted that if certain brain cells are destroyed by, say, a stroke, new circuits may be laid in another location to compensate, essentially rewiring the brain. Researchers have found that social networks respond similarly after the death of a close mutual friend, providing support during the grieving process.

Is soda bad for your brain? (And is diet soda worse?)
Excess sugar -- especially the fructose in sugary drinks -- might damage your brain, new research suggests. Researchers found that people who drink sugary beverages frequently are more likely to have poorer memory, smaller overall brain volume, and a significantly smaller hippocampus. A follow-up study found that people who drank diet soda daily were almost three times as likely to develop stroke and dementia when compared to those who did not.
