How chickenpox virus can cause a stroke in an HIV patient
Varicella-zoster virus causes chickenpox in children and shingles in older adults. The virus typically remains dormant in patients with healthy immune systems, but can reactivate if the immune system is compromised. Patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can, in rare cases, experience bleeding on the brain that causes a type of stroke called intracerebral hemorrhage.

Rates of intracerebral haemorrhage in Australia appear to be falling
A large retrospective, observational study of hospital admissions and death registrations data has shown that both the overall incidence and mortality rates of intracerebral hemorrhage -- a type of stroke -- are falling in Australia. This may be the result of widespread implementation of prevention and treatment programs, the researchers say.

For brain hemorrhage, risk of death lower at high-volume hospitals
For patients with a severe type of stroke called subarachnoid hemorrhage, treatment at a hospital that treats a high volume of subarachnoid hemorrhage cases is associated with a lower risk of death, reports a new study.

Statin use during hospitalization for hemorrhagic stroke associated with improved survival
This study was conducted by the same researchers who recently discovered that the use of cholesterol-lowering statins can improve survival in victims of ischemic stroke.

Management of anticoagulant-associated intracerebral hemorrhage
A 20-page supplement has been published, covering the current knowledge of anticoagulant-associated intracerebral hemorrhage (AAICH) and methods in use for management of the condition. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a potentially deadly form of hemorrhagic stroke. A medical emergency, ICH occurs when blood escapes into brain tissue from an injured or diseased blood vessel. Increased blood in the brain builds up pressure within the skull, which can cause unconsciousness and death.

Risk factors for hospital readmissions identified
Hospital readmission, an important measure of quality care, costs the United States an estimated $17 billion each year. And according to researchers, about half of those readmissions could be avoided. The goal of this single-center study was to identify at the time of discharge the factors that are strongly associated with readmission in patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. The study compared 79 stroke patients who were readmitted to the hospital within 30 days to 86 controls over an 18 month period.

Systolic, diastolic blood pressures predict risk of different cardiovascular diseases
Raised systolic and diastolic blood pressures may have different effects on different types of cardiovascular diseases and at different ages, according to new research involving 1.25 million patients from primary care practices. The new findings suggest that individuals with higher systolic blood pressures have a greater risk of intracerebral haemorrhage (stroke caused by bleeding within the brain tissue), subarachnoid haemorrhage (the deadliest form of stroke), and stable angina, whereas raised diastolic blood pressure is a better indicator of abdominal aortic aneurysm risk.

Tool to better screen, treat aneurysm patients
New research may help physicians better understand the chronological development of a brain aneurysm. Simplified, a cerebral aneurysm is a blood-filled bulge formed in response to a weakness in the wall at branching brain arteries. If the bulge bursts, the person can undergo a brain hemorrhage, which is a subtype of stroke and a life-threatening condition.

Can citrus ward off your risk of stroke?
Eating foods that contain vitamin C may reduce your risk of the most common type of hemorrhagic stroke, according to a new study. Vitamin C is found in fruits and vegetables such as oranges, papaya, peppers, broccoli and strawberries. Hemorrhagic stroke is less common than ischemic stroke, but is more often deadly.
