Modified Rankin Scale Disability Status at Day 4 Poststroke is an Informative Predictor of Final Day 90 Outcome (P6.271)
Conclusions:In acute stroke patients, the 4d modified Rankin global disability assessment is highly informative regarding final 3 month mRS disability outcome, alone, and even more strongly in combination with baseline prognostic variables. The 4d mRS is a useful measure for imputing final patient disability outcome in clinical trials and quality improvement programs.Disclosure: Dr. Asanad has nothing to disclose.

Association between trace elements in the environment and stroke risk: The reasons for geographic and racial differences in stroke (REGARDS) study
Publication date: Available online 7 April 2017 Source:Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology Author(s): Peter D. Merrill, Steve B. Ampah, Ka He, Nicole J. Rembert, John Brockman, Dawn Kleindorfer, Leslie A. McClure The disparities in stroke mortality between blacks and whites, as well as the increased stroke mortality in the “stroke belt” have long been noted. The reasons for these disparities have yet to be fully explained. The association between trace element status and cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, has been suggested as a possible contributor to the disparities in stroke mortality but has ...

Neuroprotective strategies and the underlying molecular basis of cerebrovascular stroke.
Abstract Stroke is a leading cause of disability in the US. Although there has been significant progress in the area of medical and surgical thrombolytic technologies, neuroprotective agents to prevent secondary cerebral injury and to minimize disability remain limited. Only limited success has been reported in preclinical and clinical trials evaluating a variety of compounds. In this review, the authors discuss the most up-to-date information regarding the underlying molecular biology of stroke as well as strategies that aim to mitigate this complex signaling cascade. Results of historical research trials involvi...

The Bizarre Side Effect 1 In 100 People Experience During Sex
For SELF, by Zahra Barnes. As your sexual arousal ramps up on the trippy journey to orgasm, pleasure is probably the only thing on your mind. Unfortunately, for some people, pain interrupts the party. At least one percent of adults experience coital cephalalgia, or “sex headaches,” aka head pain that occurs before, during, or after orgasm. Here’s what you need to know about this condition, which is basically the unpleasant epitome of a buzzkill. Mayo Clinic spotlights two kinds of sex headaches. The first is “a dull ache in the head and neck that intensifies as sexual excitement increases,” a...

December blogs digest: the health benefits of nuts, sequencing the Iberian lynx genome, the importance of pets and more
How can we measure health behavior theories mathematically? William Riley looks at whether Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) could be expressed mathematically. He reports on his article published in Translational Behavioral Medicine in which he and co-authors developed a dynamic computational model for SCT. Magnesium deficiency and its multiple health outcomes Getting enough magnesium in your diet? A study published in BMC Medicine last month found that increased dietary magnesium is associated with a reduced risk of heart failure, stroke, diabetes, and all-cause mortality. The study was the largest of its kind to date, using ...

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Publication date: September 2016 Source:Anesthesiology Clinics, Volume 34, Issue 3 Author(s): Jeremy S. Dority, Jeffrey S. OldhamTeaser Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a debilitating, although uncommon, type of stroke with high morbidity, mortality, and economic impact. Modern 30-day mortality is as high as 40%, and about 50% of survivors have permanent disability. Care at high-volume centers with dedicated neurointensive care units is recommended. Euvolemia, not hypervolemia, should be targeted, and the aneurysm should be secured early. Neither statin therapy nor magnesium infusions should be initiated for delayed cereb...

In the Raw: To Cook or Not to Cook?
Imagine never again savoring the smell of baking cakes or charbroiled steak. Could you? Why would you? Yet some people worldwide are turning away not only from meat and processed food, but also from cooking. Welcome to the raw food diet. As the Standard American Diet becomes more fat-laden, sugar-sated, and processed, the prevalence of metabolic disorders, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are soaring. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), obesity now affects nearly 35 percent of the population of the United States, over 29 million people have been diagnosed with t...

UPDATE: How Much Vitamin D Should You Take?
Conclusions What is the sweet spot for vitamin D and longevity? All studies are in agreement: 40-50 ng/ml. If I had a (working) magic wand, I'd make this range much broader - but, there it is. Since it is narrow, let's cover the main sources of Vitamin D and figure out how you can get to the exact target. Sources of vitamin D We get vitamin D from supplements, sun and food--and in that order for most of us. Food Considering that we need thousands of IU's of vitamin D per day, food doesn't have that much. Some of the highest sources have only a few hundred units. Food sources of Vitamin D:[13] Salmon: 4 oz. = 500 IU...

Phosphate-Binding Agents in Adults With CKD: A Network Meta-analysis of Randomized Trials
Conclusions There is currently no evidence that phosphate-binder treatment reduces mortality compared to placebo in adults with CKD. It is not clear whether the higher mortality with calcium versus sevelamer reflects whether there is net harm associated with calcium, net benefit with sevelamer, both, or neither. Iron-based binders show evidence of greater phosphate lowering that warrants further examination in randomized trials.

Is the Association between Vitamin D and Metabolic Syndrome Independent of Other Micronutrients.
Authors: Khosravi-Boroujeni H, Ahmed F, Sarrafzadegan N Abstract The incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been increasing globally and it is recognized as a major public health problem because MetS is associated with increased risk of diabetes, stroke, cancer, and other chronic diseases. Recently, MetS has been linked to vitamin D deficiency. However, the evidence on the association between vitamin D deficiency and the risk of MetS remains inconclusive. This review therefore aims to depict the existing evidence related to MetS and vitamin D deficiency, and examined some of the possible confounders which may a...

Association between anti-apolipoprotein A-1 antibodies and cardiovascular disease in the general population. Results from the CoLaus study.
In conclusion, anti-apoA-1 IgG levels are independently associated with CVD in the general population and also related to CV biomarkers in secondary prevention. These findings indicate that anti-apoA-1 IgG may represent a novel CVRF and need further study in prospective cohorts. PMID: 27384400 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
