Expressions of serum adiponectin and visfatin in patients with hypertension in cerebrovascular accidents and analysis of risk factors
CONCLUSION: Serum adiponectin and visfatin were differentially expressed in patients with both hypertension and stroke. Our regression analysis revealed that serum adiponectin and visfatin were independent risk factors for stroke in patients with hypertension.PMID:36505296 | PMC:PMC9730094

Genetic loci, rs17817449 and rs6567160, known for obesity and the risk of stroke events among middle-aged and older Chinese people
ConclusionThe G allele of rs17817449 at the FTO, not rs6567160 at the MC4R, was associated with a decreased risk of fatal stroke occurrence; its functional role in stroke should be explored in relatively healthy middle-aged to older Chinese people.

Modulations of static and dynamic functional connectivity among brain networks by electroacupuncture in post-stroke aphasia
This study aimed to investigate the PSA-related effects of EA stimulation at HT5 and GB39 on neural processing. Thirty-five participants were recruited, including 19 patients with PSA and 16 healthy controls (HCs). The BOLD signal was analyzed by static independent component analysis, generalized psychophysiological interactions, and dynamic independent component analysis, considering variables such as age, sex, and years of education.ResultsThe results revealed that PSA showed activated clusters in the left putamen, left postcentral gyrus (PostCG), and left angular gyrus in the salience network (SN) compared to the HC gro...

Medication non-adherence and associated factors among older adult stroke survivors in China
Conclusion: The present study found that patient medication adherence among older adult stroke survivors in China is problematic and associated with educational levels, total prescribed drugs per day, beliefs about medication, and health literacy scores. This indicates that measures should be taken to enhance medication adherence among such higher-risk populations.
