Striking a balance: Charlie ’s recovery from neonatal stroke
“Hey, Charlie,” says Dr. Michael Rivkin as he gently dangles a small rubber ducky in front of the little boy. “Would you like this?” A wide smile breaks out across the toddler’s face. Why yes, he certainly would like that duck. He reaches and grasps at it, closing his tiny fingers around the toy.
For Charlie Strzempek, it’s nothing more than a playful act. But for his parents, Kathleen and Tom, it’s a major accomplishment. Dr. Rivkin isn’t simply offering his patient a toy. He’s testing his ability to grab and hold an object in his right hand — the side of his body affected by a neonatal stroke.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO), stroke and pregnancy
Patent foramen ovale (PFO)-related stroke is increasingly recognized as an important etiology of ischemic embolic stroke—accounting for up to 50% of strokes previously considered ‘cryptogenic’ or with an unknown mechanism. As a ‘back door to the brain,’ PFO can allow venous clots to enter arterial circulation via interatrial right-to-left shunting, potentially resulting in ischemic stroke. We observe that clinically, PFO-related stroke affects women of childbearing age, and that pregnancy—owing to major changes in hemocoagulative, hormonal, and cardiovascular parameters—can enhance...

When Stroke Happens... at Age 27
Ever wonder what it's like to experience a stroke? Avid runner Emily Welbourn blogs about the day she had a stroke while running a race. At the sound of the starting gun, I charge forward with the other runners selected from around the world. In spite of being at peak physical health, I slowly realize my pace isn't sustainable. The one-mile marker is now ahead, I've got this. Just keep moving. Suddenly I am stabbed above the eyebrow...but no one is within arm's reach. Blindsided, I squeeze my eyes shut for a moment to tamper the pain, and the invisible knife is dragged across the top of my head down to my neck. Never i...

Get Rid of Toxins to Reduce Risk of Stroke
Effects of Toxins
I’ve been warning you about the toxins in our environment for years.
They cause inflammation…
They make you gain weight…
They cause you to feel fatigued…
Our exposure to them starts before we’re even born.
One study found 287 chemicals and toxins in the blood of newborn babies.1 It’s shocking.
What is in the air we breathe?
We breathe in toxins and air pollutants every day. Carbon dioxide, lead, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter (PM).
Causes of Stroke
Now, a new study reveals that air pollution is responsible for as many as one-third of all strokes.2 That’...

Hospitalization for stroke in U.S. hospitals, 1989-2009.
Authors: Hall MJ, Levant S, DeFrances CJ
Abstract
Stroke remains one of the most significant U.S. health problems (6). Although the stroke hospitalization rate has declined, in 2009 there were still almost 1 million hospitalizations for stroke. Many stroke patients, upon discharge, went to another short-stay hospital or a long-term care institution. In addition, outpatient or in-home services (including rehabilitation) are often provided to those who have had a stroke, to prevent future strokes and to restore functioning (6,7). In 2011, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced its "Million Hearts"...

Umbilical cord thrombosis and chorioamnionitis in neonatal arterial ischaemic stroke
A baby boy was delivered at term by emergency caesarean section because of abnormal fetal heart rate patterns during spontaneous labour. The umbilical cord arterial blood obtained at delivery had a pH of 6.97 and a lactate concentration of 12.1 mmol/L. The Apgar scores were 3 and 7, respectively, at 1 and 5 min. The proximal umbilical cord had a thrombotic aspect at delivery (figure 1). A thrombus was also identified in the ductus venosus at 1 hour of life. The boy presented left hemicorporeal seizures at 21 hours of life, which revealed a neonatal arterial ischaemic stroke (NAIS; figure 2). Placental histology revealed ac...

New Data From Two Large Studies Reinforce Effectiveness of Dual Pathway Inhibition (DPI) with XARELTO ® (rivaroxaban) Plus Aspirin in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and/or Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
RARITAN, N.J., May 23, 2022 – Findings from the XARELTO® (rivaroxaban) Phase 3 COMPASS Long-Term Open Label Extension (LTOLE) study and the XARELTO® in Combination with Acetylsalicylic Acid (XATOA) registry have been published in the European Society of Cardiology’s (ESC) European Heart Journal, Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy.
