UCLA, partners get $11M to develop stroke-prevention programs for minority populations
UCLA researchers and their partners across Los Angeles County have been awarded an $11 million federal grant to fund research on community-based interventions aimed at reducing the higher rates of stroke and death from stroke among disadvantaged Hispanics, African Americans and Asian Americans.   Research has shown that stroke risk can be substantially lowered by increasing physical activity, controlling blood pressure, adopting a healthy diet, quitting smoking, lowering cholesterol and, for certain individuals, taking medication like aspirin.   However, the underserved populations targeted by this research progr...

Age and the metabolic syndrome as risk factors for ischemic stroke: improving preclinical models of ischemic stroke.
Authors: Lucke-Wold BP, Turner RC, Lucke-Wold AN, Rosen CL, Huber JD Abstract Ischemic stroke represents a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. This disabling and sometimes fatal event puts an ever increasing burden on the family members and medical professionals who care for stroke victims. Preclinical ischemic stroke research has predominantly utilized young adult, healthy animals, a clear discrepancy when considering the clinical population affected by stroke. A broad spectrum of risk factors such as age, obesity, diabetes, and hypertension has been associated with an increased stroke...

Device used to close small hole in heart may protect against recurrent stroke
A device used to close a small hole in the heart may benefit certain stroke patients by providing an extra layer of protection for those facing years of ongoing stroke risk, according to the results of a large clinical trial led by UCLA researchers.“It is a major new treatment option for some people,” said Dr. Jeffrey Saver, director of theUCLA Comprehensive Stroke Center and lead author of the study. However, he added, “Using the device is going to have to be a considered clinical decision between the doctor and the patient about who’s the right person to get it.”Thefindings appear in the Sept. 14 New England Jo...

A missing gene makes a big difference in patients ’ recovery from mild stroke
More than 6 million Americans live with disabilities following a stroke. Even mild strokes can leave survivors with arm and leg weakness, poor muscle control and memory lapses that worsen with age. Now UCLA neuroscientists have found that patients born without a gene called CCR5 recover better from mild stroke than patients with the gene. The team partnered with Israeli researchers to study the missing gene ’s effect on brain function.Published Feb. 21 in the journal Cell,  the findings could lead to the first pill to reverse the physical and mental aftermath of mild stroke.“This is the first time that a human gene h...

Effects of Age on Long-Term Functional Recovery in Patients with Stroke.
Conclusions: Long-term functional recovery occurred for up to 30 months after stroke. Patients aged ≥70 years showed functional decline between 6 and 30 months after onset. These findings could be useful when measuring functional recovery after stroke. PMID: 32906615 [PubMed - in process]
