Inflammatory Response Following Hemorrhagic Stroke: The Role of Cytokines
<p>Hemorrhagic stroke is a dangerous form of stroke resulting from the rupturing of weakened blood vessels, releasing blood that increases intracranial pressure and causes the death of surrounding tissue. Treatment options are improving but remain limited, as evidenced by this condition being …

An injectable, biomaterial-based therapy to promote endogenous neural progenitor cells in a hemorrhagic stroke lesion
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability worldwide with prevalence and resulting costs projected to increase. There are few available treatments, and their applicability is limited to the type of stroke and the initial hours after onset. New treatments are needed to address …

Upper extremity functioning during the first year after stroke
… functioning during the first year after stroke from different perspectives. Methods. All patients with first ever stroke, admitted to a stroke unit within 72 hours after stroke incidence were included during a period of 18 months. The prevalence of impaired upper extremity function was …

A Paper-Based Elisa Device for the Rapid Detection of Ischemic Stroke
<p>Diagnosing an ischemic stroke quickly and accurately is essential for appropriate treatment and results in more effective management of the stroke, leading to better patient outcomes. Specifically, the determination of ischemic versus hemorrhagic stroke leads to critically different treatment …

Vascular Reactivity by Blood Oxygen Level Dependent Functional MRI in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy: Comparison with Alzheimer's Disease and Assessment of Longitudinal Change
… in the brains small blood vessels leading to hemorrhagic stroke and cognitive impairment. Aβ is toxic to smooth muscle cells and impairs blood flow regulation. Reduced blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal amplitude in response to a visual fMRI task has recently been implicated as a …

Improving Stroke Documentation on a Stroke Unit
… aim of this project is to improve adherence of stroke documentation per stroke protocols on a stroke unit at an acute hospital setting through nursing education and EPIC modifications. A comprehensive retrospective data collection was done to determine the inconsistencies of nursing …

Effect of Extreme Temperature on Stroke Incidence and Mortality in General
Background: Stroke is a leading global cause of mortality and disability. Recent studies have emphasized the growing impact of extreme temperatures, both heatwaves and cold spells on stroke incidence and mortality, a concern heightened by climate change. This systematic literature review …

Identifying Observational and Causal Factors for Cardiovascular Diseases through Large-scale Cohorts
… examine and compare risk factors for subtypes of stroke. To elucidate the observational and causal associations of kidney function with stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD). To perform Mendelian randomization (MR) using transcriptomic and proteomic data on CHD. To develop race- and sex- …

Inpatient Stroke rehabilitation: Ethnic and Psychosocial Predictors of Recovery Outcome
… disability, and increase the risk of mortality. Stroke or cerebral vascular accident (CVA) has been identified as one of such diseases by the Centers for Disease Control (2007). Past literature has identified disparities between ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other diseases in the recovery …

Short-term and Long-term Exposure to Air pollution and Stroke risk
Background: Stroke is a major cause of mortality and morbidity across the world. Air pollution has become an acknowledged risk factor for stroke, especially for acute effects. There is less support for effects by chronic exposure due to the methodological challenges inherent in such studies. Such …

Fully Integrated Modular and Mixed-Scale Systems for Processing the Molecular Cargo of Liquid Biopsy Markers
… motherboard for identifying ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. The system could select stroke-associated EVs, harvest total RNA from the lysed EVs, and expression profile the exo-mRNA to diagnose ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke at the point-of-need. Here we demonstrated control of fluid flow …

MAPK and pro-inflammatory mediators in the walls of brain blood vessels following cerebral ischemia
INTRODUCTION Stroke is a serious neurological disease which may lead to death and severe disability [1, 2]. There are two major types of stroke: ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Both are associated with disruption of blood flow to a part of the brain with rapid depletion of cellular energy and …
