Stroke prevention

open access: yesNeurology, 2019
Despite considerable advances to reduce the burden of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases, these remain major causes of morbidity and mortality at the population level. Guidelines have delineated contributory causes for both stroke and coronary artery disease and have identified avenues for prevention.1,2 However, in spite of the clear need to ...

Structure–Function Decoupling of the Sensorimotor and Default Mode Networks in Black Americans With MS

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Multiple sclerosis (MS) exhibits racially disparate rates of disease progression. Black people with MS (B‐PwMS) experience a more severe disease course than non‐Hispanic White people with MS (NHW‐PwMS). Here we investigated structural and functional connectivity as well as structure–function decoupling in the ...

Complementarity of Long‐Reads and Optical Mapping in Parkinson's Disease for Structural Variants

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Long‐read sequencing and optical genome mapping technologies have the ability to detect large and complex structural variants. This has led to the discovery of novel pathogenic variants in neurodegenerative movement disorders. Thus, we aimed to systematically compare the SV detection capabilities of OGM and ONT in Parkinson's disease.

Using routinely acquired electronic patients records (EPRs) and brain imaging to study novel risk factors for vascular dementia in older hospital patients

open access: yesCerebral Circulation - Cognition and Behavior
Introduction: Delirium and infection are risk factors for dementia, with infection more strongly linked to vascular than Alzheimer's-type dementia. It is unclear whether regional atrophy and white matter changes (WMC) of vascular origin modify these ...

Changing stroke mortality trends in middle-aged people: an age-period-cohort analysis of routine mortality data in persons aged 40 to 69 in England [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: In the UK, overall stroke mortality has declined. A similar trend has been seen in coronary heart disease, although recent reports suggest this decline might be levelling off in middle-aged adults.

Location‐Specific Hematoma Volume Predicts Early Neurological Deterioration in Supratentorial ICH

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Early neurological deterioration (END) adversely affects outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study aimed to determine the location‐specific hematoma volumes for END in supratentorial ICH patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed supratentorial ICH patients presenting from two prospective cohorts.

Potential of earlier primary care health checks for prevention of cardiovascular events in younger age groups: population-based study in the United Kingdom

open access: yesBMC Medicine
Background Incidence of stroke and certain cancers is increasing at younger ages in many high-income countries, prompting healthcare systems to consider how best to improve prevention, such as earlier primary care health checks.

Health Care Use and Expenditures Associated With Cardiac Rehabilitation Among Eligible Medicare Fee‐for‐Service Beneficiaries

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) can improve cardiovascular health. We identified whether CR participation was associated with fewer subsequent inpatient hospitalizations and emergency department visits and less Medicare and out‐of‐pocket ...

The Use of Antihypertensive and Antiplatelet Drugs on Hospital Stroke Patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Medicine is one of the most important part of the healing process, the restoration of health and prevention of disease. This study aims to describe the use of drugs, particularly antihypertensive and antiplatelet drugs in stroke patients hospitalized in ...
