NEW YORK - FOR people aged 50 and 64 years, being wealthy seems to protect them against having a stroke, according to new research. After age 65, however, wealth appears to make little difference in stroke risk. 'We confirmed that lower wealth, education and income are associated with increased stroke up to age 65, and wealth is the strongest predictor of stroke among the factors we looked at,' Dr Mauricio Avendano, who was involved in the research, noted in a written statement. 'After age 65, the association of education, income and wealth with stroke are very weak, and wealth did not clearly predict stroke,' said Dr Avendano, of Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Each year about 780,000 Americans suffer strokes; about 27 per cent of strokes occur before age 65, accord

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours of the occurrence. That is hard as not anyone can recognize the signs of a stroke. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke .Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking the person suspected of having a stroke to do three simple tasks. S * Ask the individual to SMILE. The person should be able to smile. Ask the person to stick out his tongue. If the tongue is crooked or favors a side, that is not good. T * Ask the person to TA

Owning a cat can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by more than a third. Having a cat helps to relieve stress and anxiety, protecting against heart disease by lowering blood pressure and reducing your heart rate.
A study examined almost 4,500 adults, about half of whom owned a cat. The findings showed that 3.4 percent of the cat owners died from a heart attack over 10 years. The rate was 5.8 percent for the group who had never owned a cat.The findings held even when researchers took account of other factors such as high cholesterol levels, smoking and diabetes.

Psychological stress, but not depression, may increase the risk of stroke, according to a study published in the current issue of Neurology®. Previous studies have shown that stroke often leads to depression, but the evidence was mixed as to whether depression could lead to stroke. "Stroke is among the leading causes of long-term disability and death worldwide," said study author Paul Surtees, PhD, of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. "Understanding the mechanisms by which overall emotional health may increase stroke risk may inform stroke prevention and help identify those at increased stroke risk." Researchers studied 20,627 people who had never suffered a stroke for an average of 8.5 years. Participants answered questions concerning their psychological distress, bas
Do you have habit of sleeping during the day i.e., daytime dozing? If yes, be careful! One recent research has shown that risk of stroke was two to four-times greater in those with moderate dozing habits. Researchers have zeroed in what they call a "novel risk factor" for stroke, especially among the elderly: dozing during the day. The study was done by the researchers at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons.image by markhillaryAccording to the study's lead author Bernadette Boden-Albala, this suggests that daytime dozing" may be an important and noval stroke risk factor". Findings of the study were reported at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2008.Among the study's 2,153 participants, the risk of stroke was seen to be 2.6 times greater

(HealthDay News) -- Therapies that attack blood clots directly in the brain may benefit ischemic stroke patients who don't respond to the standard treatment using clot-busting drugs.So says a U.S. study that was to have been presented Tuesday at the 20th annual International Symposium on Endovascular Therapy, in Hollywood, Fla.Ischemic strokes -- which account for about 83 percent of strokes -- occur when a small clot blocks an artery in the brain and halts blood flow, according to the American Stroke Association. If the clot isn't cleared and blood flow restored, the patient will suffer permanent brain damage or death."Often patients who fail to improve with standard intravenous (IV) stroke therapy aren't given the chance to succeed with more advanced intra-arterial (IA) therapy, because

Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA), or mini strokes occur when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked temporarily. With a TIA, the blockage, usually a blood clot, sticks in place long enough to cause symptoms, and then moves on and is absorbed by the body without any further damage.
It’s big brother, the stroke, occurs when the blockage doesn’t pass and blood flow to that part of the brain is suppressed long enough to cause major damage. Depending on the area of the brain that loses blood flow, different symptoms can occur that range anywhere from weakness or paralysis, usually on one side, to trouble or inability to speak, to complete inability to function which can lead to death.
The TIA should be considered a lucky stroke, a shot across the bow so to speak. If ignored, a TIA is usually a precursor to a stroke. The warning should not be taken lightly.
According to the American Stroke Association, symptoms of a TIA:

And we tell about the environmental friendliness of North American colleges and universities.American researchers say they have developed a simple test that can tell if a person with heart disease is likely to suffer a heart attack. The researchers say the test measures levels of a protein in the blood. They say people with high levels of the protein are at high risk of heart attack, heart failure or stroke.Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo of the University of California in San Francisco led the team of researchers. They studied almost one thousand patients with heart disease for almost four years. During that time, more than two hundred fifty of the patients suffered a heart attack, heart failure or stroke.

Carotid artery blockages, such as the one Senator Kennedy had removed, are a significant risk factor for stroke but many do not know that they have the life-threatening condition. Doppler ultrasound screening is a successful tool for revealing blocked carotid arteries prior to the onset of a stroke and before death or disability occurs. Life Line Screening, the nation's leading provider of mobile vascular screening, including carotid artery screening, has identified nearly 100,000 people with seriously blocked carotid arteries who had no symptoms at the time of the screening.Click here to see the rest of this article in Medical News Todaypermalink TechnoratiPhilippine Nursing http://Philippinenursing.blogspot.com

bFor Strokes from Blockage/bbr /br /
Most strokes occur when a blood vessel in the
brain is blocked and blood flow stops. This
type of stroke is called an ischemic (iss-KEYmik) stroke. The blockage may be caused by
a blood clot, and severe brain swelling may
result. Life-saving surgery may be necessary
to remove the clot and the brain tissue that
has died from lack of oxygen.br /br /
A blockage also can occur when the artery
itself narrows. A harmful fatty deposit, called
plaque (PLAK), may build up in an artery
and then block it. Sometimes clots form,
which can then break off and travel to block
another artery in the brain. Some patients can
be helped by a procedure called angioplasty
(AN-jee-oh-plass-tee). During the procedure,
a tiny balloon at the end of a long, thin tube
is pushed through the artery to the blockage.
When the balloon is inflated, it opens the
artery. In

Every year, more than 750,000 Americans experience a stroke, and one-third of them are under the age of 65. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States and a leading cause of adult disability. Yet, we know that stroke is one of the most preventable of all life-threatening diseases. Stroke prevention is a key element in reducing the number of strokes in this country. A stroke, or brain attack, occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted by a blood clot or a broken blood vessel. This lack of oxygen kills brain cells in the immediate area, often causing physical and emotional disabilities including speech problems, memory loss, and paralysis. Risk factors for stroke are conditions that may make a person more likely to suffer a stroke. The two primary types of risk factors are those that are controllable and those that are not. Uncontrollable stroke risk factors include being over age 55, being male, being African-American, having diabetes and having a family his
