(File) AP 1 of 1 Close numSlides of totalImages Coffee may lower your risk of suffering a stroke, recent research indicates. The National Institutes of Health study was done at the UCLA Stroke Center, The Early Show Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton said Monday. It "looked at 20,000 people, coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers," Ashton told co-anchor Julie Chen, "and found that those who drink coffee have fewer strokes and that stroke risk actually decreased the more coffee they drank."

REUTERS/Newscom CHICAGO (Reuters) - Scientists have found important genetic differences that significantly raise the risk of stroke, and they are found in millions of people. The study is the first to identify common genetic variants influencing stroke risk in the United States and may lead to better treatments, they reported on Wednesday. While other stroke-related genes have been discovered, none involved such a wide portion of the population, said Eric Boerwinkle of The University of Texas Health Science Center.

Description: Portuguese researchers have identified a vital component of olive oil that gives greatest protection from heart attack and stroke. Lead researcher Fatima Paiva-Martins from University of Porto has discovered an antioxidant called DHPEA-EDA that protects red blood cells from damage more than any other part of olive oil. “These findings provide the scientific basis for the clear health benefits that have been seen in people who have olive oil in their diet,” said Paiva-Martins.

158. Electronic Cigarette Gaining in Popularity

Description: Boston (HealthKnowItAll) - For those people who want to try to quit smoking, why not try the battery powered nicotine cigarette? Smoking accounts for millions of deaths each year, from a multitude of different causes including lung cancer, heart disease and stroke. People smoke for the nicotine fix that they get, and the act of smoking has proven to be one of the hardest habits to break. The little devices, which are taking the world by storm, are cost-effective, and are becoming a crutch for those desperate to quit the nasty habit. The electronic smokes work similarly to actual ciggies, but offer a lower dose nicotine jolt, thus a person can ween themselves off the drug gradually while still smoking.

Description: New research into stroke recovery could change the way stroke victims are rehabilitated. Waikato University PhD student Margaret Dudley is a neuropsychologist who’s been studying the impact of attention process training in early recovery from strokes. She’s working on the Health Research Council funded Stroke Attention Rehabilitation Trial (START) project, which is led by University of Auckland researcher Dr Suzanne Barker-Collo. SEARCH NZ JOBS AVIS: First day Free in Autumn Search New Zealand Business Dudley says the research will examine psychological aspects of recovery, in this case attention training, which is thought to be hugely important in the early stages of recovery. She has received a Health Research Council Clinical Research Training Fellowship of $150,000 over two years to complete her study for her PhD. “Stroke rehabilitation is currently more physically based - learning to walk, dress and regain movement,” says Dudley. “There hasn’t been a focus on rehabilitation for cognition, but recovery all starts with the brain”.

160. SFU invention goes to market

Description: Kinesiologist Andy Hoffer’s Neurostep—a device that dramatically improves the walking gait of people with disabilities such as hemiplegia and footdrop—will soon be on the market in Europe. The pacemaker-like device is implanted inside the thigh and uses nerve cuffs to sense and stimulate nerve activity in the paralyzed leg. It gives greater mobility to those suffering from neurological disabilities such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury or cerebral palsy. In 1997, Hoffer created an SFU spin-off company, Neurostream Technologies, to commercialize the technology. Victhom Human Bionics bought the company in 2004 and recently obtained Europe’s CE Mark approval for the Neurostep™ System, the first approval of its kind for a closed-loop system (CLS) that uses signals sensed directly from peripheral nerves. With the approval, Victhom can now market the Neurostep in Europe and develop patient-training activities for hospitals and physicians
