Description: Associated Press WASHINGTON -- Drugs prescribed to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder will include guides to alert patients and parents of the risks of mental and heart problems, including sudden death. The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that it directed the manufacturers of Ritalin, Adderall, Strattera and all other ADHD drugs to develop the guides. In May 2006, the agency told manufacturers to revise the labels of the drugs to reflect concerns about the cardiovascular and psychiatric problems. Draft versions of the guides posted on the FDA Web site include discussion of reports of increased blood pressure and heart rate in ADHD patients, as well as cases of sudden death in some who have heart problems and heart defects. In adult patients, the reported problems also include stroke and heart attack.

Description: Warning for Those Using Contraceptive Patches Monday, Feb 19, 2007 - 11:03 PM Amy Kibler Send e-mail Producer Email to a Friend Printer Friendly Researchers are warning about a health risk for women using the contraceptive patch. A new study says women using the patch are twice as likely to develop dangerous blood clots as women who are using the pill. Doctors have linked oral contraceptives to health risks including stroke, blood clots and heart attack. Now, they are trying to figure out if those using the patch run the same risks.

Description: The American Heart Association is out with a warning that nearly every woman in the country is at risk of heart disease or stroke. And they say it's time for women to take more action to cut those risks. In new guidelines out today, the association calls on women to talk to their doctors about possibly taken aspirin every day. They're also urging exercising at least half-an-hour each day, and eating a diet with less fat. The experts say women should be eating lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grain and high-fiber foods. Fish should be on the menu at least twice a week. And there's disappointment for anyone thinking vitamins C and E, beta carotene and folic acid supplements will prevent heart disease. The experts say they won't.

Description: Taylor Media Services) According to a study presented at last week's International Stroke Conference (ISC) in San Francisco, the risk of African American children suffering a stroke is double that for white children or for children of Asian or Hispanic descent. Dr. Heather Fullerton reached her conclusions by studying records from 16 hospitals in the northern California area. The stroke rate in white children, after adjusting for age, was 2.62 per 100,000 children; the rate was 6.08 per 100,000 for blacks; 3.20 per 100,000 for Hispanic children and 3.07 per 100,000 for Asian children. Officials think diet may be a factor. But they were unable to determine the exact reasons for the disparity.

Description: INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Indianapolis researches say getting patients to understand depression was part of a highly effective treatment plan for post-stroke depression. "Post-stroke depression, which may be the result of a combination of chemical changes in the brain that impair its ability to repair itself as well as functional changes which inhibit social interaction and activity, occurs in about a third of all stroke survivors," said Dr. Linda Williams, associate professor of neurology and a Regenstrief Institute research scientist. "Depression after stroke is associated with higher death rates, diminished recovery, increased risk for subsequent stroke and other cardiovascular incidents, and greater health-care utilization," she said.

Description: THURSDAY, Feb. 15 (HealthDay News) -- Strong religious faith may help reduce emotional distress that can hinder recovery from stroke, Italian research shows. The study included 132 stroke survivors (median age 72) who were interviewed about their religious beliefs and spirituality. Lower levels of belief/spirituality were associated with higher levels of depression and anxiety. The reason for this association is not clear, but one possibility is that religiously active people may have more social support, the study authors said. "Religious people who are active in their communities are more likely to receive external aid that can be provided by volunteers," Dr. Salvatore Giaquinto, chairman of the department of rehabilitation at the San Raffaele Pisana Rehabilitation Center in Rome, said in a prepared statement.

Description: Low Blood Pressure Increases Stroke Risk in Kidney Disease Patients WASHINGTON, DC -- February 14, 2007 -- For patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the risk of stroke is increased with low blood pressure as well as high blood pressure, reports a study in the March Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. "Our study confirmed that individuals with CKD and elevated blood pressure are at increased risk of stroke," says Daniel E. Weiner, MD, of Tufts-New England Medical Center, Boston. "Further, we found that individuals with the lowest systolic blood pressures and moderate kidney disease are also at risk of stroke - even compared to CKD patients with slightly higher blood pressure."
