551. Trial Finds No Survival Benefit in GKI Therapy for Patients With ... http://www.docguide.com/news/content.nsf/news/852571020057CCF6852572800051C992 2007-02-12 12:08:05 Description: Trial Finds No Survival Benefit in GKI Therapy for Patients With Acute Stroke: Presented at ISC By Ed Susman SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- February 12, 2007 -- Glucose/potassium/insulin (GKI) therapy to correct hyperglycemia in patients with acute stroke did not appear to improve outcomes of patients in a controlled clinical trial in the United Kingdom, researchers said here at the 2007 International Stroke Conference (ISC). Among the 464 acute stroke patients who were treated with the GKI formula to normalize blood sugar levels in the trial, 30% died within 90 days compared with 27.3% among 469 patients who were randomized to receive saline solution (P = .37), reported Christopher Gray, MD, professor of clinical geriatric medicine, University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, United Kingdom. |

552. Robotic exoskeleton replaces muscle work http://www.huliq.com/10247/robotic-exoskeleton-replaces-muscle-work 2007-02-09 15:05:50 Description: Robotic exoskeleton replaces muscle work Similar Stories New process for fabricating microstructures from protein Poised for a high-profile role in biomedicine Model shows big body of water in Earth's mantle Planetary scientist says: Focus on Europa People willing to wait for money rewards over othersA robotic exoskeleton controlled by the wearer's own nervous system could help users regain limb function, which is encouraging news for people with partial nervous system impairment, say University of Michigan researchers. The ankle exoskeleton developed at U-M was worn by healthy subjects to measure how the device affected ankle function. The U-M team has no plans to build a commercial exoskeleton, but their results suggest promising applications for rehabilitation and physical therapy, and a similar approach could be used by other groups who do build such technology. "This could benefit stroke patients or patients with incomplete injuries of the spinal cord," said Daniel Ferris, associate professor in movement science at U-M. "For patients that can walk slowly, a brace like this may help them walk faster and more effectively." |

553. Neonatal Stroke Patients Fall Behind Other Children at School ... http://www.docguide.com/news/content.nsf/news/852571020057CCF68525727D0050EBE0 2007-02-09 12:07:20 Description: Neonatal Stroke Patients Fall Behind Other Children at School: Presented at ISC By Ed Susman SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- February 9, 2007 -- Children who suffer neonatal strokes appear to develop normally until they reach grade school, when they show significant differences in cognitive tests, researchers said here at the 2007 International Stroke Conference (ISC). "These neonatal strokes are more common than most people realize," said Robyn Westmacott, PhD, assistant professor of neurology, University of Toronto, Ontario Canada. Dr. Westmacott and colleagues are following children who suffered neonatal strokes, defined as a brain attack that occurs in the first 28 days of life. Dr. Westmacott said the strokes occur in about 1 of every 2,500 to about 1 in every 4,000 live births. |

554. Stroke Symptoms May Differ in Women http://www.webmd.com/content/article/131/118169.htm 2007-02-08 18:06:42 Description: Stroke Symptoms May Differ in Women Women Less Likely to Report Classic Symptoms By Charlene Laino WebMD Medical News Reviewed By Louise Chang, MD on Thursday, February 08, 2007 More From WebMD Can You Have a Stroke and Not Know It? Men More Likely to Die From Stroke Stroke Education Made Beautiful Feb. 8, 2007 (San Francisco) -- Female strokestroke victims are less likely to report classic stroke symptoms than men -- one possible explanation for why they aren't as likely to get a crucial stroke drug. The new research found that female stroke victims are 33% less likely to report a classic stroke symptom when they arrive at the emergency room than their male counterparts. |

555. Carotid Artery Surgery Brings Higher Than Expected Risk http://www.therapeuticsdaily.com/news/article.cfm?contenttype=sentryarticle&contentvalue=1233483&cha nnelID=26 2007-02-08 15:06:17 Description: Carotid Artery Surgery Brings Higher Than Expected Risk HealthDay - Feb. 08, 2007 THURSDAY, Feb. 8 (HealthDay News) -- A procedure designed to clear blockages from the neck's carotid arteries appears to be riskier in real life than it seemed in clinical trails, researchers report. The procedure, called carotid endarterectomy, "is the most common surgery performed to prevent stroke," noted study author Dr. Seemant Chaturvedi, a professor of neurology and director of the Wayne State University Stroke Program in Detroit. "Previous studies have found that the risk/benefit ratio of the surgery is fairly narrow. There is a fine line of providing benefit to the patient and not providing benefit," he said. |

556. Hair salons raise stroke awareness http://www.localnewsleader.com/elytimes/stories/index.php?action=fullnews&id=58053 2007-02-07 18:05:16 Description: Hair salons raise stroke awareness Staff and agencies 07 February, 2007 By MARILYNN MARCHIONE, AP Medical Writer 2 hours, 43 minutes ago SAN FRANCISCO - Two women in Cincinnati had better leave big tips the next time they get their hair done. One stylist noticed that a woman‘s speech was slurred, and called for help. Another woman called her hairdresser weeks after having been in the shop, describing symptoms she was having. Beauticians and barbers increasingly are being used like churches to spread the word about stroke, cancer and other diseases. What they can do may be as important as any doctor, drug or diagnostic test. "By far the biggest reason is people delay going into the hospital because they don‘t know the signs or realize it‘s an emergency," Kleindorfer said. Why beauty shops? Doctors trained the stylists, who then quizzed nearly 400 of their customers on stroke knowledge, talked with them as they did their hair, and sent them home with wallet cards with the stroke warning signs. Customers were surveyed again at follow-up appointments roughly six weeks and five months later. Awareness of the need to immediately call 911 improved. But knowledge of stroke risk factors — high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and smoking — did not. |

557. Robot Hand May Speed Stroke Recovery http://www.healthcentral.com/newsdetail/408/601664.html 2007-02-07 15:06:11 Description: Robot Hand May Speed Stroke Recovery It helps patients regain ability to grasp, pinch objects, designers say By Steven Reinberg HealthDay Reporter WEDNESDAY, Feb. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Robot technology is giving debilitated stroke patients a helping hand -- literally. Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, say a robotic hand is helping patients regain strength and movement so they can perform simple acts such as grasping and releasing objects. "Robots may help patients reduce disability after stroke," said lead researcher Dr. Steven C. Cramer, an associate professor of neurology, anatomy and neurobiology. "People who had weakness months to years after stroke were able to have better movement in their arm and hand as a result of the robot therapy." |

558. Ending Aspirin Therapy May Triple Stroke Risk http://paktribune.com/news/index.shtml?167896 2007-02-03 18:04:06 Description: ISLAMABAD: When stroke survivors who are prescribed daily aspirin stop taking the drug, they may triple their risk of a having another stroke within days, research shows. Strokes associated with stopping aspirin therapy "typically occur in eight to 10 days after stopping aspirin," says Patrik Michel, MD, a stroke researcher from the Lausanne University Hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland |

By making a commitment to yourself, you can become the "number one me" you have always wanted, Berger says. Wilmington, DE (PRWeb) February 3, 2007 -- The numbers are scary. Heart disease and stroke kill one in every 3.7 men, and one in every 2.4 women, making cardiovascular disease the nation's number one killer and leading President Bush to declare February as American Heart Month. |

NEW: Study finds genetic link between women and heart disease http://www.insidebayarea.com/argus/localnews/ci_5136187 2007-02-01 18:05:24 Description: certain gene variant may make women more susceptible to developing heart disease, researchers at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute reported Thursday. The findings could help clarify the role inflammation plays in heart attacks and stroke, the researchers reported. Scientists identified the variant of a gene called Leukotriene C4 Synthase, LTC4S. It had previously been associated with asthma. |
