51. Study: Aspirin May Slow Cancer Spread http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/02/17/health/main6216242.shtml 2010-02-17 09:05:21 Description: CBS) Breast cancer patients who take aspirin regularly may be able t cut their risk of dying by 50 percent, according to a study by Harvard Medical School, which was published Tuesday in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. The survey from 1976 to 2006 of more than 4,000 registered nurses showed that women who took aspirin regularly (two to five days a week) cut their risk of having the cancer spread by 60 percent and reduced their risk of dying from breast cancer by 71 percent. Most of the women were taking the aspirin to reduce their risk of stroke or cardiac problems. |

52. Quarter of stroke patients die within a year-US study http://www.kyivpost.com/news/world/detail/59616/ 2010-02-15 15:04:20 Description: WASHINGTON, Feb 15 (Reuters) - One in four people who have a stroke will likely die within one year from any cause and 8 percent who have a stroke will have another one soon, U.S. researchers said on Monday. The risks were higher for African-Americans compared to whites and increased with age and the number of other ailments stroke patients had, the researchers wrote in the journal Neurology. |

53. Book Review: Daughters of the Witching Hill by Mary Sharratt http://blogcritics.org/books/article/book-review-daughters-of-the-witching/ 2010-02-13 12:02:58 Description: They call her Demdike; her name is Elizabeth Southerns, Bess to some, and she lives in Pendle Forest in Malkin Tower. She is a poor woman known to many as a healer, a blesser, but to others she is feared as a witch. In concert with her familiar spirit Tibbs, she uses her folk magic to heal the sick, both man and beast. She can foresee the future. One day her best friend Anne pleads with her to share her charms to use against a man who has taken advantage of her daughter. Reluctantly, Bess agrees, realizing only too late that her friend has harnessed the power for nefarious plans. She soon recognizes that her friend is “unstoppable." Over the years, Bess tries to pass her healing craft along to her granddaughter Alizon, a reluctant recipient. Ironically, as Alizon takes a walk one day she encounters a peddler on the road. She intends to purchase pins from him in order to mend her threadbare clothes. She becomes incensed when he refuses her — and calls her a beggar and thief. Brandishing threatening words of malice, she lashes out in anger declaring, “The Devil take your mean heart.” As the peddler proceeds along, he is felled by a stroke causing Alizon to freeze in disbelief. Could she really be the instrument of his malady? |

54. Strokes Less Common In Chocolate Eaters http://www.wfmz.com/health/22541919/detail.html 2010-02-12 12:04:08 Description: Eating chocolate may lower your risk of having a stroke, according to an analysis by researchers from McMaster University in Canada. They said in a news release that a study of nearly 45,000 people found that those who ate one serving of chocolate a week were 22 percent less likely to have a stroke than those who had no chocolate. A smaller study of more than 1,100 people found that those who had 50 grams of chocolate once a week were 46 percent less likely to die from a stroke than those who don't eat any. A third study they reviewed did not find a link between chocolate and stroke. |

55. Can chocolate lower your risk of stroke? http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2010-02/aaon-ccl020210.php 2010-02-11 15:05:07 Description: Can chocolate lower your risk of stroke? ST. PAUL, Minn. – Eating chocolate may lower your risk of having a stroke, according to an analysis of available research that will be released today and presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 62nd Annual Meeting in Toronto April 10 to April 17, 2010. Another study found that eating chocolate may lower the risk of death after suffering a stroke. The analysis involved reviewing three studies on chocolate and stroke. "More research is needed to determine whether chocolate truly lowers stroke risk, or whether healthier people are simply more likely to eat chocolate than others," said study author Sarah Sahib, BScCA, with McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Sahib worked alongside Gustavo Saposnik, MD, MSc, where the study was completed at St. Michael's Hospital and the University of Toronto. Chocolate is rich in antioxidants called flavonoids, which may have a protective effect against stroke, but more research is needed. The first study found that 44,489 people who ate one serving of chocolate per week were 22 percent less likely to have a stroke than people who ate no chocolate. The second study found that 1,169 people who ate 50 grams of chocolate once a week were 46 percent less likely to die following a stroke than people who did not eat chocolate. The researchers found only one additional relevant study in their search of all the available research. That study found no link between eating chocolate and risk of stroke or death. |

57. Pet duck teaches 4-year-old how to walk http://www.madeformums.com/toddler+/pet-duck-teaches-4-year-old-how-to-walk/5036.html 2010-02-11 09:04:35 Description: A young cerebral palsy sufferer who was unable to walk has learnt to take his first steps by copying an injured duckling. Finlay Lomax, 4, suffered a stroke when he was a baby and soon developed cerebral palsy, leaving him unable to walk. Finlay’s mum Becci has rescued a day-old duckling with a broken leg, and fitted him with a 2cm splint on his leg before nursing him back to health. Finlay was so impressed with Ming Ming the duck’s progress he began to copy his steps, saying, "I walk like the duck, mummy." |

58. Mediterranean Diet May Prevent Stroke-Related Brain Damage http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20100208/mediterranean-diet-prevent-stroke-brain-damage 2010-02-10 08:20:21 Description: Feb. 8, 2010 - Avoiding potentially dangerous silent strokes may be another health benefit of following a Mediterranean diet. A new study shows people who most closely followed a Mediterranean-style diet were 36% less likely to have areas of brain damage linked to silent strokes than those who least closely followed the diet. These areas of brain damage, called brain infarcts, are a result of silent strokes that can occur without symptoms or a person knowing it. "The relationship between this type of brain damage and the Mediterranean diet was comparable with that of high blood pressure," says researcher Nikolas Scarmeas, MD, MSc, of Columbia University Medical Center in New York, in a news release. "In this study, not eating a Mediterranean-like diet had about the same effect on the brain as having high blood pressure." The Mediterranean diet is rich in vegetables, legumes, fruits, cereals, fish, and monounsaturated fats such as those found in olive oil, dairy products, meat, and poultry, plus mild to moderate use of alcohol, especially wine. |

60. Recent Immigrants May Have Lower Risk Of Early Stroke http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/1818795/recent_immigrants_may_have_lower_risk_of_early_stroke/ 2010-02-04 12:04:25 Description: New immigrants to North America may be less likely to have a stroke at a young age than long-time residents, according to a study published in the February 3, 2010, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. For the study, researchers identified all new immigrants to Ontario, Canada, over a 12-year period and matched them to people of the same age and gender who had lived in Ontario for at least five years. A total of 966,000 new immigrants were matched to more than 3.2 million long-term residents. The participants were age 16 to 65 at the start of the study, with an average age of 34. |
