Description: Study suggests eating fish regularly is good for the brain TOOLS Email this story to a friend Printer-friendly Version By CARLA K. JOHNSON Associated Press Writer CHICAGO - Eating fish at least once a week is good for the brain, slowing age-related mental decline by the equivalent of three to four years, a study suggests. The research adds to the growing evidence that a fish-rich diet helps keep the mind sharp. Previous studies found that people who ate fish lowered their risk of Alzheimer's disease and stroke. Fish such as salmon and tuna that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids also have been shown to prevent heart disease

Description: Fri Oct 7,11:26 AM ET NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A driving simulator similar to flight simulators used to train pilots can help people re-learn to drive after suffering a stroke. Nearly 75 percent of stroke patients trained on the simulator were able to pass an official driving test, compared with 42 percent of patients who completed standard training, Dr. Abiodun Akinwuntan of the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta and colleagues in Belgium report. The driving simulator, developed by Akinwuntan

Description: Children and stroke � Sunday, September 25, 2005 At least one child every day in Canada suffers a stroke�, reports the Vancouver Sun Newspaper. Neurologist, Gabrielle Devebeh director of the Canadian Pediatric Ischemic Stroke Registry says that child stroke victims must receive immediate treatment, or they will have �bigger strokes and more neurological damage.� According to the newspaper, �clot-busters must be administered within three hours of the onset of stroke.� But childhood strokes �are often misdiagnosed as seizures or migraines.� The paper notes that symptoms indicating stroke �include numbness or weakness, particularly on one side of the body, confusion, impaired speech, loss of vision, dizziness and sudden, severe headache.� Youthful strokes can be triggered by certain treatment for heart disease and cancer, and some experts suspect that �child obesity and diets high in fats may also be risk factors.�

Description: new drug to prevent brain damage in stroke victims was licensed by the Medical College of Wisconsin Research Foundation to Taisho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The new treatment was co-developed in the laboratories of Richard Roman, Ph.D., and David R Harder, professors of physiology at the Medical College, in cooperation with Taisho scientists. The Research Foundation awarded Taisho exclusive, world-wide rights to further develop and commercialize the drug. Dr. Roman, director of the Medical College's Kidney Center and a member of its Cardiovascular Research Center, and Taisho scientists have been working together testing the new drug for its effect on brain tissue protection shortly after a stroke. The drug helps control blood vessel dilation which can result in saving brain tissue from damage. Taisho has collaborated with Dr. Roman and funded research in his laboratory toward this end. "The drug will now enter the path toward approval for use in humans by the FDA," explains William Hendee, Ph.D., president of the College's Research Foundation.

Above , shows the patient's affected vision. He sees only the child, the rest of his visual field is blurred. This corresponds to the graph. The white squares show clear vision, black squares show no vision. The grey squares show the residual vision. That's what this device does. It can help stroke victims, who have lost some of their sight, to see better. People like Mr Vijaya Kumar, 44, who is hoping to have his former vision restored - without any surgery. NovaVision's Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT) is a non-invasive device which works on training the brain's partially damaged neurons to work better.

Description: IMPORTANT Internet helps speed stroke therapy in rural areas Thu Sep 22, 2005 7:56 PM BST Printer Friendly | Email Article | RSS By Anthony J. Brown, MD NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - An internet-based network that allows doctors in rural hospitals to consult a stroke expert in real-time can hasten the delivery of clot-busting drugs to treat stroke patients, new research indicates. With the network, known as REACH, doctors at eight rural hospitals in Georgia were able to immediately consult a stroke expert at the Medical College of Georgia (MCG). The system, which incorporates a video feed, allows the consultant to examine the patient and view the CT scan and then decide if treatment with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is needed. A previous report has shown that stroke care at rural hospitals often does not follow published guidelines and that tPA is used infrequently.

Description: Chronic Age Related Condition Seniors with giant cell arteritis - a chronic inflammatory condition of medium and large arteries - are twice as likely to have a heart attack or stroke compared to adults without this condition, says new University of Toronto research. "The artery that you can feel pulsating on one side of your temple - the temporal artery - is the classic area where giant cell arteritis (GCA) occurs," says Dr. Joel Ray, a professor of medicine at U of T and a clinician-scientist at St. Michael's Hospital. "Definitive signs of inflammation are found in this tender, red, sore area of the artery. Some people who get GCA have involvement of the arteries that supply the brain, heart or main aorta itself, which can be quite devastating, leading to a stroke or heart attack."
