Description: Study: Aspirin Beats Warfarin For Blocked Brain Arteries POSTED: 6:00 pm EST March 30, 2005 New research suggests people at risk of developing strokes caused by narrowed arteries in the brain should consider aspirin instead of a common anticlotting drug. STROKE Facts Symptoms Risk Factors RESOURCES Are You At Risk? National Stroke Association Stroke Center Reducing Your Risk A national study found that aspirin worked just as well as warfarin in stroke patients with narrowed brain arteries. More than 500 patients at 59 sites across the country were studied. Those on warfarin, which is marketed as Coumadin, suffered a higher death rate and more major bleeding compared to those who took aspirin.

An elderly man had suffered a severe stroke. He had designated his sister as the decision-maker in the event of an emergency and had told her explicitly that he would never want to be kept alive by a feeding tube.

Description: Researchers discover molecule that causes secondary stroke Scientists at the University of Cincinnati (UC) College of Medicine have discovered the cause of a deadly type of secondary stroke known as cerebral vasospasm. A constriction of the blood vessels in the brain, cerebral vasospasm usually occurs three to 10 days following a massive brain bleed known as hemorrhagic stroke. Sixty percent of patients who survive the initial stroke develop vasospasm, and 40 percent of them die from it.

Dr. William Hammesfahr, nominated for a Nobel Prize for his work in medicine, told the Christian Wire Service that he "and others I know have treated many patients worse than Terri, and have seen them regain independence and dignity."

745. Decision to end life support a common one for families, doctors

Description: Decision to end life support a common one for families, doctors DAVID B. CARUSO Associated Press PHILADELPHIA - Hospitals and nursing homes don't track how many Americans die each year after being "unplugged" from some form of life support, but the number is likely to be at least in the tens of thousands, doctors said Friday. "I make at least one of these decisions daily," said Dr. Sean Morrison, a palliative care physician and professor at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. "For a majority of people who die in this country, a decision is made at some point to either withhold or withdraw a medical treatment," he said. "We ask the family what their goals are for the care, and we ask them to consider whether they believe that there is a fate worse than death. If the treatments meet the family's goals, we continue it. If not, we don't." Such end-of-life decisions are usually made quietly, without anything close to the turmoil or controversy that has consumed the family of Terri Schiavo. The Florida woman has been in what some doctors describe as a persistent vegetative state for 15 years as her husband and parents have battled with each other in court over whether to remove the feeding tube keeping her alive. While the national frenzy over Schiavo's case is unparalleled, doctors said her medical situation and the decision to withdraw life support is far from unusual. Every day at hospitals and nursing homes, relatives of patients who have been rendered unresponsive by a stroke or Alzheimer's disease instruct doctors to detach their loved one from a ventilator or remove a feeding tube. People with failed kidneys are taken off dialysis machines. Other patients stop getting

746. Study: Simple Test Might Predict Heart Disease Risk
http://www.news4jax.com/health/4283962/detail.html

2005-03-14 18:08:50
Description: A study in Monday's issue of Archives of Internal Medicine found that a simple and inexpensive test for elevated white blood cell counts could be used to predict heart disease. The report is based on a study of more than 66,000 women ages 50 to 79, conducted by researchers at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis. They found that women with the highest levels of white blood counts were twice as likely to die of heart disease. The problem was also linked to a 40 percent higher risk for nonfatal heart attack and a 46 percent greater risk for stroke.

Description: CLEARWATER, FL., March 14, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - On Saturday a rally of over three-hundred of Terri Schiavo�s most die-hard supporters heard the first-hand account of the sufferings and remarkable recovery of Kate Adamson. Struck down in 1995 at the age of thirty-three by a rare double brainstem stroke, Kate, then a mother of two young girls, was completely paralyzed; she was unable even to blink her eyes. Like Terri Schiavo, the medical staff treating her questioned the merit of continuing granting Kate the most basic human right of food and water.

Description: WASHINGTON: A new study has revealed that oral hygiene is linked to the heart. The study found a direct association between cardiovascular disease and periodontal bacteria. Researchers from the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis) and Columbia University (New York City) reported that older adults who have higher proportions of four periodontal-disease-causing bacteria inhabiting their mouths also tend to have thicker carotid arteries, a strong predictor of stroke and heart attack.

Description: Air pollution, and especially particulate matter, thickens the blood and boosts inflammation, finds experimental research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. This may help to explain why air pollution is associated with an increased risk of heart attacks, stroke, and worsening respiratory problems.

Description: ORLANDO, Florida, March 8 (Reuters) - Patients with high blood pressure taking a mixture of newer drugs may cut their risk of stroke by 25 percent and dangerous heart complications by 15 percent compared with those on older pills, according to a large study released on Tuesday. The advantage is so dramatic that many patients on the older regime of a beta blocker drug and a diuretic should halt their treatment and begin taking the newer combination, which includes Pfizer Inc's .drug Norvasc and CV Therapeutics' Aceon, researchers said.
