Humans and mice exposed to long-wavelength red light had lower rates of bloodclots that can cause heart attacks, lung damage and strokes, according to research led by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC surgeon-scientists and published today in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis.
Research Highlights: Mechanically retrieving a bloodclot blocking a medium- or small-sized brain artery was no better at reducing disability 90 days after a stroke than standard care alone (including clot-busting medication if indicated).
Research Highlights: An analysis of more than 1,300 stroke survivors found that women were less likely than their male counterparts to take medications, such as cholesterol-lowering statins and blood thinning medications to prevent bloodclots, to.
Research Highlights: Edoxaban, a medication taken orally to prevent bloodclots from forming, was found to be as effective and safe for stroke and bloodclot prevention in patients after heart valve replacement surgery as warfarin, the current.
Photo/University of Cincinnati milla1cf Thu, 05/16/2024 - 15:31 May 16, 2024 — A new University of Cincinnati study provides more insight into how few patients have severe ischemic strokes compared to the total stroke patient population in the region.
Visualization of the blood vessels in the brain of a patient without early venous filling, meaning without excessive reperfusion of the brain area after removal of the bloodclot in the blocked artery. They occur when a blood vessel that supplies the brain becomes blocked, impairing blood flow to the brain.
Research Highlights: Hospital beds for stroke patients are typically elevated at the head, however, a flat head position before surgical removal of a bloodclot in the brain (thrombectomy) may lead to better outcomes. Results from a multicenter trial.
10, 2024 — Royal Philips and the World Stroke Organization (WSO) have published a policy paper calling for a revolution in stroke care to make a real difference to the lives of millions and bring significant economic benefits worldwide. Yet, access to thrombectomy remains the exception rather than the norm in global stroke care.
Researchers have analysed the effects of seven different hormone treatments for menopausal symptoms on the risk of bloodclots, stroke and heart attack. The results show that the risks differ depending on the active substance and how the medicine is taken.
trial presented during the International Stroke Conference found that while hospital beds for stroke patients are typically elevated at the head, a flat head position before surgical removal of a bloodclot in the brain (thrombectomy) may lead to better outcomes. Late-breaking science from a multi-center U.S.
Müller milla1cf Wed, 05/01/2024 - 12:07 May 1, 2024 — In an ischemic stroke, an artery in the brain is blocked by bloodclots and the brain cells can no longer be supplied with blood as a result. The researchers only considered the ChatGPT data entries that exactly matched that of the expert to be correct.
Some research suggests that moderate drinkers may have a lower risk of heart disease compared to those who abstain or engage in heavy drinking. Drinking too much alcohol can lead to high blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart disease. Over time, this can contribute to heart failure and other serious complications.

The first trial of a novel strategy for removing cholesterol from patients’ arteries did not reduce the risk of death, heart attack or stroke within three months of a prior heart attack, according to research presented at ACC.24, reduction in risk for death, heart attack or stroke compared with 5.2%
New research published in the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases confirms that strokes thought to happen in older adults are possible in the younger (defined as 18–50 years old) population.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATMP110-ATMP110, February 1, 2024. Introduction:Conventional thromboembolic stroke model requires ligation of the ECA, which is problematic for research of thrombolytic agents because cerebral blood flow is different from human stroke. A bloodclot (0.86
Mass screening for atrial fibrillation using ECG together with heart failure biomarker does not prevent ischemic stroke or systemic embolism (bloodclot) in older adults aged 75–76 years over 5 years follow-up, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line Session at this year's ESC Congress 2024 in London, UK (30 Aug–2 Sept).
milla1cf Wed, 12/13/2023 - 10:24 December 13, 2023 — A new artificial intelligence (AI) model designed by Scripps Research scientists could help clinicians better screen patients for atrial fibrillation (or AFib)—an irregular, fast heartbeat that is associated with stroke and heart failure.
The research is funded by a four-year, $7.8 million grant awarded to Georgia Tech by the United States Department of Defense Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) as part of the agency’s call for the development of less invasive treatment technologies for cardiovascular conditions associated with cardiomyopathy.
milla1cf Sat, 04/06/2024 - 18:32 April 6, 2024 — The first trial of a novel strategy for removing cholesterol from patients’ arteries did not reduce the risk of death, heart attack or stroke within three months of a prior heart attack, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology ’s Annual Scientific Session.
Previous research in this area had not focused as much on which individuals are most at risk. “We Overall, the severity of the infection was the strongest risk factor," says Anne-Marie Fors Connolly , who leads the research group at Umeå University that is behind the study.

New research details the first oral drug for the treatment of a type of high cholesterol -- called Lp(a) -- that is a potentially more dangerous version of the so called 'bad' cholesterol, LDL, because it is stickier and may be more likely to cause blockages and bloodclots in your arteries.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP268-ATP268, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Xylitol, a sugar alcohol with a global market estimated at 161,500 metric tons, has been linked to increased thrombosis and risk of stroke and heart attack.
Researchers found no significant difference between groups in terms of a composite of death, disabling stroke or rehospitalization for heart failure—which occurred in 9.4% Researchers will continue to track outcomes over the next five years. At one year, the trial met both primary endpoints. of those receiving the SAPIEN valve.
We do our research to ensure that our capital will be safe and what rates of interest we would get before parting with our hard earned cash. This is called the Primary Bank because it is only for those people who have never had a heart attack or a stroke but are looking to prevent one from happening by taking Aspirin daily.
19, 2024 Drinking multiple cups of coffee a day may help prevent cognitive decline in people withatrial fibrillation (AFib or AF), according to new research published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. Researchers did not find any interaction between age, sex and coffee consumption. Cup size was not standardized.
In a cohort of >3,000 people from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), sleeping <6 hours each night predicted a higher prevalence of stroke, heart attack, and chronic heart failure. There is a considerable temporal variation in blood pressure, bloodclotting, and endothelial function.
If the mainstream medical research world can get it wrong about something this fundamental, then perhaps they can be wrong about other seemingly inarguable facts? Early researchers could not see it, whatever it was. This is known as gain of function research. Then there were the bloodclots, and the cytokine storms.
