SHINE Trial Sheds Light on Deadly Stroke Complication

DAIC

The new analysis of the trial results, led by UVA Health’s Andrew Southerland , MD, found that high blood sugar shortly after thrombolysis – opening blocked arteries in the brain with a clot-busting drug – was associated with greater risk for potentially deadly brain bleeds, particularly in older patients with more severe strokes.

Abstract HUP16: Exploring Differences in Stroke Type and Stroke Risk Factors Between Young African Americans and Ghanaian Stroke Women

Stroke Journal

Non-parametric t-test and chi-square analysis was used for statistical analysis to identify significant differences between stroke type and stroke risk factors.Results:Among the 236 subjects, the median age was similar between groups (p-value 0.3940) [40 (IQR 35-43) Ghana, n= 91; 43 (IQR 34-43) in AA, n= 43, and 39 (IQR 31-43) WAA, n= 102).

Incidence But Not Severity of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Shows a Strong Pattern of Seasonal Variation

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundA strong risk factor for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is elevated arterial blood pressure, which is known to vary by season, with highest values in winter months. Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. Clinical severity and case fatality did not vary between seasons (mean, 24.30.8%).ConclusionsThis
