Genetic Insights Into Hemorrhagic Stroke and Vascular Malformations: Pathogenesis and Emerging Therapeutic Strategies

Stroke Journal

Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs), and intracranial aneurysms are major causes of hemorrhagic stroke, yet noninvasive therapies to prevent growth or rupture are lacking. Stroke, Ahead of Print.

Researchers develop low volume resuscitant for prehospital treatment of severe hemorrhagic shock

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

This makes it particularly interesting for preclinical treatment of hemorrhagic shock. Relatively small volume injections of solutions of a novel star-shaped polymer could compensate for the loss of fluid without disrupting coagulation, according to a new study published in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition.

Faster brain hemorrhage treatment increases survival odds, new study finds

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

Taking an anticoagulant, or blood-thinning medication, can increase one's risk of—or exacerbate—a brain bleed, also known as a brain hemorrhage, which is the deadliest type of stroke. Now, new research finds that faster treatment for these patients is associated with a greater likelihood of survival.

Pathophysiology of Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Recovery Trajectories

Stroke Journal

Recovery trajectories in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are recognized as distinct from those observed in ischemic stroke. Stroke, Ahead of Print. This narrative review aims to clarify the pathophysiology underlying ICH recovery patterns, highlighting the unique timeline and nature of functional improvements seen in ICH survivors.

Extreme temperatures may increase risk of stroke mortality, especially in low-income countries

Science Daily - Stroke

Extreme heat and extreme cold are both associated with increased risks of death from ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, according to a new study. The researchers found that the link between extreme temperatures and stroke mortality was stronger in low-income countries than in high-income countries.
