Cerebral Infarction News and Research

RSS

A cerebral infarction is the ischemic kind of stroke due to a disturbance in the blood vessels supplying blood to the brain. It can be atherothrombotic or embolic. From stroke caused by cerebral infarction two other kinds of stroke should be distinguished: cerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Researchers identify risk factors for postoperative cerebral ischemia in patients with moyamoya disease

The buildup of fats, cholesterol, calcium, and immune cells within the blood vessel can lead to the narrowing or even complete blockage of the blood vessel.

Flu vaccination may cut heart attack and stroke risk after infection

In Danish adults aged 40 years or older, laboratory-confirmed influenza was linked to a sharp short-term rise in first-time heart attack and stroke risk, especially in the first 7 days after infection. Prior same-season influenza vaccination was associated with about half the excess cardiovascular risk among infected individuals, suggesting possible protection even in breakthrough cases.

Irregular bedtime could double the risk of serious cardiac events

An irregular bedtime in midlife may signal an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. A new study from the University of Oulu suggests that large swings in when people go to bed could double the risk of serious cardiac events—particularly among those who get less than eight hours of sleep.

Could a simple milk habit help prevent strokes? New research points to potential benefits

A modeling study in Nutrients projected that raising average milk consumption in Japan to recommended levels could reduce stroke incidence, stroke mortality, and healthcare spending over 10 years. The analysis suggests that modest dietary changes, particularly increased milk intake, may produce measurable population-level health and economic benefits.
