Sleep disturbances linked to increased risk of acute stroke

In a recent study published in the journal Neurology, researchers investigated how a wide range of symptoms of sleep disturbance, individually and cumulatively, could be associated with the risk of acute stroke.

Researchers develop innovative tool to assess the chances of stroke caused by heart disease

A research team from the Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University has jointly developed AICute, an innovative program to assess the chances of stroke caused by heart disease (Ischemic Stroke), aimed at helping hospitals that lack cardiologists to enhance the effectiveness of stroke treatment, reduce congestion in hospitals and medical schools.

Unique cellular signature can accurately detect obstructive sleep apnea in children

Researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine have discovered how obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) changes the profiles of immune cells in the blood, leading to a unique cellular signature that can accurately detect obstructive sleep apnea in children.
