Pioneering treatment for stroke due to intracerebral hemorrhage

For decades, University of Cincinnati researchers have been pioneers in the field of stroke research.

Researchers discover a new and unconventional nuclear function for cancer microRNA

microRNAs (miRNA), non-coding RNA molecules, are widely known for regulating mRNA stability and translation. miR-10b has been increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of gliomas, cancers of the brain.

Communication and interaction between two key brain regions is important to forming memory

A research team led by faculty members at Wayne State University has discovered that communication between two key memory regions in the brain determines how what we experience becomes part of what we remember, and as these regions mature, the precise ways by which they interact make us better at forming lasting memories.

Stroke patients have higher chance of better outcomes when treated at Comprehensive Stroke Centers

When comparing outcomes for acute ischemic stroke patients treated at various levels of stroke centers, patients who received care at Comprehensive Stroke Centers (CSC) or Thrombectomy-capable Stroke Centers (TSC) were more likely to receive rapid treatment with clot-busting medication and/or mechanical clot removal and be discharged home or to rehabilitation centers than patients treated at Primary Stroke Centers, according to preliminary research to be presented today at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2022.

Mechanical blood clot removal helps nearly half of stroke survivors to achieve good outcomes

Mechanical removal of blood clots reduced post-stroke disability in nearly half of "all-comer" real-world stroke patients in an international study, according to preliminary late-breaking science presented today at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2022.

Scientists decipher molecular cause of cerebral venous thrombosis

Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare, often severe disease that has been brought to public attention by the Covid 19 pandemic. A research group from Würzburg has now succeeded for the first time in deciphering a molecular cause of this disease.

Direct oral anti-coagulants less likely to result in major bleeding after rare, fatal stroke

Direct oral anti-coagulant (anti-clotting) (DOAC) medications that target a single clotting factor work just as well to prevent future clots as the older, less-specific medication warfarin.

Newer clot-busting drug may lengthen the window for additional stroke treatment to 24 hours

If patients with clot-caused strokes obtain medical care more than 4½ hours after their symptoms are noticed, it is too late to receive the standard clot-busting medication alteplase.

Scientific statement highlights the uncertainty about health effects of marijuana

Despite the perception that marijuana is harmless, there is some scientific evidence challenging that belief, and there are many unanswered questions about its impact on brain health, according to a new American Heart Association scientific statement published today in the Association's journal Stroke.

Molecular treatment works against metastatic cancer that spread to the brain

Mount Sinai researchers conducting clinical trials of a drug targeting a cancer gene found that it increased metastatic cancer patients' survival and was able to work within the brain, according to a study published in Clinical Cancer Research in February.

Study shows link between loneliness and dementia risk in older adults

As social isolation in the United States has been increasing among older adults, a new study shows a notable link between loneliness and dementia risk, and one that is most striking for Americans who represent a large part of the population.

Statement outlines five elements to optimize care for in-hospital stroke patients

Although hospitalized patients are in a monitored environment, stroke evaluation and treatment are often delayed compared to patients arriving with a stroke at the emergency department, contributing to higher rates of morbidity and mortality for in-hospital stroke, according to an American Heart Association scientific statement published online today in the Association's journal Stroke.

Study suggests hospitalized COVID-19 patients are at higher risk of neurocognitive decline

In a new study, scientists have evaluated patient-reported and clinically tested neuropsychological problems in both ambulatory (outpatients) and hospitalized COVID-19 patients during the early recovery phase.

Winners of the first CERF Medical Engineering Prize for ALS Research announced

The Cullen Education and Research Fund announced the recipients of the first CERF Medical Engineering Prize for ALS Research: Dr. Leigh Hochberg, Dr. Conor Walsh, and Dr. Sabrina Paganoni.

Cognitive impairment in patients with long-COVID can be improved using brain stimulation

Many recovered COVID-19 patients continue to exhibit significant and long-lasting cognitive deficits in memory, attention, language comprehension and multitasking, as well as fatigue.

Fever the dominant symptom in SARS-CoV-2 Alpha- and Delta-infected children

Researchers assess the different clinical symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children and adolescents across different time periods.

Cerebrovascular impairment persists months after severe acute COVID-19, UK study

Researchers in the United Kingdom have conducted an observational cohort study on hospitalized patients and have found that the degree of severity of acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) predicts the occurrence of chronic cerebrovascular impairment. The study further suggests that the levels of cerebrovascular impairment are associated with worse cognitive, mental, and physical well-being.
