research An X-traordinary stroke
This case report describes a 60-year-old man with a rare 46, XX karyotype who presented with cerebellar infarct and polycythaemia, leading to further endocrine investigations after adrenal gland enlargement was found.
research When Recurrent Strokes, Back Pain, and Alopecia Constitute a Hereditary Cause of Small-Vessel Disease, CARASIL in an Arabic Woman
This report presents the first documented case of CARASIL in an Arabic patient and notes unique magnetic resonance spectroscopy findings compared to prior cases.
research Smart Nanosilver Strikes Twice: Precision Bacteria Killing Meets Autophagy‐Boosted Healing for Infected Wounds
This study reports that a pH-responsive nanosilver platform improved wound healing in mouse and rabbit models by targeting bacteria and supporting tissue repair more effectively than traditional silver nanoparticles.
research Effects of Fermented Rhus Verniciflua Stokes Extract (FRVE) on Hair Growth Promote in Hair Cell and Experimental mice
Fermented Rhus Verniciflua Stokes Extract may help hair grow in cells and mice.
research Executive Summary: Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics—2011 Update
This report from the American Heart Association highlights that while death rates from cardiovascular diseases have declined significantly, the overall burden of these diseases remains high in the U.S.
research Alopecia Areata Increases the Risk of Stroke: a 3-year Follow-Up Study
In this study, patients with alopecia areata were found to have a higher risk of stroke over a 3-year follow-up period compared to those without the condition.
research Advances in antioxidative nanozymes for treating ischemic stroke
In this study, researchers highlighted the potential of antioxidative nanozymes as a promising treatment for ischemic stroke, due to their stability, cost-effectiveness, and ability to regulate ROS-induced inflammation, positioning them as a noteworthy alternative to natural enzymes like catalase and superoxide dismutase.
research The association between HDAC9 gene polymorphisms and stroke risk in the Chinese population: A meta-analysis
Certain variations of the HDAC9 gene can increase or decrease stroke risk in the Chinese population.
research Association between geriatric nutritional risk index and fecal incontinence in individuals with stroke: mediating roles of systemic immune inflammation index and oxidative balance scores
This study observed that in individuals with stroke, the GNRI has a significant negative association with FI and FISI, mediated by the SII index and OBS, suggesting the importance of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant strategies to reduce FI risk.
research Antiphospholipid Syndrome with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus as the Cause of Recurrent Strokes: A Case Report and Literature Review
This study concluded that when investigating stroke causes, considering systemic lupus erythematosus for secondary prevention may help reduce the risk of recurrent strokes.
research Undead Blond Hair in the Victorian Imagination: The Hungarian Roots of Bram Stoker’s "The Secret of the Growing Gold"
This paper discusses how Bram Stoker's "The Secret of the Growing Gold" reinterprets a Hungarian folktale to reflect British Victorian racial anxieties, linking Teutonic superiority with Hungarian folklore.
