Stroke - Diagnosis
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Stroke'A group of pathological conditions characterized by sudden, non-convulsive loss of neurological function due to BRAIN ISCHEMIA or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Stroke is classified by the type of tissue NECROSIS, such as the anatomic location, vasculature involved, etiology, age of the affected individual, and hemorrhagic vs. non-hemorrhagic nature.

Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Registry Surveillance - four states, 2005-2007.
4 Nov 2009 
PROBLEM/CONDITION: Each year, approximately 795,000 persons in the United States experience a new or recurrent stroke. Data from the prototype phase (2001-2004) of the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Registry (PCNASR) suggested that numerous ... Read more...
Sleep-related breathing and sleep-wake disturbances in ischemic stroke.
18 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Sleep-related breathing disturbances (SDB) and sleep-wake disturbances (SWD) are often neglected in stroke patients. Recent studies suggest that they are frequent and have an impact on stroke outcome. METHODS: We review current knowledge ... Read more...
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein predicts mortality but not stroke: the Northern Manhattan Study.
18 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine whether high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) predict stroke, vascular events, and mortality in a prospective cohort study. BACKGROUND: Markers of inflammation have been associated with risk of ... Read more...
