Individuals who have had their first stroke with permanent damage could become an economic burden to their family and a social burden to the society due to their unproductive nature. Stroke could be prevented and its risk factors have been identified. Through a stroke prevention … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2013 · 7,161 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleIn-Depth Review of Stroke Prevention in Patients with Non-Valvular Atrial FibrillationDaych Chongnarungsin, Supawat Ratanapo, Narat Srivali et al.Stroke is a common complication of atrial fibrillation that leads to high morbidity. Anticoagulation therapy significantly reduces the risk of stroke in a selected group of patients. The decision to start anticoagulation needs to be balanced with bleeding risk. During the past years, multiple oral anticoagulation agents were proven to be as effective as warfarin in multiple randomized clinical trials. … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 22 May 2012 · 12,564 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleStroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation: Pharmacologic UpdateWajeeha Saeed, J. W. Kusick, M. R. Sardar et al.For nearly half a century, the therapeutic options for the risk reduction of stroke in atrial fibrillation have been stagnant with vitamin K antagonists, such as warfarin, being the primary therapy. Although antiplatelet agents have been investigated over this time, they were never shown to reduce the risk of stroke at the level warfarin has. Considering the limited therapeutic options, … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2013 · 6,762 accessesView PDF Cite

Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the keywordsIntracranial Atherosclerotic Disease: Treatment Potential and Diagnostic OpportunitiesAnastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Victoria Alexandrovna Khotina, Anton Yuvenalievich Postnov et al.Atherosclerosis, characterized by the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques within large arteries, substantially increases the risk of cardiovascular events, including ischemic stroke. Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) represents a particularly significant clinical threat given its strong association with ischemic stroke across multiple intracranial arterial territories. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of intracranial atherosclerosis. Special attention … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 5 May 2026 · 1,093 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Vitamin E on Stress Resorption, Lipid Profile and Reproductive Performance of Sokoto Red GoatsKehinde Matthias OKUKPE, Ling Shing Wong, Geetha Subramaniam et al.Vitamin E (α-tocopherol) plays a critical role in animal nutrition as an antioxidant, contributing to anti-inflammatory responses, immune function, and gene expression regulation. This study aimed to determine the optimal dietary level of vitamin E to alleviate the effects of environmental stress in Sokoto Red Goats transported from their native dry savannah belt to the humid derived savanna belt of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2026 · 1,509 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElevated Th17 and IL-23 in Hypertensive Patients with Acutly Increased Blood PressureJunxian Wang, Jianying Chen, Can Chen et al.Problem statement: Many severe cardiovascular complications such as stroke and heart attack can result from acutely increased blood pressure in patients with hypertension. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear despite of extensive study. To characterize the inflammatory mechanisms in hypertensive patients with acute blood pressure increase, we tested circulating Th17 levels, IL-23R expression and plasma levels of IL-17 and IL-23 in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 21 May 2012 · 7,911 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFollowing the Heart: The History of the J-Curve in Stroke RiskShoshana Reshef, Daniel ReshefReports of a J-shaped relationship between blood pressure and ischemic stroke are rare. The purpose of this study was to trace the published history of the J-curve theory as it relates to blood pressure, ischemic heart disease and eventually ischemic stroke. The J-curve publications on the relationship between Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) and ischemic stroke suggest that in certain populations, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,356 accessesView PDF Cite
