2. 1. Stroke : patient characteristics, efficacy of a stroke unit and evaluation of hemodilution therapy

   Author : Tage Strand; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; Acute cerebrovascular disease; blood viscosity; cerebral infarction; hemodilution therapy; stroke unit;

   Abstract : Stroke is a major health problem in all developed countries. These studies, performed in a stroke unit at a medical department, were designed to characterize essential clinical features of the different cerebrovascular disorders on admission to hospital, to evaluate the efficacy of admitting unselected stroke patients to a stroke unit and, to evaluate hemodilution as a therapeutical regime in patients with cerebral infarction.

   Abstract : Background Many risk factors for stroke are well characterized and might, at least to some extent, be similar for first-ever stroke and for recurrent stroke events. However, previous studies have shown heterogeneous results on predictors and rates of stroke recurrence. READ MORE

5. 3. Stroke Epidemiology and Outcome in Southern Sweden

6. 4. Risk factors in ischemic stroke

   Author : Katarina Jood; Göteborgs universitet; Göteborgs universitet; Gothenburg University; []
   Keywords : stroke; ischemic stroke subtypes; genetics; polymorphism; fibrinolysis; obesity; stress;

   Abstract : Ischemic stroke is a complex disease in which environmental and genetic factors make about equal contributions to the etiology. However, knowledge regarding the molecular basis of the genetic influence and the impact of specific lifestyle factors is limited. READ MORE

7. 5. Population-based studies of atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke

   Author : John Berntsson; Kardiovaskulär forskning - epidemiologi; []

   Abstract : AbstractBackground: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke and the most common cause of cardioembolic stroke. Early detection of AF and AF subjects at high risk for stroke is therefore important. READ MORE
