“Women had a worse quality of life than men up to 12 months after a stroke,” said Dr. Cheryl Bushnell, senior author of the study, “even after considering differences in important socio-demographic variables, stroke severity and disability.” Dr. Bushnell’s team compared quality of life ...
This study examined differences between men and women in the ability to perform basic activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, and higher physical functioning after stroke. The objective of the study was to determine whether sex differences in stroke recovery can be explain...
Stroke disproportionately affects men and women, with women over 65 years experiencing increased severity of impairment and higher mortality rates than men. Human studies have explored risk factors that contribute to these differences, but additional research is needed to investigate how sex differences a...
We found a significant linear trend (-0.04) across increments of HRR.CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed an independent inverse association between HRR and risk of incident stroke in men with MetS. Findings from this study suggest that HRR may be considered as a simple prognostic value of stroke ...
TRPA1 and TRPM8 are transient receptor potential channels expressed in trigeminal neurons that are related to pathophysiology in migraine models. Here we use a mouse model of nitroglycerine-induced chronic migraine that displays a sexually dimorphic phen
from the organisation’s work thus far. As part of its efforts to attain health equity, Stroke Foundation is also engaged in a Yarning project. This initiative seeks to understand the stroke requirements within Indigenous communities. It mirrors the foundation’s dedication to forming strong ...
Stroke stands as a predominant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, and there is a pressing need for effective therapies to improve outcomes and enhance the quality of life for stroke survivors. In this line, effective efferocytosis, the clearance
The prevalence, characteristics, and prognostic significance of ETISVAs were examined in 843 male and 540 female asymptomatic volunteers ages 20 to 94 years from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging who underwent exercise testing.125 ETISVAs occurred at a rate of one test per 51 men (6%)...
Attesting to the importance of social factors in stroke outcome is that these same effects can be reproducibly demonstrated in animals; social interaction has been shown to reduce histological damage from experimental stroke, whereas pre-stroke social isolation (SI) enhances injury.7,19,20 To date,...
cannot control, such as family history of strokes, gender (men are more likely to have a stroke), and race (African Americans, Native Americans, and Alaskan Natives all have increased risk for strokes). In addition, women who get strokes are more likely to die from the stroke than men. ...
