Tobacco smoking is recognized as the risk factor of stroke, however its effect on the risk of recurrent cerebrovascular events is not well clarified.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of tobacco smoking on results of clinimetric scoring of stroke patients and association with results of routine
BACKGROUND
We simulated tobacco control and pharmacological strategies for preventing cardiovascular deaths in India, the country that is expected to experience more cardiovascular deaths than any other over the next decade.
RESULTS
A microsimulation model was developed to quantify the differential
OBJECTIVE
This study examines the association between environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure and atrial fibrillation (AF).
METHODS
We examined the cross-sectional association between ETS exposure and AF in 12,021 participants (mean age: 65 ± 9.9 years; 60% women; 40% blacks) from the REasons for
The association of smokeless tobacco (SLT) with stroke has been dealt with in only a few reviews. The present meta-analysis aims to present the updated comprehensive summary risk of stroke in adult SLT users along with sub group analysis.A systematic OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study is to identify specific protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms involvement in K(+) transport mediated at altered blood-brain barrier (BBB) response to stroke conditions with prior nicotine exposure, which provides ways to intervene pharmacologically in PKC-mediated molecular
OBJECTIVE
To understand factors associated with tobacco use and related tobacco cessation among veterans recovering from stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) that will facilitate design of a tailored intervention for rehabilitation services.
METHODS
Four focus groups were conducted with veterans
This article reviews the most recent epidemiologic evidence supporting topics such as hypertension, diabetes, tobacco, and lipids as risks for stroke. Where available, American Stroke Association (ASA) and National Stroke Association (NSA) consensus statement guidelines for the treatment of these
Nicotine, a cholinergic agonist, rapidly crosses the blood-brain barrier, promotes neuronal plasticity and has been suggested to enhance behavior in a variety of neurological conditions. Nicotine has also been suggested to benefit functional recovery in rodent models of stroke. At present there has
OBJECTIVE
Cryptogenic stroke is the leading subtype of ischemic stroke in the young. We sought to evaluate the association between traditional cardiovascular risk factors and cryptogenic stroke by using a case-control study.
METHODS
Patients aged 18-54 years, consecutively treated for first-ever
Our objective was to provide a comprehensive review of the epidemiologic evidence relating stroke to exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (passive smoking) in lifelong nonsmokers. In all, 7 prospective, 6 case-control, and 3 cross-sectional studies were identified that provided relevant
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is associated with an increased risk of acute myocardial infarction, acute stroke, or death.
METHODS
Self control case series analysis of data from The Health Improvement Network (THIN) to estimate the relative incidence of myocardial
This paper explores the relationship between insular stroke and the disruption of tobacco use. A functional analysis of the role of the insula in maintaining homeostasis suggests that the insula monitors hypoxia and applies dyspnea to motivate the individual to regulate breathing. From its' early
OBJECTIVE
This study examined the association of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) during adulthood with stroke and its subtypes using data from a large-scale prospective cohort study in Japan.
METHODS
The study population included 36,021 never-smoking Japanese women who were enrolled
Objective: To evaluate a comprehensive tobacco control policy package on hospital admissions for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke in a global city.
Design:
BACKGROUND
Snus is a moist smokeless tobacco product with high nicotine content. Its use has a short-term effect on the cardiovascular system, but the relationship between snus use and stroke is unclear.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to assess the associations between use of snus and incidence
