Nicotine addiction in women increases the risk of ischemic stroke. Importantly, women who smoke and use hormone replacement therapy/oral contraceptives greatly increase their risk of coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke as compared to nonsmoking women who use occasionally oral contraceptives.
Tobacco smoking is a risk factor contributing to the development and progression of ischemic stroke. Among many chemicals in tobacco, nicotine may be a key contributor. We hypothesized that nicotine alters the balance between oxidant and antioxidant networks leading to an increase in brain injury
OBJECTIVE
Poor compliance with evidence-based medicine guidelines could significantly influence the effect of stroke prevention strategies. The objective of this survey is to evaluate the current status of adherence to secondary prevention guidelines based on evidence-based medicine and related
OBJECTIVE
Aetiologies of cerebral ischemic events in young adults are various and often contraversial: atherosclerosis plays a role after age 35 years, cardioembolism is often recognized as the major cause, and numerous new predisposing conditions have been described. To evaluate very premature
Objective: To examine the sex-specific associations between tobacco smoking and risk of cardiovascular diseases in Chinese adults. Methods: The present analysis included 487 373 participants from the China Kadoorie Biobank after excluding those with cancer, heart diseases, stroke at baseline survey.
Assessing the relationship of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) with subclinical measures of atherosclerotic disease supplements the epidemiologic data on fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events. In addition, such assessment offers the opportunity to study smaller populations (including
Smoking tobacco, including cigarettes, has been associated with an increased incidence and relative risk for cerebral infarction in both men and women. Recently, we have shown that nicotine and cotinine attenuate abluminal (brain facing) K(+) uptake mediated by the Na,K,2Cl-cotransporter (NKCC) in
The tobacco smoke intake by the smoker or by the non-smoker is a toxic product and a risk factor for diseases as acne in teenagers, respiratory and non respiratory infection, or histiocytosis X. The four main diseases are: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which is more 80% related to tobacco;
Oral contraceptives (OC) and smoking-derived nicotine (N) are known to synergistically increase the risk and severity of cerebral ischemia in women. Although it has been known for some time that long-term use of OC and nicotine will have an increased risk of peripheral thrombus formation, little is
Nicotine, a drug of abuse, has been reported to have many adverse effects on the developing nervous system. In rodents, chronic nicotine exposure inhibits estrogen-mediated neuroprotection against cerebral ischemia in females suggesting that nicotine could disrupt endocrine targets. Zebrafish have
BACKGROUND
We evaluated the safety of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in active smokers with acute (aneurysmal) subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
METHODS
A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted in a prospectively collected database including all SAH patients admitted to an 18-bed
After immediate intervention for cerebral infarction or transient ischemic attack (TIA), the primary goal is secondary prevention of future cerebral ischemia and prevention of complications related to the initial ischemic event. The goals of the diagnostic evaluation are to (1) determine potential
Khat is a stimulating agent used by many people in the Horn of Africa and the Arabian peninsula. Khat chewing is a known cardiovascular risk factor and is thought to cause vasoconstriction, systemic hypertension, and thrombogenicity. A 33-year-old Somalian man initially presented with loss of
Most centrally mediated sympathoexcitatory reflexes produce increases in arterial pressure, heart rate, and peripheral vascular resistance, including coronary vasoconstriction. Cerebral ischemia also causes large increases in arterial pressure and peripheral vasoconstriction but with modest or
The aim of the work was to examine the degree of carotid stenosis, the structure of atherosclerotic plaques, and the predominance of the main vascular risk factors in patients with multiple lacunar and comparatively large "non-lacunar" cerebral infarctions. A study WAS made of the data on 110
