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

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
