International Journal of Stroke : Official Journal of the International Stroke Society
Thomas A Burke, Ramani N Venketasubramanian

Abstract

Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. Our objective was to review comparable studies of stroke incidence, prevalence, and subtypes in the East Asian region. English language epidemiologic studies of stroke published from 1984 through 2004 were identified for the East Asian region (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, North and South Korea and the ASEAN countries). The Sudlow-Warlow criteria were modified to identify comparable studies. Stroke epidemiology is relatively well characterized in China, Taiwan, and Japan; however, little information is available for other countries. Four studies of stroke incidence, from China, Taiwan, and Japan, were identified, which reported a total of 4995 first-ever stroke events. There was an over twofold difference in the age-adjusted incidence of stroke between the Chinese Seven Cities and Okinawa study (483 vs 201 per 100,000). The 1-month case fatality rate ranged from 12.7% to 17.3%. Only one population-based study on stroke prevalence, from Taiwan, was identified: Studies show the relatively high proportion of hemorrhagic stroke (30%). Stroke epidemiology is relatively well characterized in China, Japan, and Taiwan but not in other countries in the regio...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
