But once the researchers controlled for those risks, the data showed that the more coffee a person consumed, the less likely he or she was to die from a number of health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, infections and even injuries and accidents.
Epileptogenesis, i.e., the process leading to epilepsy, is a presumed consequence of brain insults including head trauma, stroke, infections, tumors, status epilepticus (SE), and complex febrile seizures.
Indeed, despite the fact that there are several key phenotypes of SCD (anemia, stroke, infections), fetal hemoglobin (HbF) has emerged as a central disease modifier [3], that is amenable to therapeutic manipulation [6].
The clinical course of stroke patients is not solely determined by the extent of brain damage and the resulting neurological deficit, but often complicated by post stroke infections.
In this study we used the identical stringent definitions of post stroke infection and non-infected patients reported previously; as a consequence, all parameters obtained on admission and on day 1 were determined in the absence of clinical and paraclinical signs of infection.
For epilepsy, the causes are often known, including hypoxia, stroke, infection and head trauma, but the mechanisms by which these insults cause epilepsy are poorly understood.
Various brain injuries in humans such as neurotrauma, stroke, infection, febrile convulsions and status epilepticus (SE) are associated with the acute occurrence of seizures and an increased risk of developing epilepsy.
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether precursor events are associated with a composite endpoint of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (death, acute renal failure, stroke, infection) in a low- to medium-risk coronary artery bypass grafting, valve, and valve plus coronary artery bypass grafting population.
This approach could be used to survey the survival and morphology of defined classes of neurons in mouse models of a variety of CNS diseases or insults, including inherited disease, stroke, infection, drug toxicity, and sensory deprivation.
Other causes of SE include trauma, hypoxia, stroke, infection, and drug withdrawal (Table 2).
Neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, as well as stroke, infection and injury, require therapies that aim to replace lost, damaged or inoperative tissues.
