Dr. Paul R. Sanberg, Distinguished University Professor, a co-author of the paper, concluded that «these novel data showing BSCB damage in subacute and chronic ischemic stroke may lead to development of new therapeutic approaches for patients with ischemic cerebral infarction.»

In Remodeling of the Mononuclear Phagocyte Network Underlies Chronic Inflammation and Disease Progression in Heart Failure: Critical Importance of the Cardiosplenic Axis, Prabhu and colleagues showed that immune cells that are stored in the spleen were intricately involved in the heart failure that follows a heart attack, or infarction, in a mouse - model system.

The researchers focused on specific cardiovascular disease diagnoses: myocardial infarction (heart attack), chronic heart failure, stroke, and ischemic heart disease.

The team also investigated the risk of infection while taking into account the duration of current or former statin use, 90 - day cumulative dose, and specific sub-groups of patients who were prescribed statins for different chronic conditions like previous myocardial infarction, peripheral arterial disease, chronic heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes.

Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells derived from the umbilical cord could represent an effective means to treat chronic myocardial infarction

More interestingly, the effects on infarction size, survival rates and cardiac function can be observed even if the dietary intervention is induced after the ischemic event, by increasing the expression of angiogenic factors and increased vascularization of the damaged myocardium, proposing a novel non-pharmacological therapy for subjects with chronic heart failure (43).

Finally, sensitivity analyses were performed by excluding individuals who might have made dietary adjustments and / or lifestyle changes because of chronic disease at baseline (i.e., hypertension, hyperlipidemia, myocardial infarction, and / or stroke) and by excluding misreports of energy according to Goldberg criterion categories, defined as «under - reporters» with a ratio of energy intake to basal metabolic rate < 1.14 and «over-reporters» with a ratio of > 2.1 (29).
