Stroke represents a severe and growing health problem in the general population. The increasing burden of disease associated with stroke appears to be largely related to progressive ageing of the population, and in fact is increasing more rapidly in women than in men. In addition, emerging pathophysiological, clinical and therapeutic issues confer specific characteristics to stroke in women. This article briefly covers some of the most important of these aspects.

Remote Ischemic Conditioning Attenuates Transneuronal Degeneration and Promotes Stroke Recovery via CD36-Mediated Efferocytosis.

Background: Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has been implicated in cross-organ protection in cerebrovascular disease, including stroke. However, the lack of a consensus protocol and controversy over the clinical therapeutic outcomes of RIC suggest an inadequate mechanistic understanding of RIC. The current study identifies RIC-induced molecular and cellular events in the blood, which enhance long-term functional recovery in experimental cerebral ischemia.

Osteoarthritis (OA) affects several joints but tends to be more prevalent in those that are weight-bearing, such as the knees, which are the most heavily loaded joints in the body. The incidence and disability rates of OA have continued to increase and seriously jeopardise the quality of life of middle-aged and older adults. However, OA is more than just a wear and tear disease; its aetiology is complex, and its pathogenesis is poorly understood.

Introduction: We examined the associations of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), arterial stiffness index (ASI), and pulse pressure (PP) with cerebrovascular disease, cognitive function and decline, and incident cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and dementia in the UK Biobank cohort.
Methods: The study consisted of 42,711 participants (mean age 64.2 years) with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), vascular assessments, and cognitive testing.
Long-Term Time in Target Range for Systolic Blood Pressure Since Childhood and Midlife Arterial Stiffness.
JACC Asia
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, China.
Background: Elevated blood pressure (BP) in childhood is associated with adult hypertension and arterial stiffness. However, the effect of long-term time in target range (TTR) for BP since childhood on the risk of arterial stiffness in midlife remains unclear.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the independent association of TTR for systolic blood pressure (SBP) from childhood to midlife with arterial stiffness in adulthood.
Effects of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy on anxiety and depressive symptoms among patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Department of Nursing, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, Tianjin, China.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) in reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms among patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and to explore how intervention characteristics, such as module number and program duration, influence treatment outcomes.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted by searching eight databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published up to December 2023. Studies involving adult CVD patients with anxiety or depressive symptoms who underwent ICBT interventions were included.
