Stroke in the 21st Century: A Snapshot of the Burden, Epidemiology, and Quality of Life.
TLDR
An overview of stroke in the 21st century from a public health perspective is provided and the public health burden of stroke is set to rise over future decades because of demographic transitions of populations, particularly in developing countries.Abstract:
Stroke is ranked as the second leading cause of death worldwide with an annual mortality rate of about 5.5 million. Not only does the burden of stroke lie in the high mortality but the high morbidity also results in up to 50% of survivors being chronically disabled. Thus stroke is a disease of immense public health importance with serious economic and social consequences. The public health burden of stroke is set to rise over future decades because of demographic transitions of populations, particularly in developing countries. This paper provides an overview of stroke in the 21st century from a public health perspective.read more

Emerging neuroprotective strategies for the treatment of ischemic stroke: An overview of clinical and preclinical studies.
TL;DR: There is still a substantial need for the development of therapeutic agents for neuroprotection in acute ischemic stroke to protect the brain from damage prior to and during recanalization, extend the therapeutic time window for intervention and further improve functional outcome.

Post-stroke depression: A 2020 updated review.
TL;DR: PSD is a common, treatable condition that is associated with several negative outcomes, and early detection and proper management are critical to obtain better outcomes in individuals with PSD.

Neuroprotection Against Oxidative Stress: Phytochemicals Targeting TrkB Signaling and the Nrf2-ARE Antioxidant System.
TL;DR: The cellular antioxidant defense and TrkB signaling-mediated cell survival systems be considered pharmacological targets for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, and review the literature on the neuroprotective effects of phytochemicals that can co-activate these neuronal defense systems.

TL;DR: Whether specific patterns of CFNAs in blood, their detection, quantity and quality might be instrumental to predict a disease development/progression and could be further utilised for accompanying diagnostics, targeted prevention, creation of individualised therapy algorithms, therapy monitoring and prognosis is highlighted.

TL;DR: Early-stage senescence may protect cell from transformation, while prolongedsenescence often promotes cancer development, and the complexity of senescences that makes cancer treatment challenging is highlighted.

TL;DR: Despite uncertainties about mortality and burden of disease estimates, the findings suggest that substantial gains in health have been achieved in most populations, countered by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa and setbacks in adult mortality in countries of the former Soviet Union.
