• NERVOUS SYSTEM INVOLVEMENT IN LUPUS: Involvement of the nervous system is common in LUPUS[SLE].It can involve the central nervous system[CNS] i.e the brain and also the peripheral nervous system[PNS] i.e the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves. The usual feature of CNS involvement is cognitive dysfunction mainly consisting of defects in memory and reasoning.

• Frequency of ischemic stroke climbs steeply after the age of 40: A new analysis from the Helsinki Young Stroke Registry finds the frequency of ischemic stroke rises sharply beginning at the age of 40 years. Traditional stroke risk factors started to accumulate around the age of 44 years, and subclinical infarcts were surprisingly common, researchers report.

• Penn Research Team Tests Bedside Monitoring of Brain Blood Flow and Metabolism in Stroke Victims: University of Pennsylvania: First successful demonstration of a noninvasive optical device to monitor cerebral blood flow in patients with acute stroke. Blood flow changes can be reliably detected from stroke patients and also suggests that blood flow responses vary significantly from patient to patient,? lead author Turgut Durduran said. The device uses embedded optical probes that are placed over major cortical blood vessels in each hemisphere of the brain. The technology, diffuse correlation spectroscopy is a non-invasive system that uses lasers, photon-countin g detectors, radio-frequenc y electronics, data processors and a computer monitor to display user-friendly images of functional information. A working prototype of a non-invasive brain probe that uses diffusing light to detect physiological changes such as blood flow, blood-oxygen saturation and hemoglobin concentration to inform clinicians about their treatments has been demonstrated.
