Abstract
Stroke represents a major public health problem, ranking as a leading cause of death and long-term disability worldwide (1–3). The goal of prevention strategies is to avoid the occurrence of stroke by educating both healthcare professionals and patients about the reduction of risk factors. Despite increasing improvements in acute revascularization therapies, preventive measures remain more effective in decreasing the burden of stroke, as evidenced by the fact that over 75 % of strokes are first events (2). This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive approach by outlining risk factors and new therapeutic approaches. Understanding these is essential for healthcare providers and the general public to develop effective prevention strategies and ultimately reduce the overall incidence of stroke.
期刊介绍:
eNeurologicalSci provides a medium for the prompt publication of original articles in neurology and neuroscience from around the world. eNS places special emphasis on articles that: 1) provide guidance to clinicians around the world (Best Practices, Global Neurology); 2) report cutting-edge science related to neurology (Basic and Translational Sciences); 3) educate readers about relevant and practical clinical outcomes in neurology (Outcomes Research); and 4) summarize or editorialize the current state of the literature (Reviews, Commentaries, and Editorials). eNS accepts most types of manuscripts for consideration including original research papers, short communications, reviews, book reviews, letters to the Editor, opinions and editorials. Topics considered will be from neurology-related fields that are of interest to practicing physicians around the world. Examples include neuromuscular diseases, demyelination, atrophies, dementia, neoplasms, infections, epilepsies, disturbances of consciousness, stroke and cerebral circulation, growth and development, plasticity and intermediary metabolism. The fields covered may include neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, neuroepidemiology, neurogenetics, neuroimmunology, neuroophthalmology, neuropathology, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, neurooncology, neurotoxicology, restorative neurology, and tropical neurology.
