Deans' stroke musings: Risk of stroke with e-cigarette and combustible cigarette use in young adults

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Risk of stroke with e-cigarette and combustible cigarette use in young adults

Be careful out there, ask your doctor what this means, especially the bolded no link part.

Risk of stroke with e-cigarette and combustible cigarette use in young adults

American Journal of Preventive Medicine — Parekh T, et al. | January 09, 2020

Researchers assessed the risk of stroke in relation to e-cigarette use with or without a history of prior or concurrent combustible cigarette use among young adults. For this purpose, they studied pooled data (2016–2017) from a nationally representative, cross-sectional telephone survey—the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System—in 2019. They analyzed overall 161,529 participants aged 18–44 years. Findings revealed no link between sole e-cigarette use and greater odds of stroke in young adults. However, experts found significantly increased odds of stroke if former or current combustible cigarette use was reported by young adults even in comparison with current sole combustible cigarette use. No stroke benefits were conferred by switching from combustible cigarettes to e-cigarettes.
