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.

Coffee intake linked to longer prostate cancer-specific survival for certain men

Coffee intake linked to longer prostate cancer-specific survival for certain men

High coffee consumption appeared associated with increased prostate cancer-specific survival among men with the CYP1A2 AA caffeine metabolism genotype, according to study results published in European Association of Urology.

Background

Coffee contains several compounds that lower inflammation, and drinking coffee may reduce the risk for prostate cancer. However, few studies have examined whether coffee intake or caffeine metabolism genes can affect the risk for cancer progression among men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to a press release from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Justin R. Gregg, MD, assistant professor in the department of urology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and colleagues sought to examine the association between coffee intake, caffeine metabolism genotype and survival among 5,727 men with prostate cancer (median age, 63 years) included in seven studies in the PRACTICAL Consortium database. Coffee drinkers had a median consumption of 2.5 cups per day.

Researchers used multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models across pooled patient-level data to compare the effect of coffee intake on prostate cancer-specific survival and OS.

Median follow-up was 5.1 years.

Findings

Researchers identified 906 deaths in the overall cohort — 53% prostate cancer-specific.

Results showed high coffee consumption appeared associated with numerically longer prostate cancer-specific survival (HR = 0.85; 95% CI, 0.68-1.08) and OS (HR = 0.9; 95% CI, 0.77-1.07); however, the results did not reach statistical significance.

Researchers reported an association of high coffee consumption (vs. low or intermediate intake) with longer prostate cancer-specific survival among men with localized disease (HR = 0.66; 95% CI, 0.44-0.98) and — to a nonsignificant degree — among men with advanced disease (HR = 0.92; 95% CI, 0.69-1.23). The association reached significance among men with the CYP1A2 AA fast caffeine metabolism genotype (HR = 0.67; 95% CI 0.49-0.93) but not the AC/CC genotype, although researchers detected an interaction (P = .042).

No associations occurred between coffee consumption and OS in the subgroup analyses (P > .05).

Study limitations included the nominal statistical significance and residual confounding.

Looking ahead

Investigators recommended additional research to examine coffee and caffeine intake among men after a prostate cancer diagnosis to reproduce the findings, “especially when considering the development of diet-based or other clinical interventions to augment prostate cancer treatment and lengthen patient life,” Gregg and colleagues wrote.
