GI tract bacteria helps decrease stroke

How many decades before this is standard treatment to help prevent or lessen a second stroke?  I'm saying never since we have NO stroke leadership or strategy to followup promising research like this. And yet the boards of directors of our fucking failures of stroke associations seem to be ok with such incompetence. You're screwed along with your children and grandchildren.

Certain types of bacteria in the gut can leverage the immune system to decrease the severity of stroke, according to new research from Weill Cornell Medicine. This finding can help mitigate stroke — which is the second leading cause of death worldwide. In the study, published March 28 in Nature Medicine, mice received a combination of antibiotics. Two weeks later, the researcher team — which included collaborators at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center — induced the most common type of stroke, called ischemic stroke, in which an obstructed blood vessel prevents blood from reaching the brain. Mice treated with antibiotics experienced a stroke that was about 60 percent smaller than rodents that did not receive the medication. The microbial environment in the gut directed the immune cells there to protect the brain, the investigators said, shielding it from the stroke's full force. The findings suggest that modifying the microbiotic makeup of the gut can become an innovative method to prevent stroke. This could be especially useful to high–risk patients, like those undergoing cardiac surgery or those who have multiple obstructed blood vessels in the brain.
