ATLANTA - At just age 18, Jake suffered a stroke. The injury to his brain was devastating to Jake and his mother. "He had this handicap and the way that I was treating him, all I was doing was handicapping him even more," said Ann Nicolopulos, Jake's mother. The four-year long road to recovery hasn't been easy. "Jake is able to walk independently. It's a little limp, but it's OK," Nicolopulos said. "He drives and he's definitely left-hand dominate now. The right arm is more of an assist. His speech, that's definitely a difficulty." Now at 22, Jake is a college student. Medical experts say successful stroke recovery has challenges, starting with a lack of awareness that stroke does happen in the young. Doctors say early diagnosis is crucial. In people of all ages, an unusual headache, nausea and vomiting and facial or arm weakness are signs of stroke. "Getting them to early access to stroke care, and then getting them early treatment for rehabilitation," said Dr. Payal Fadia, medical director of Shepherd Pathways. Doctors also advise young stroke victims to return to an active lifestyle and adopt a well-balanced diet to avoid the risk of a repeat stroke. Jake … Continue reading →

LA VERNE, Calif.- Ataxia is a group of rare degenerative neurological disorders that is often fatal. About 150,000 people in the U.S. are affected by Ataxia, which is a lack of muscle coordination. Fifteen-year-old Moira Greenway is the eldest daughter of former teen star Bunny Paras and radio host Mo Twister. She has been suffering from Friedreichs Ataxia for almost eight years now. She was around 7, like 6 or 7 years-old, Paras said. We saw that she was getting wobbly, slurry speech, and more clumsy Because its progressive, we saw talagang happening na every year it got worse and worse and worse. Moira was an active kid, but Ataxia has limited her way of life. I was able to do kickball and other little games that we did with other classmates. But right now I cannot do anything," Greenway said. Its so hard to think are you going to lose your child? Paras said. Is she gonna last how many years? Hows the progression gonna be? Friedreichs Ataxia in children has a more rapid progression and is often associated with vision impairment, scoliosis, diabetes, and serious heart problems. Its kind of like people are bumping into each other everywhere, … Continue reading →

A bioactive compound found in turmeric promotes stem cell proliferation and differentiation in the brain, reveals new research. The findings suggest that aromatic (ar-) turmerone could be a future drug candidate for treating neurological disorders such as stroke and Alzheimer's disease. While several substances have been described to promote stem cell proliferation in the brain, fewer drugs additionally promote the differentiation of stem cells into neurons which constitutes a major goal in regenerative medicine. "Our findings on aromatic turmerone take us one step closer to achieving this goal," said lead study author Adele Rueger from the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine in Julich, Germany. The study looked at the effects of aromatic (ar-) turmerone on endogenous neutral stem cells (NSC), the stem cells found within adult brains. To test the effects of ar-turmerone on NSC, researchers injected adult rats with ar-turmerone. They found that the subventricular zone (SVZ) and the hippocampus expanded in the brains of rats injected with ar-turmerone. "The SVZ and hippocampus are the two sites in adult mammalian brains where neurogenesis, the growth of neurons, is known to occur," Rueger explained. Ar-turmerone is the lesser-studied of two major bioactive compounds found in turmeric. The other compound is … Continue reading →
