Epidemiology of stroke in Irkutsk: the data of the territorial population register (2009—2013)

Abstract

The decrease in stroke mortality among men and women (both in Irkutsk and Russia in whole) is a logical consequence of a complex approach to the problem as well as opening of specialized vascular centers and secondary prevention of stroke.

General trends in the prevention and treatment of cerebrovascular disease in the XXI century

“…It has been established that listening to vocal music is an effective and easily applicable tool for supporting cognitive recovery after a stroke. The rehabilitative effects of vocal music are due to both structural and functional changes in plasticity in the temporo-parietal lobes/ networks, which are critical for processing emotions, language, and memory [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Why did moderate hypoxia, physical activity and constant intellectual work become the factors that protect the brain?…”

“…In Russia, the number of cases of stroke in recent decades has amounted to 340 people. per 100 thousand population per year [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. This means that approximately every 1.5 minutes a Russian develops this disease, and the mortality rate from it remains one of the highest in the world.…”

“…More than 1 million stroke survivors live in the Russian Federation (RF). After a stroke in the Russian Federation, almost every second patient dies by the end of the first year, and after 7 years, almost 80% of patients die [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

“…In the Russian Federation, there is a large empirical experience in the use of neurocytoprotectors in ischemic stroke [23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. For most drugs in this group, the safety of their use has been successfully demonstrated [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”
