Ultra processed foods increase the risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease (CVD), while a Mediterranean diet can lower CVD risk by reducing lipid profiles (including oxidised lipids), and total cholesterol.
Have a look for yourself.👇

Only 200 people in Scotland had a thrombectomy in 2024. We must do better.
Innovation is more than an idea. It’s about taking the idea and implementing it effectively. Without that, thrombectomy is nothing but a missed opportunity for thousands of stroke patients. #UKSF25

Racial disparities in stroke care.👇
Black patients face higher mortality rates than White patients.
Black and Asian patients often need more psychological support and are more likely to experience recurrent stroke.
At #UKSF25 we discussed what more can be done to address these vital issues.

About a third of people with intracerebral haemorrhage die.
But Dr Floris Schreuder highlighted what more can be done to improve outcomes for stroke patients, showcasing a range of surgical interventions that can reduce pressure on the brain, and reduce deaths by 25%. #UKSF25
