International Stroke Genetics Consortium Update.

Created in April 2007, the International Stroke Genetics Consortium (ISGC) has grown into scientific community’s global organizing force for stroke genetics, open to all who can contribute to its mission. Stroke is a leading cause of death worldwide, with 15 million people suffering a stroke per year. Intracerebral hemorrhage, which makes up 15% of all stroke in the United States, results in a ...

Regional implementation of the stroke systems of care model: recommendations of the northeast cerebrovascular consortium.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Northeast Cerebrovascular Consortium was established to examine regional disparities and recommend strategies to improve stroke care based on the Stroke Systems of Care Model. METHODS An annual summit was first held in 2006, bringing together public health officials, researchers, physicians, nurses, health professionals, state legislators, and advocacy organizations...

Biological Removal of phosphate from Synthetic Wastewater Using Bacterial Consortium

The biological phosphorus removal is a microbial process widely used for removing phosphorus fromwastewater to avoid eutrophication of water bodies. The study was aimed to screen the efficient phosphatereducing isolates and used to remove phosphate from synthetic wastewater using batch scale process. Thethree most efficient phosphate reducers were isolated and screened from eu...

Collaboration, workshops, and symposia

Readers may have noticed the presence of a March issue of Neurology® Genetics that added to the customary bimonthly publication schedule. The March issue is a supplement focused on research presented by the International Stroke Genetics Consortium (ISGC). Genetics of stroke is paradigmatic for the challenges of analyzing polygenic risk in highly complex disease phenotypes with significant envir...
