Does an educational multimedia campaign improve stroke knowledge and risk perception in different stroke risk groups?
Our data indicate that educational programs and the introduction of stroke risk factors can increase stroke risk perception in the public. Even though some risk groups (smokers, obese) reveal a ceiling effect, future campaigns should focus on high risk populations remarkably underrating their risk, like those with coronary heart disease or the elderly.
The results of this study suggest that genistein suppresses Ag-specific immune responses. The mechanism underlying the suppression is responsible for the competition of genistein with endogenous 17beta-estradiol for estrogen receptors.
