Current guidelines recommend lowering cholesterol for heart disease risk reduction. New findings indicate that if cholesterol dips too low, it may boost the risk of hemorrhagic stroke, according to researchers.

Over a period of nine years, a Penn State-led study examined the relationship between —LDL, commonly known as “bad” —and hemorrhagic stroke. This type of stroke occurs when a blood vessel bursts in the brain.

The researchers found that participants with LDL cholesterol levels below 70 mg/dL had a higher risk of hemorrhagic stroke.

The Korean male neuro-functionalized Virtual Population (ViP) model Jeduk V4.0 has been released. This new computational human phantom features detailed neuro-functionalized nerve trajectories for all major peripheral nerves in the entire body and includes close to 1200 individual tissue structures comprising more than 250 peripheral nerves and 1100 unique nerve trajectories.
