- 'Grim Reaper' threatens to castrate incontinent patient (25 Feb 10)
Of the patients, who were studied over a three-year period, 18 percent suffered from depression when the study began.

The study, which is published in the magazine Stroke, also showed a connection between high blood pressure and stroke.
