There were 7219 admissions during the study period, comprising 167 complete lunar cycles. Stroke admissions were evenly spread throughout lunar phases (P=.72). Admission with medically unexplained stroke symptoms was significantly increased during full moon phases (P=.023). There was no variation in admission rates during other significant dates.
CONCLUSION: There was a statistically significant association between admission to the acute stroke unit with a diagnosis of medically unexplained stroke symptoms and lunar phase. ( Ahmad F, Quinn TJ, Dawson J, Walters M Journal of Psychosomatic Research 65(2):131-3 2008)

so more people have Medically Unexplained Stoke Symptoms (MUSS) at the time of the full moon… what do you think?
