Associations between chronic diseases and choking deaths among older adults in the USA: a cross-sectional study using multiple cause mortality data from 2009 to 2013
Conclusions We suggest using overall choking instead of only food-related choking to better describe the associations between chronic diseases and choking.

Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption is linked to global adult morbidity and mortality through diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease and adiposity-related cancers
Commentary on: Singh GM, Micha R, Khatibzadeh S, et al., Global Burden of Diseases Nutrition and Chronic Diseases Expert Group (NutriCoDE). Estimated global, regional, and national disease burdens related to sugar-sweetened beverage consumption in 2010. Circulation 2015;132:639–66 . Context Obesity and obesity-related non-communicable diseases are global health burdens associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortality, economic costs and impaired quality of life.1–3 Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption has been linked with obesity and has long been thought to contribute to cardiometabolic diseases th...

Dysphagia Rehabilitation in Japan.
Authors: Inoue M Abstract In Japan, one of the most common causes of death in elderly people is aspiration pneumonia. Maintenance of oral hygiene and feeding functions are important elements, especially in patients with dysphagia caused by stroke, neurological diseases, and after operations on the head and neck cancer, as well as in the elderly to prevent aspiration pneumonia. It should also be noted that not only oral health care and physical therapy related to feeding functions but also dental treatment is included in the clinical management during interventions whenever needed. On the other hand, for the patient...

Heparins – DOACS – VKA
Patients with cancer are at increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). At the same time they have often an underlying bleeding risk. That can often make decisions surrounding the administration of anticoagulants complicate. Individual risk-benefit calculation is necessary. During hospital stage the patients get, if there are no contraindications, a medical VTE prophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). Whereas outpatients don`t get a prophylaxis because they are at low risk of thromboembolism. If additional risk factor for VTE exists a decision for medical VTE prophylaxis should be taken into account. In pa...

Simultaneous carotid endarterectomy and free flap surgery for head and neck microvascular reconstruction
Introduction/aims: Microvascular free flaps are the gold standard for reconstruction of head and neck defects. However, suitable recipient vessels are essential. Stenosis of the carotid tree is most commonly due to atherosclerosis, which shares risk factors with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Free flaps are often not carried out in these patients due to the risk of failure and complications. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) offers an evidence based intervention for stroke risk reduction but its use for improving vascularity to free flaps has not been previously reported.

Young women with high-fibre diet may have lower breast cancer risk
ConclusionThis large and long-term cohort study showed that women with the top fifth highest average fibre intake during adolescence and early adulthood were around 25% less likely to develop premenopausal breast cancer decades later than those in the bottom fifth.This raises the suggestion that young women might be able to significantly lower their risk of breast cancer – the most common cancer in the UK – simply through eating more high-fibre foods such as fruits and vegetables.However, it’s worth noting a few points before accepting these promising results at face value. Total dietary fibre intake in adolescen...

Assessing Oral Hygiene in Hospitalized Older Veterans.
Authors: Jennings A Abstract Poor oral health for all older adults can result in higher risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and oral cancer. Findings from this study indicated older veterans needed to improve their oral hygiene habits but barriers to oral hygiene performance prevented them from receiving and performing oral hygiene measures.

Summary: International Kidney Cancer Symposium
Conclusions:  Ideal ischemia time is 20-25 minutes or less improves short and long term renal function.  >25 minutes carried 5 year risk of new onset stage 4 CKD No differences on GFR for cold vs. warm ischemia times Preoperative GFR and the percent of kidney preserved was a better predictor of post op GFR.  No ischemia preserves renal function better than warm. Longer cold ischemia times were equivalent to shorter warm ischemia times. Quality and quantity of the remaining kidney is associated with ultimate renal function.

0484: The LEADERS FREE Trial: a double blind randomized comparison of a BMS and a polymer-free Drug Coated Stent (DCS) in 2,466 patients at high bleeding risk and treated with one month DAPT only
Conclusion The trial focuses on a never previously studied high bleeding risk population characterized by advanced age and more comorbid conditions. It is the 1st evaluation of a DCS with clinical endpoints and comprises the shortest ever DAPT course with an active stent to be evaluated for both safety and efficacy.

A new measure for in vivo thrombin activity in comparison with in vitro thrombin generation potential in patients with hyper- and hypocoagulability
Abstract The thrombin generation potential is an in vitro measure for the capacity of an individual to generate thrombin and recognized as a reflection of a hypo- or hypercoagulable status. Measurement of the in vivo thrombin activity, however, may be of clinical significance. We evaluated a new assay for in vivo thrombin activity and compared it to the in vitro thrombin generation potential in patients with hemophilia A (N = 15), oral anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation (AF) (N = 20), subjects with active cancer (N = 21), and healthy volunteers (N = 10). Thrombin activity was measured with a comme...

Evolving Treatments for Arterial and Venous Thrombosis: Role of the Direct Oral Anticoagulants.
Abstract The direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) represent a major advance in oral anticoagulant therapy and have replaced the vitamin K antagonists as the preferred treatment for many indications. By simplifying long-term anticoagulant therapy and improving its safety, the DOACs have the potential to reduce the global burden of thrombosis. Postmarketing studies suggest that the favorable results achieved with DOACs in the randomized controlled trials can be readily translated into practice, but highlight the need for appropriate patient, drug and dose selection, and careful follow-up. Leveraging on their success t...

A Day in the Life of an Acute Care SLP
Editor’s Note: This is an excerpt from a guest blog post that originally appeared on Tactus Therapy. In the post, speech-language pathologist Brenda Arend shares highlights of a typical day working in acute care at Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia, Washington. 8:30 a.m.: Assigning patients The first part of my day is spent opening up patient charts in our EPIC electronic medical record and assigning three SLPs to see patients in our 380-bed hospital. Two or three SLPs cover a caseload that ranges from 15 to 30 patients, although recently we see as many as 42. In addition, we also provide outpatient video fluo...
