Hemoglobin Improvement is Positively Associated with Functional Outcomes in Stroke Patients with Anemia
Anemia is a prevalent concern in geriatric medicine. Previous studies have highlighted the high prevalence and adverse healthcare outcomes of anemia in older adults.1,2 Anemia, defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a hemoglobin level below 12 and 13 g/dL in women and men, respectively,3 is common in older adults, and an estimated 13% of older adults over age 70 are anemic.1,4 Moreover, anemia has been associated with poor physical performance and disability, frailty, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality rate in community-dwelling older adults.

NAMPT as a Dedifferentiation-Inducer Gene: NAD+ as Core Axis for Glioma Cancer Stem-Like Cells Maintenance
Conclusion and Perspectives Gliomas are the most prevalent primary brain cancer in adults and include a broad category of tumors including astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, and GBM. Regardless of tumor aggressiveness, malignancy, and infiltration, these glia-derived tumors rarely exceed a median survival time of 12–14 months. Driven by the infiltrative nature of these tumors, the clinical approach is difficult and relapses often occur with fatal consequences. These unsuccessful attempts to control glioma's fate have fostered research looking for more effective therapies. (GSCs) are a small subset of CD133&#...

Preventable Cases of Oral Anticoagulant-Induced Bleeding: Data From the Spontaneous Reporting System
Conclusion: Our findings describe the most reported risk factors for preventability of oral anticoagulant-induced bleedings. These factors may be useful for targeting interventions to improve pharmacovigilance activities in our regional territory and to reduce the burden of medication errors and inappropriate prescription. Introduction Oral anticoagulant therapy is widely used for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation, or for the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (Raj et al., 1994; Monaco et al., 2017). Oral anticoagulants can be di...

Impact of anemia on percutaneous coronary intervention in Chinese patients: A large single center data
ConclusionsPre ‐PCI anemia was not an independent risk factor of any adverse clinical events, while post‐PCI anemia had a predictable value of MI, TVR, and MACE after PCI.

Impact of anemia on in ‐hospital complications after ischemic stroke
ConclusionAnemia is an independent predictor of in‐hospital complications following stroke, especially for pneumonia, GIB and thromboembolism. Whether prophylaxis and treatment of anemia would prevent in‐hospital complications remains to be studied.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Association of Anemia With Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Peripheral Vascular Intervention: Insights From the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium (BMC2 VIC).
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of anemia was high among PVI patients and was associated with significantly greater likelihood of amputation, any adverse event, and major cardiovascular events. Whether preprocedure correction of anemia has the potential to decrease post-PVI adverse events remains to be studied. PMID: 29289948 [PubMed - in process]

Low Hemoglobin Levels and Recurrent Falls in U.S. Men and Women: Prospective Findings from the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Cohort.
CONCLUSIONS:: Among men, lower hemoglobin levels were associated with an increased risk for recurrent falls. Although our findings suggest an increased risk for recurrent falls at both lower and higher hemoglobin levels among women, these findings should be confirmed in subsequent studies.
