Pre-treatment clinical assessment in head and neck cancer: United Kingdom National Multidisciplinary Guidelines.
Authors: Robson A, Sturman J, Williamson P, Conboy P, Penney S, Wood H Abstract This is the official guideline endorsed by the specialty associations involved in the care of head and neck cancer patients in the UK. This paper provides recommendations on the pre-treatment clinical assessment of patients presenting with head and neck cancer. Recommendations • Comorbidity data should be collected as it is important in the analysis of survival, quality of life and functional outcomes after treatment as well as for comparing results of different treatment regimens and different centres. (R) • Patients with hypertens...

Antiplatelet versus anticoagulation treatment for patients with heart failure in sinus rhythm.
CONCLUSIONS: There is evidence from RCTs to suggest that neither oral anticoagulation with warfarin or platelet inhibition with aspirin is better for mortality in systolic heart failure with sinus rhythm (high quality of the evidence for all-cause mortality and moderate quality of the evidence for non-fatal cardiovascular events and major bleeding events). Treatment with warfarin was associated with a 20% reduction in non-fatal cardiovascular events but a twofold higher risk of major bleeding complications (high quality of the evidence). We saw a similar pattern of results for the warfarin versus clopidogrel comparison (lo...

Spotlight on unmet needs in stroke prevention: The PIONEER AF-PCI, NAVIGATE ESUS and GALILEO trials.
This article focuses on three randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that are investigating the utility of rivaroxaban, a direct, oral, factor Xa inhibitor, in additional areas of stroke prevention where data for anticoagulants are lacking: oPen-label, randomized, controlled, multicentre study explorIng twO treatmeNt stratEgiEs of Rivaroxaban and a dose-adjusted oral vitamin K antagonist treatment (PIONEER AF-PCI); New Approach riVaroxoban Inhibition of factor Xa in a Global trial vs Aspirin to prevenT Embolism in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (NAVIGATE ESUS); and Global study comparing a rivAroxaban-based antithrombo...

A Case of Transient Global Amnesia: A Review and How It May Shed Further Insight into the Neurobiology of Delusions
Conclusion In closing, our patient’s episode of TGA combined with her emotional and perceptual response lends credence to the proposal of a “fear/paranoia” circuit in the genesis of paranoid delusions—a circuit incorporating amygdala, frontal, and parietal cortices. Here, neutral or irrelevant stimuli, thoughts, and percepts come to engender fear and anxiety, while dysfunction in frontoparietal circuitry engenders inappropriate social predictions and maladaptive inferences about the intentions of others.[54] Hippocampus relays information about contextual information based on past experiences and the current situat...

Individualized antithrombotic therapy.
Conclusion: An extensive therapeutic arsenal to interfere with clot formation requires an individualized approach considering the disease condition and co-morbidities of the patient, the anticoagulants' and patientcharacteristics. This review builds on and extens previous publications of the authors on this topic. PMID: 25597592 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Study On Drug Utilization And Assessment Of Stroke Risk Using Chads2 And Cha2ds2-Vasc Scoring In Elderly Patients With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation
Stroke Risk Stratification in AF patients of can be done using CHADS2 (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age ≥75, DM, prior Stroke/TIA [2 points] ); or CHA2DS2VASc2 (Congestive heart failure/left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%, Hypertension, Age ≥75 [2 points], DM, prior Stroke/TIA/thromboembolism [2 points], Vascular disease, Age 65–74, Sex- female). Treatment options for Prevention of stroke includes Anti-coagulants (Vitamin K Antagonist-Warfarin, Acenocoumarol; and Newer Oral Anticoagulant- Dabigatran) and anti-platelets (Aspirin and Clopidogrel).

Triple Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention A Contemporary Review
Chronic oral anticoagulant therapy is recommended (class I) in patients with mechanical heart valves and in patients with atrial fibrillation with a CHA2DS2-VASc (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age ≥75 years, Diabetes mellitus, prior Stroke or transient ischemic attack or thromboembolism, Vascular disease, Age 65 to 74 years, Sex category) score ≥1. When these patients undergo percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting, treatment with aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor also becomes indicated. Before 2014, guidelines recommended the use of triple therapy (vitamin K antagonists, aspirin, and clopidog...

One‐Year Outcome of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Coronary Artery Stenting: An Analysis of the AFCAS Registry
ConclusionsIn this large, real‐world population of AF patients undergoing PCI‐S, TT was the antithrombotic regimen most frequently prescribed. Although several limitations need to be acknowledged, in our study the 1‐year efficacy and safety of TT, dual antiplatelet therapy, and VKA plus clopidogrel was comparable.

Rationale and design of The Intracoronary Stenting and Antithrombotic Regimen—Testing of a six-week versus a six-month clopidogrel treatment Regimen In Patients with concomitant aspirin and oraL anticoagulant therapy following drug-Eluting stenting (ISAR-TRIPLE) study
Background: An increasing number of patients undergoing coronary stenting need lifelong anticoagulation and therefore require a triple therapy typically consisting of aspirin, clopidogrel, and a vitamin K antagonist. Triple therapy confers an elevated bleeding risk as compared with dual therapy; however, omission of either antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy might increase the risk of stent thrombosis or thrombembolic events. Although guidelines recommend a duration of dual antiplatelet therapy of 6 to 12months after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation, the optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy in patients re...

Antithrombotic Regimens in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Coronary Disease Optimizing Efficacy and Safety ∗
Clear evidence supports the value of oral anticoagulation (OAC) with vitamin K antagonists in preventing stroke and thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who have well-established risk factors. For this indication, vitamin K antagonists have been shown to be superior to single or dual antiplatelet agents in reducing thromboembolic complications (1). Yet, up to 30% of patients with AF also have indications for antiplatelet therapy because of coronary artery disease (2). Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor (e.g., clopidogrel) is usually recommended after stent implantatio...

Triple Therapy With Aspirin, Prasugrel, and Vitamin K Antagonists in Patients With Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation and an Indication for Oral Anticoagulation
This study sought to evaluate whether prasugrel may serve as an alternative to clopidogrel in patients with triple therapy.BackgroundApproximately 10% of patients who receive dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention have an indication for oral anticoagulation and are thus treated with triple therapy. The standard adenosine diphosphate receptor blocker in this setting is clopidogrel. Data regarding prasugrel as part of triple therapy are not available.MethodsWe analyzed a consecutive series of 377 patients who underwent drug-eluting stent implantation and had an indication for oral anticoagulation ...

Thrombocytopenia in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation on Oral Anticoagulation Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
In conclusion, mild to moderate baseline thrombocytopenia does not seem to have a clinically significant effect on bleeding or thrombotic or thromboembolic complications after PCI in these frail patients receiving multiple antithrombotic drugs.
