Bivalirudin anticoagulation to overcome heparin resistance in a neonate with cerebral sinovenus thrombosis
Anticoagulation in a neonate is a challenge and the availability of anticoagulant options is extremely limited. Here we describe the use of a direct thrombin inhibitor, bivalirudin, in a full-term neonate with symptomatic cerebral sinovenous thrombosis complicated by bilateral thalamic hemorrhagic stroke and intraventricular hemorrhage, who could not be effectively treated with sodium heparin due to heparin resistance (HR) and showed thrombosis regression after start of bivalirudin treatment, without worsening of the hemorrhage. While the use of bivalirudin in neonates has been previously described, the indication of cereb...

Cardiorenal Protection With the Newer Antidiabetic Agents in Patients With Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
lar Biology; Council on Cardiovascular and Stroke Nursing; Council on Clinical Cardiology; and Council on Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major public health problem, resulting in significant cardiovascular and kidney adverse outcomes worldwide. Despite the widespread use of standard-of-care therapies for CKD with T2D over the past few decades, rates of progression to end-stage kidney disease remain high with no beneficial impact on its accompanying burden of cardiovascular disease. The advent of the newer classes of antihyperglycemic agent...

Serum uric acid and diabetes: from pathophysiology to cardiovascular disease.
Abstract Hyperuricemia, has been traditionally related to nephrolithiasis and gout. However, it has also been associated with the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiometabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Pathophysiologically, elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels may be associated with abnormal lipid and glucose metabolism. In this narrative review, we consider the associations between hyperuricemia, hyperglycemia, atherosclerosis and thrombosis. Furthermore, we comment on the available evidence linking elevated SUA levels with the incidence and outcomes of coronary heart disease, stroke, per...

Sodium ozagrel and atorvastatin for type 2 diabetes patients with lacunar cerebral infarction
CONCLUSION: Sodium ozagrel with atorvastatin can reduce inflammatory reactions; regulate ESR and HMGB1, PON-1, and MIF levels; control blood glucose and lipid indexes; and alleviate nerve injury without increasing adverse effects of atorvastatin alone.PMID:35047123 | PMC:PMC8696649 | DOI:10.4239/wjd.v12.i12.2096
