Malignant Hyperthermia: A Killer If Ignored
J Perianesth Nurs. 2022 Apr 9:S1089-9472(21)00353-1. doi: 10.1016/j.jopan.2021.08.018. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMalignant hypothermia (MH) is a potentially fatal hypermetabolic reaction of skeletal muscle. It is an autosomal dominant disorder that generally occurs in people with RYR1, CACNA1S, or STAC3 mutations. And these genetic abnormalities often cause the imperfection of calcium release channels of skeletal muscle. The incidence of MH among different racial groups across the world ranges from approximately 1:5,000-1:250,000, but there is no national statistic MH incidence in China. It is not clear whether there a...

Determinants of Incident Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events Among Those With Absent Coronary Artery Calcium: Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Conclusions: Current cigarette smoking, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension are independently associated with incident ASCVD over 16-year follow-up among those with CAC=0. Family history of premature ASCVD may be associated with ASCVD risk among women only.PMID:34879218 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.121.056705

Standard-Dose Atorvastatin Treatment in Patients With Symptomatic Middle Cerebral Artery Atherosclerotic Stenosis: A Vessel Wall Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study
Conclusion: Vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging could accurately characterize changes in MCA plaques after lipid-lowering therapy. Standard-dose atorvastatin treatment could stabilize and reverse plaques in northern Chinese patients with SMAS.

Lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels are associated with an increased risk of hematoma expansion and ensuing mortality in acute ICH patients
ConclusionsLower LDL-C levels (<  1.4 mmol/L) are associated with an increased risk of HE and ensuing mortality in acute ICH patients. Maintaining an optimal LDL-C range may have therapeutic potential against HE which merits further investigation.

Basilar dolichoectasia with intermural hematoma accompanied by cerebral microbleeds and white matter hyperintensities: A case report
Rationale: The clinical manifestations of basilar dolichoectasia (BD) are variable. The diagnosis is based on imaging measurements. Digital subtraction angiography displays only the dilated vascular lumen and lacks visualization of the arterial wall. High-resolution Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can identify intramural hematoma; therefore, it may be more suitable for the imaging evaluation of BD. However, most of the existing literature pertaining to BD lacks vascular wall assessment. Patient concerns: A 65-year-old Chinese man perceived weakness of the left upper and lower limb, double vision, dizziness, nau...

Predictive models for adverse clinical outcomes in Chinese patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting
CONCLUSION: Chinese patients with AF and coronary stenting had high mortality and incidence of MACCE. We compiled separate predictive models for all-cause death, IS/STE, MACCE, and major bleeding.PMID:34353224 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2021.1950367
