Comparison of Factors Associated With Direct Versus Transferred-in Admission to Government-Designated Regional Centers Between Acute Ischemic Stroke and Myocardial Infarction in Korea
CONCLUSIONS: Various patient factors were differentially associated with direct admission to RCVCs between AIS and AMI. Public education for symptom awareness and use of EMS is essential in optimizing the transportation and hospitalization of patients with AMI and AIS.PMID:36325609 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2022.37.e305

Correspondence The INTERSTROKE study on risk factors for stroke – Authors' reply
Xianwei Zeng and collagues suggest our analysis of the INTERSTROKE study1 overestimated the population attributable for ten risk factors of stroke due to the selection of variables included. Although we did not include a variable for metabolic syndrome, we did include the key domains for metabolic syndrome, namely obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and apolipoproteins. Our analysis also included a measure of dietary quality, namely modified alternative healthy index (mAHEI). Variables for health education and hormones were not included, because these were not measured, although certain hormones could be measured in future an...

An unnecessary complication of PEG feeding
An 81-year-old woman underwent percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube insertion following a stroke. She presented with PEG tube malfunction 2 years later, when a gastroscopy showed the bumper of the PEG tube to be covered by gastric mucosa. Endoscopic removal of the tube was attempted by incising the mucosa but was unsuccessful. A second PEG tube was placed proximally within the stomach, and the patient was discharged back to the nursing home. The nutrition nurses provided education on PEG tube care to the staff, including clear instructions on buried bumper prevention. Three months later, the problem recurred...

A case of “smoldering” immune‐mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura manifesting as recurrent cardioembolic stroke
We report an atypical manifestation of immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) that we hypothesize represents a longstanding, or “smoldering,” process. As typified by this case, the prompt recognition and treatment for immune-mediated TTP are often confounded by clinical comorbidities. Thus, TTP should be considered in cases of unremitting thrombocytopenia of unknown origin in patients with stroke or other thrombosis. AbstractPrompt recognition and treatment for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) are critical to prevent the irreversible manifestations of this rare and quickly fatal hematologic ...

AFib Treatment: General Population
Abstract: When primary care physicians are presented with a patient with atrial fibrillation (AFib), there are two concerns. (online video available at: http://education.amjmed.com/video.php?event_id=445&stage_id=5&vcs=1). One is the choice of strategy to treat the AFib, ie, whether to use rate control or a rhythm control strategy (to keep patients in sinus rhythm). The second concern is preventing the principal risk associated with AFib: stroke and systemic embolism. The focus of this review is stroke prevention, concentrating on risk assessment and traditional versus the new oral anticoagulation agents. For the past se...
