Biosimilar Tenecteplase Versus Alteplase in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Real World Study
CONCLUSION: This present study observed no difference in the efficacy and safety between biosimilar TNK and rTPA. Our findings are in concordance with published trials showing equivalence between the two molecules.PMID:37034051 | PMC:PMC10081554 | DOI:10.4103/aian.aian_754_22

What Is or What Is Not a Risk Factor for Arterial Hypertension? Not Hamlet, but Medical Students Answer That Question
Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2022 Jul 5;19(13):8206. doi: 10.3390/ijerph19138206.ABSTRACTHypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease and premature death worldwide. The most important method of preventing hypertension is social awareness of its causes. An important role in educating society about hypertension is played by medical personnel. The study involved 327 students of medicine representing all years of study. The study used a proprietary questionnaire containing test questions about knowledge of the causes of hypertension (classical and non-classical factors), as well as questionable and false risk ...

Association Between Carotid Artery Perivascular Fat Density and Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
CONCLUSION: We found increased density in the fat surrounding carotid artery ipsilateral to stroke compared with contralateral in ESUS, suggesting the presence of an inflammatory reaction that extends beyond the vessel lumen in patients with ESUS with a risk factor profile similar to LAA strokes.PMID:35250789 | PMC:PMC8894862 | DOI:10.3389/fneur.2021.765962

A journey through clinic and research
I started to study Medicine at the University of Genoa, Italy more than 20 years ago and I now realize that I was quite far from understanding what ‘Medicine’ really means. After weeks and weeks spent on books during the first year, I understood that becoming a MD not only requires the willingness to help people with health problems, but also strong motivation and dedication to learn a huge amount of notions. In Italy, as it is the case for several other countries, the University courses last 6 years, during which the MD student is fully engaged by individual study, lessons and seminars, exercises, and internships. Wit...

3D fusion imaging assisted carotid artery stenting is safe and feasible.
CONCLUSIONS: Carotid stenting with 3D fusion in this pilot study was safe and feasible. 3D fusion techniques using either CTA or MRA allowed a significant reduction of contrast volume but did not reduce radiation dose or exposure time. Larger prospective studies of CAS with 3D fusion imaging in patients with renal insufficiency or mild allergy to contrast are warranted.

Impact of atrial high-rate episodes on the risk of future stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Embolic stroke events are common in Japanese patients with CIEDs. AF events lasting ≥30s and an enlarged left atrium are the risk factors of embolic stroke in this population.

Efficacy of Sports Club Activities on Exercise Tolerance Among Japanese Middle and High School Children and Adolescents After Fontan Procedure
This study aimed to determine the factors associated with peak oxygen uptake (VO2) and to subsequently clarify the correlation between participation in sports club activities and variables related to exercise tolerance. Cardiopulmonary exercise tests were performed by 115 Fontan patients aged between 6 and 20 years. The patients completed questionnaires on their daily physical activities including participation in extracurricular sports clubs in middle (junior high school) and high school. Peak VO2 had a significant negative correlation with age and a positive correlation with hemoglobin, stroke volume , and resting tida...

Abstract P114: White Coat Effect is Common Among Stroke Survivors Session Title: Onsite Poster Competition I With Reception
Background and Purpose: Among stroke survivors, uncontrolled hypertension is a major risk factor for recurrent stroke. Blood pressure (BP) medication titration often relies on office BP measures, which may be inaccurate due to the white coat effect (WCE). We sought to determine the prevalence of the WCE in stroke survivors and to determine whether clinical and demographic factors were associated with WCE.Methods: We followed ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and transient ischemic attack patients with prior hypertension presenting to our stroke clinic for a BP study. Sitting BP was obtained by a medical assistant using an of...

Abstract 161: Lean Process Improvements Reduce Door to CT and Door to Needle Times for Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: Lean process improvement methodology significantly reduces door to CT and door to needle times, supporting current AHA Target: Stroke goals and allowing faster treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Incorporating time-outs into standardized processes that aim to deliver care more quickly may improve patient safety without substantially slowing down DTN times. Further investigation is required to determine whether the new process improved safety and clinical outcomes.

Abstract 145: Differences in Presenting Symptoms of Fibromuscular Dysplasia Patients With Family History of Fibromuscular Dysplasia, Arterial Aneurysm, Dissection, or Sudden Death: A Report from the United States Registry for Fibromuscular Dysplasia Session Title: Abstract Poster Session I and Reception
Conclusions: Patients with a family history of FMD, arterial aneurysm (AA), dissection (AD), or sudden death (SD) more commonly had extracranial arterial bed complications, and experienced symptoms related to this vascular territory at time of diagnosis. These results suggest that FMD may present differently in those with this family history.

Reply Primum Non Nocere: First Do No Harm
Discussion section, the strong correlation shown in Figure 4A would not be possible if variability of afterload was an important consideration.3.If aortic regurgitation were underestimated by MRI, it would lead to an overestimation of mitral regurgitant volume, not an underestimation.4.We do not believe our study shows that pre-surgical left ventricular (LV) volumes predict recovery of LV end-diastolic volume (EDV) post-surgery. For example, in Table 4, patient 29 had mild mitral regurgitation (MR) and an end-diastolic diameter (EDD) of 6.2 cm, whereas patient 38 had severe MR and an EDD of 5.3 cm. Our study shows that ...
