Ischemic stroke revealing COVID-19 infection: Case report
CONCLUSION: SARS-COV 2 infection can spread from the respiratory system to the central nervous system, resulting in an inflammatory response and excessive secretion of inflammatory markers, leading to ischemic stroke.PMID:34631044 | PMC:PMC8492013 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102912

Influence of changes in body fat on clinical outcomes in a general population: a 12-year follow-up report on the Ansan-Ansung cohort in the Korean Genome Environment Study
CONCLUSION: Increasing BF was associated with a lower risk of all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and MACE in the general population.Key messagesIncreasing body fat is associated with a lower risk of all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and major cardiovascular adverse events in a low-risk ageing general population, independently of physical activity, underlying cardiovascular disease burden, changes in muscle mass, and baseline obesity status.Fatness measured at baseline requires adjustment for the changes in fatness during the follow-up to reveal its impact on the clinical outcomes.PMID:34533069 | PMC:PMC8451655 | D...

Adherence to oral anticoagulation in ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: Adherence was poor in half of AF patients who survived an ischaemic stroke. Independent patient-related factors, rather than composite scores, were associated with poor adherence in these patients.KEY MESSAGESAdherence was poor in half of the atrial fibrillation patients who survived an ischaemic stroke.Independent patient-related factors rather than composite scores were associated with poor adherence.The findings support the importance of recognising adherence support as a crucial part of holistic patient care recommended by recent AF guideline.PMID:34498537 | DOI:10.1080/07853890.2021.1968031

Aortic arch thrombosis complicated by an embolic stroke in a patient with COVID-19: A case report
CONCLUSION: Aortic thrombosis is a devastating condition that can be easily missed without clinical suspicion. Our patient developed acute ischemic stroke, most likely embolic originating from the aortic thrombus. The clinician should consider this condition in any COVID-19 patient presenting with thromboembolic events, such as stroke or acute limb ischemia. Further study is required to explain the pathophysiology of arterial/venous thrombosis in mild-moderate COVID-19 cases.PMID:34457268 | PMC:PMC8381619 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102760

Internal carotid artery and bilateral vertebral arteries dissections associated with amphetamine abuse: Case report
We reported the Case of a 40-year-old male patient with chronic amphetamine used since childhood. He had increased the consumption from once a month to every other day in the last year. The patient suffered from acute left-side hemiparesis and neglect. Computed tomography angiography of the brain and neck vessels demonstrated non-atheromatous vasculopathy with a suspected dissection process of the right internal carotid artery and bilateral vertebral arteries. A review of recent data is also provided to clarify the possible mechanism.PMID:34401140 | PMC:PMC8353386 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102676

Tea intake and cardiovascular disease: an umbrella review
Ann Med. 2021 Dec;53(1):929-944. doi: 10.1080/07853890.2021.1933164.ABSTRACTBrewed tea (Camellia sinensis) is a major dietary source of flavonoids, in particular flavan-3-ols. Tea consumption has been suggested to be inversely associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Several biological mechanisms support the inverse relationship between tea flavonoid intake and CVD risk. Given the recent accumulating evidence from various systematic reviews regarding the role of tea as a beverage in reducing CVD risk and severity, we conducted an umbrella review to describe and critically evaluate the totality of e...

Violet discoloration of urine: A case report and a literature review
CONCLUSION: Purple Urine Bag Syndrome can be managed by changing urinary catheter, and by the administration of appropriate antibiotics. Such event can be easily misdiagnosed thus leading to unnecessary and consuming measures. Creating a better awareness of this condition among physicians and healthcare givers is essential for better patient outcomes.PMID:34354830 | PMC:PMC8321942 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102570
