Stroke in HIV-infected individuals with and without HCV coinfection in Spain in the combination antiretroviral therapy era
by Alejandro Alvaro-Meca, Juan Berenguer, Asunci ón Díaz, Dariela Micheloud, Teresa Aldámiz-Echevarría, Chiara Fanciulli, Salvador Resino The incidence of stroke in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected individuals has been well analyzed in recent epidemiological studies. However, little is known about the specific contribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection to stroke among HIV-infected individuals. The aims of this st udy were to analyze trends in the incidence rates of stroke in HIV-infected individuals during the combination antiretroviral (cART) era in Spain and to categorize them by the presence or ...

Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention of Stroke in Transgender Adults
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo identify the current state of science on stroke in transgender adults and highlight gaps in need of further research. We will review current research on cerebrovascular risk and disease, hormone therapy, and stroke in transgender individuals. Finally, we will provide a framework for healthcare providers to prevent and reduce disparities through inclusive care practices.Recent FindingsTransgender people experience unique stroke risk factors, secondary to both psychosocial stress and health-related behaviors. These include higher rates of HIV, tobacco use, stimulant use, and hepatitis C. The use o...

Reversing the effects of the new anti-clotting drugs
The oral anticoagulant warfarin (Coumadin) became available for prescription in 1954. This anti-clotting drug commanded national attention when President Dwight Eisenhower received the drug as part of his treatment following a heart attack. No other oral anticoagulant was successfully developed and marketed in the United States until 2010. Warfarin is a dangerous drug. Along with insulin, it is responsible for the most emergency hospitalizations due to adverse drug reactions. Whereas insulin causes low blood sugar, warfarin is notorious for the complication of major bleeding. Warfarin is plagued by hundreds of drug-drug an...

Neuroprotective effect of bicyclol in rat ischemic stroke: down-regulates TLR4, TLR9, TRAF6, NF-κB, MMP-9 and up-regulates claudin-5 expression.
Conclusions: Bicyclol has neuroprotective effect on cerebral ischemia, and this protection may be through down-regulating TLR4, TLR9, TRAF6, NF-κB, MMP-9 and up-regulating claudin-5 expression. PMID: 23850770 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Association of hepatitis B virus infection with decreased ischemic stroke
ConclusionHBV was correlated with a reduced risk of AIS development. Although a decrease in AIS risk was noted in the patients with HBV, preventing the development of AIS in this population warrants further attention.

Purinoreceptors and VZV Vasculopathy (P1.263)
Conclusions:Overall, VZV infection caused a transient rise in extracellular ATP. Importantly, we found that aside from its known antiplatelet effects, P2Y12 antagonist clopidogrel also inhibits VZV infection, independent of downstream inhibition of glycoprotein IIB/IIIA, and may serve as an alternative antiviral therapy for VZV vasculopathy.Disclosure: Dr. Wyborny has nothing to disclose.

Systematic Investigation of the Effect of Powerful Tianma Eucommia Capsule on Ischemic Stroke Using Network Pharmacology
CONCLUSIONS: Seven new putative target genes (ACHE, ADRA1A, AR, CHRM3, F7, GABRA1, and PRSS1) were observed in this work. Based on the result of GO and KEGG analysis, this work will be helpful to further demonstrate the molecular mechanism of PTEC treatment of IS.PMID:34194527 | PMC:PMC8203382 | DOI:10.1155/2021/8897313

Rapid Decline in Kidney Function in Sickle Cell Disease
Conclusion:Rapid decline in eGFR is common in SCD. Use of ACE-I/ARB and history of stroke are associated with rapid decline in renal function. Rapid decline in eGFR is associated with an increased risk of death in SCD. Long-term studies are required to determine if therapies that may reduce loss of kidney function may decrease mortality in SCD.DisclosuresAtaga: Pfizer: Research Funding; Bioverativ: Honoraria, Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees; Novartis Pharmaceuticals: Honoraria; Modus Therapeutics: Honoraria; Global Blood Therapeutics: Honoraria, Membership on an entity's Board of Directo...
