Organization and costs of stroke care in outpatient settings: Systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: Thirty studies, of which 14 (46.6%) were related to post-stroke costs and 12 (40%) to cardiovascular prevention costs. The results show that most of them are retrospective analyzes of different databases of short-term hospital care, and do not allow a detailed analysis of the costs by different segments of services. The possibilities for improvement are centered on primary and secondary prevention, selection and pre-hospital transfer, early discharge with support, and social and health care.PMID:36773416 | DOI:10.1016/j.aprim.2023.102578

Neuroprotective Mechanisms of the ACE2–Angiotensin-(1-7)–Mas Axis in Stroke
Abstract
The discovery of beneficial neuroprotective effects of the angiotensin converting enzyme 2–angiotensin-(1-7)–Mas axis [ACE2–Ang-(1-7)–Mas] in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke has spurred interest in a more complete characterization of its mechanisms of action. Here, we summarize findings that describe the protective role of the ACE2–Ang-(1-7)–Mas axis in stroke, along with a focused discussion on the potential mechanisms of neuroprotective effects of Ang-(1-7) in stroke. The latter incorporates evidence describing the actions of Ang-(1-7) to counter the deleterious effects of angiotensin II (A...
