Incidence of cardiometabolic outcomes among people living with HIV-1 initiated on integrase strand transfer inhibitor versus non-integrase strand transfer inhibitor antiretroviral therapies: a retrospective analysis of insurance claims in the United States
CONCLUSIONS: Over a short average follow-up period of <2 years, INSTI use among treatment-naïve PLWH was associated with an increased risk of several cardiometabolic outcomes, such as CHF, myocardial infarction and lipid disorders, compared to non-INSTI use. Further research accounting for additional potential confounders and with longer follow-up is warranted to more accurately and precisely quantify the impact of INSTI-containing ART on long-term cardiometabolic outcomes.PMID:37306118 | PMC:PMC10258864 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26123

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 16925: Effect of Treadmill Training with Visual Biofeedback on Selected Gait Parameters in Subacute Hemiparetic Stroke Patients
Conclusions: The treadmill with visual biofeedback as conventional gait training has resulted in a significant improvement in parameters such as step length, walking speed, static balance, and a reduction in the use of locomotion aids. However, the achieved improvement in gait parameters is still not in line with the physiological norm.

Evaluating the performance of the PRISMA-7 frailty criteria for predicting disability and death after acute ischemic stroke
Stroke is the second cause of death and disability in the world, affecting close to 14 million people globally per year and being responsible for around 120 million disability-adjusted life years.1,2 More deaths occur worldwide because of stroke than AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined.3 Therefore, being able to identify which individuals with stroke are at highest risk of poor function and mortality is critically important given the need for weighing the risks, costs, and benefits of interventions during various shared decision-making processes.

Rare stroke mechanisms in 4154 consecutive patients: causes, predictors, treatment, and outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: RMS occurred in 5.3% of a large population of consecutive AISs and are most frequently related to medical interventions, cancer, and vasculitis. RMS patients have less traditional risk factors but more systemic comorbidities, hemorrhagic transformations, recurrences, and a worse long-term outcome. Identification of RMS has direct implications for early treatment and long-term outcome.PMID:35994133 | DOI:10.1007/s10072-022-06344-w

Vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging of symptomatic middle cerebral artery atherosclerosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Based on current evidence, contrast enhancement and T1 hyperintensity on high-resolution MRI have high potential as imaging biomarkers of patients with MCA plaques at risk of ischemic events. Future prospective, longitudinal studies of intracranial-plaque high-resolution MRI are required to improve decision-making for the management of intracranial atherosclerotic plaques.PMID:35952437 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinimag.2022.08.001

ASPECT Score and Its Application to Vasospasm in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage: a Case –Control Study
AbstractDelayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI) is a significant complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) and is strongly associated with poorer outcome. The Alberta Stroke Program Early Computer Tomography (ASPECT) score is an established scoring tool, used in acute ischaemic stroke, to quantify early ischaemic changes on CT head scans. We aim to identify if ASPECT scoring correlates with functional outcome in DCI following aSAH. Retrospective case –control study. Inclusion criteria: admission to the Department of Neurosurgery at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (a tertiary neurosurgical centre in the Unite...

Vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging of symptomatic middle cerebral artery atherosclerosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis
A comprehensive understanding of atherosclerotic middle cerebral artery (MCA) plaques aids physicians in diagnosis and treatment of ischemic stroke. High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used to identify imaging biomarkers of symptomatic MCA plaque. We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate which characteristics of MCA plaque are markers of culprit lesions.

What Medications Prevent Delirium in Elderly Medical Inpatients?
This study demonstrated lower rates of delirium in the melatonin arm, with an impressive number needed to treat (NNT) below six patients; mortality and length of hospital stay were unaffected.3 A delirium-prevention effect of melatonin has not been reproduced in other studies, notably Jaiswal et al, which randomized patients to a placebo or 3 mg of melatonin and found no difference in rates of delirium prevention.7  The melatonin receptor agonist ramelteon also has small but favorable evidence for preventing non-ICU hospitalized delirium. This comes from a study of 67 patients aged 65 years or older who were randomized to...

Assessing the characteristics and diagnostic value of plaques for patients with acute stroke using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging
CONCLUSIONS: A larger plaque area and smaller LA in the stenotic MCA, and obvious plaque enhancement might indicate that a patient is prone to acute stroke.PMID:35111645 | PMC:PMC8739121 | DOI:10.21037/qims-21-531

Intracranial vascular imaging detects arterial wall abnormalities in persons with treated HIV infection
Conclusion: In persons at moderate-to-high cardiovascular risk, HIV infection, even when well controlled, may be associated with a greater burden of intracranial large artery disease and, specifically, of ICAD. Studies of the mechanisms underlying higher rates of ischemic stroke in PWH should include evaluation for intracranial large artery disease. VW-MRI provides added value as an adjunct to traditional luminal imaging when evaluating cerebrovascular risk in PWH.

Time-Based Decision Making for Reperfusion in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Decision making in the extended time windows for acute ischemic stroke can be a complex and time-consuming process. The process of making the clinical decision to treat has been compounded by the availability of different imaging modalities. In the setting of acute ischemic stroke, time is of the essence and chances of a good outcome diminish by each passing minute. Navigating the plethora of advanced imaging modalities means that treatment in some cases can be inefficaciously delayed. Time delays and individually based non-programmed decision making can prove challenging for clinicians. Visual aids can assist such decisio...
