Clinical trial participant ’s autopsy and brain exam stoke Alzheimer’s drug fears
A full autopsy and detailed examination of the brain of a 79-year-old Florida woman who died after receiving lecanemab, an experimental Alzheimer’s therapy, in a pivotal clinical trial has deepened some researchers’ concerns that it poses serious risks for patients who share the woman’s hard-to-diagnose, preexisting condition. The patient’s history and autopsy “strongly suggests that lecanemab infusions were a catalyst leading to the events resulting in her death,” says Vanderbilt University pathologist Hannah Harmsen, co-author of a recently completed case report, which Science has obtained. The aut...

Effects of nurse-led hierarchical management care on acute stroke patients: A pilot study to promote stroke-associated pneumonia management
ConclusionNurse-led hierarchical management care based on AIS-APS can reduce the incidence of SAP, promote AIS patients' neurological function, and maintain patients' ADL. The results of our study indicated that nurse-led hierarchical management care is feasible for AIS patients and provides individualized interventions for patients with different levels of SAP risk. Nurse-led hierarchical management care could be incorporated into routine nursing practice. Further study is needed and expected to solve more clinical problems.

Dysphagia-related acute stroke complications: A retrospective observational cohort study
Dysphagia, or impaired swallowing, is reported to affect between 8.1% and 45.3% of patients following stroke.1 Dysphagia is associated with longer length of stay (LOS) in acute hospital, increased healthcare costs, and greater long-term institutionalisation.2,3 Aspiration pneumonia mediates a significant proportion of this deleterious association and, in its own right, is associated with increased length of stay in hospital,4 poorer post-stroke functioning,5,6 and increased mortality.7

MELD-score for risk stratification in cardiac surgery
AbstractThe outcome of the patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is also influenced by the renal and hepatic organ functions. Risk stratification, using scores such as EURO Score II or STS Short-Term Risk Calculator for patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, ignores the quantitative renal and hepatic function; therefore, MELD-Score was applied in these cases. We retrospectively examined patient data using the MELD score as a predictor of mortality. To perform a univariate analysis of the data, patients were classified into three groups based on the MELD Score: MELD ...

Impact of Perioperative Sarcopenia and Dysphagia on LVAD Related Complications
Sarcopenia, as defined by decline in muscle quantity/quality, is prevalent in heart failure and associated with high morbidity and mortality. Sarcopenic dysphagia is caused by sarcopenia in the whole body and swallowing-related muscles. We investigated the impact of perioperative sarcopenia and dysphagia on postoperative pneumonia (PNA), stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) and 30-d readmission after LVAD.

Development and internal validation of a clinical risk score for in-hospital mortality after stroke: a single-centre retrospective cohort study in Northwest Ethiopia
Conclusions The prediction model was developed from eight easy-to-collect predictors. The model has excellent discrimination and calibration performance, similar to that of the risk score model. It is simple, easily remembered, and helps clinicians identify the risk of patients and manage it properly. Prospective studies in different healthcare settings are required to externally validate our risk score.

Interrupted intraarterial selective cooling infusion combined with mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke: a prospective, nonrandomized observational cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Interrupted IA-SCI for patients with intracranial large vessel occlusion AIS symptoms treated with MT seems to be safe and associated with favorable functional outcomes.PMID:36964733 | DOI:10.3171/2023.2.JNS222542
