The clot thickens —enhanced integration of stroke and thrombosis training
AbstractThere is significant overlap between knowledge and its clinical application in stroke and thrombosis& vascular medicine. Formal integration of training is, however, not standard. After the hyperacute phase of management, personalized medical decisions are often needed regarding antithrombotics and anticoagulants that leverage clinical practice parameters from both disciplines with a unique emphasis on minimizing neurologic treatment complications. We completed an ad hoc survey of adult thrombosis fellowships at several North American centers. We discovered that direct integration of training programs is not pre...

A Copernican Approach to Brain Advancement: The Paradigm of Allostatic Orchestration
The objective of this presentation is to explore historical, scientific, interventional, and other differences between the two paradigms, so that innovators, researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, patients, end-users, and others can gain clarity with respect to both the explicit and implicit assumptions associated with brain advancement agendas of any kind. Over the course of three decades, a series of brain-centric, evolution-inspired insights have been articulated with increasing refinement, as principles of allostasis (Sterling and Eyer, 1988; Sterling, 2004, 2012, 2014). Allostasis recognizes that the role of the ...

Firefighting and On-Duty Cardiac Deaths
Conclusion Using autopsy data from on-duty fatalities that occurred over a 15-year period, the underlying cardiac pathological conditions associated with sudden cardiac death were investigated among firefighters. Our data suggest a need for updated and improved medical screening for firefighters. Particularly, screening for CHD and cardiac enlargement should be incorporated into a firefighter’s routine screening. Given the important role of EMS in ensuring both civilian and firefighter safety, EMS personnel should be alert to the potential to encounter either sudden cardiac arrest or a myocardial infarction in firefighte...

Surgical Techniques for Implanting the EVAHEART 2 Double Cuff Tipless Inflow Cannula
The EVAHEART 2 (Sun Medical Technology Research Corporation, Nagano, Japan) is an investigational centrifugal ventricular assist device in the United States, introduced a new type inflow, named “double cuff tipless” inflow cannula intended to mitigate the risks of cannula malposition and subsequent ischemic stroke events associated with thrombi around the inflow cannula. To achieve these performance benefits of the “tipless” design, however, it is crucial to adhere to the recommended surgical procedure. We introduced a polymer-based patient model that mimics a dilated cardiomyopathy apex for inflow cannula implanta...
