Aspirin and Subarachnoid Haemorrhage in the UK Biobank
In this study, we aimed to clarify the association between aspirin and SAH in the general population. The UK Biobank is a prospective population-based cohort study. Sex, age, smoking, alcohol, medication use, hypertension, blood pressure, ischaemic heart disease and stroke were recorded at baseline assessments. Follow-up is conducted through linkages to National Health Service data including electronic, coded death certificate, hospital and primary care data. Cox proportional hazards modelling was used to analyse the association between aspirin use and SAH. Of the 501,060 participants included in the analysis, a total of 5...

What to Know About High Triglycerides
Discussions about heart health often center around blood pressure and cholesterol, with factors like poor sleep, smoking, family history of heart disease, and chronic stress thrown in. However, there’s one variable that doesn’t get covered as often, even though it can be an important indicator of cardiovascular risk: triglycerides.
“We don’t really talk about triglycerides very much, especially compared to cholesterol, but they’re actually an essential part of understanding heart health,” says Dr. Adriana Quinones-Camacho, a cardiologist at NYU Langone Health in New York. “For some...

Sex differences in clinical outcomes amongst 1105 patients admitted with hip fractures
AbstractAmongst hip fracture admissions, mortality is higher in men than in women. However, sex differences in other care-quality measures have not been well-documented. We aimed to examine sex differences in mortality as well as a wide range of underlying health indicators and clinical outcomes in adults ≥ 60 year of age admitted with hip fractures from their own homes to a single NHS hospital between April-2009 and June-2019. Sex differences in delirium, length of stay (LOS) and mortality in hospital, readmission, and discharge destination, were examined by logistic regression. There were 7 87 women and 318 men o...

Letter to the Editor: An isolated insular stroke mimics a bout of overt hepatic encephalopathy in a patient with cirrhosis
The manifestations of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) vary from mild neuropsychiatric abnormalities to coma 1,2. Diagnosis and differential diagnosis can be challenging, especially in the hospital setting, where patients may suffer from other metabolic encephalopathies or neurological/psychiatric disorders 1,2,3. Moreover, HE might also occur on top of pre-existing disease, such as dementia 1. Any potential HE precipitating factor should be identified and treated promptly 1. In patients with delirium and cirrhosis, even those with a working diagnosis of HE, a set of laboratory tests including a full blood count, glucose, elect...

Correlation Analysis of Persistence and Recurrence of Stroke in Young Patients Based on Big Data in Healthcare
This study aims to analyze the correlation between the persistence and recurrence of stroke in young patients via big data in healthcare. It provides an in-depth introduction to the background of big data in healthcare and a detailed description of stroke symptoms, so as to better apply the Apriori parallelization algorithm based on compression matrix (PBCM) algorithm against the background of big data in healthcare to analyze it. In our study, patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. By observing the different persistent relationships in the groups, the factors affecting the patients' fasting blood glucose (FBG), gly...

Intersectoral management of patients with abnormal liver enzymes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
Z Gastroenterol. 2023 Feb 15. doi: 10.1055/a-1957-5671. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe prevalence of fatty liver disease has increased significantly in Germany in recent years. With an estimated 18 million German citizens being affected, it is now among the most prevalent diseases. Furthermore, it is also considered a relevant and independent risk factor for other common cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack or stroke. Finally, diabetes mellitus promotes the development of and an unfavorable course of fatty liver disease. Given the high prevalence and complications, the German healthcare system is reaching its li...
