Joint Prevalence of Influenza Preventive Behaviors Among Adults-United States, 2020
CONCLUSIONS: The overall joint prevalence was 8.5% (95% CI, 8.0-9.0). Prevalence was lower among older persons (vs younger); Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black persons (vs non-Hispanic White); current and former smokers (vs never smokers); postpartum women (vs neither pregnant nor postpartum); and those with a history of coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (vs not having those respective condition).

Rates of Preeclampsia and Post-preeclamptic Cardiovascular Disease Among US Military Servicewomen: A Retrospective Case-cohort Study
CONCLUSION: In this study, we report overall higher incidence of PE in military women than what is published for civilian women in all races and across all services. Importantly, we do not find significantly higher numbers of PE and post-PE CVD for African American, compared to White women in the military. Our study is not designed to address differences between military and civilian PE epidemiology, but these results deserve further exploration. This study shines light on a health risk unique to women, which we found to be more prevalent in the US Military than published civilian population. Further study to determine the...

What Prohibition Can Teach Us About Drug and Alcohol Policy Today
It’s widely understood today that drinking while pregnant is harmful for the fetus. But the link between alcohol and the health of infants wasn’t as well known in the 1930s, when prohibition was repealed in the U.S. and all sorts of people, pregnant women included, began drinking again.Because prohibition was lifted on a piecemeal basis across the U.S., some counties continued to prohibit alcohol, or stay “dry,” while their neighboring counties were “wet.” Those conditions created what economists call a natural experiment, and made it possible to track the health impacts of maternal drin...

Factors influencing real-life use of direct oral anticoagulants in patients with cerebral sinus and venous thrombosis
Cerebral sinus and venous thrombosis (CSVT) is a rare subtype of stroke caused by thrombosis of the dural sinuses and cerebral veins which comprises 0.5 –1% of all strokes1,2. The annual incidence ranges from 0.22 to 1.57 per 100,000, most often affecting young adults with a median age of 35 years3-5. Among CSVT patients, the female-to-male ratio is 3:1 and women are significantly younger compared to men6. This is largely due to the increased risk of CSVT associated with oral contraceptives, pregnancy and the puerperium3,7,8.

Pregnancy-Associated Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Hospitalizations in the United States
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2023 Jul 7. doi: 10.1152/ajpheart.00262.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTakotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is most common in postmenopausal women aged ≥ 50 years but also affects pregnant individuals. However, there are no national estimates on the prevalence, timing of occurrence, correlates, and outcomes of Pregnancy-associated TCM. Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS: 2016-2020), we describe rates of pregnancy-associated TCM hospitalizations among 13 - 49 years old pregnant individuals in the United States by selected demographic, behavioral, hospital, and clinical characteristi...

Pregnancy-Associated Stroke and Outcomes Related to Timing and Hypertensive Disorders
CONCLUSION: A nationally representative sample of hospitalizations in the United States indicates an increasing trend in the rate of postpartum stroke. Almost half of hospitalizations with pregnancy-associated stroke have concomitant hypertensive disorders. Risk of adverse outcomes, but not mortality, is elevated in patients with stroke occurring in the postpartum period and stroke associated with hypertensive disorders.PMID:37411017 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005249

Chronic myeloid leukemia, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and cardiovascular system
CONCLUSIONS: The current CML treatment target is a cure that leads to normal age and gender-adjusted survival with a "normal" quality of life. Cardiovascular disorders are one of the major obstacles to reaching this target in CML patients. The treatment choices for CML patients must include a cardiovascular perspective.PMID:37401285 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202306_32786
