No Evidence of the “Weekend Effect” in the Northern New South Wales Telestroke Network
Conclusions: The weekend effect is not evident in the Northern NSW telestroke network experience, though this study did identify some opportunities for improvement in the delivery of acute stroke therapies.

Multiple Peri-Operative Complications are Associated with Reduced Long Term Amputation Free Survival Following Revascularisation for Lower Limb Peripheral Artery Disease: A Population Based Linked Data Study.
CONCLUSION: Multiple complications after surgery for lower limb PAD carried a compounding risk of reduced long term amputation free survival. Patients experiencing at least one complication form a high risk group that requires increased attention to prevent the potential development of further complications.

Intercellular Conduction Optimizes Arterial Network Function and Conserves Blood Flow Homeostasis During Cerebrovascular Challenges.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight the integral role of intercellular electrical signaling in transcribing focal stimuli into coordinated changes in cerebrovascular contractile activity and expose, a hitherto unknown mechanism for flow regulation after stroke.

Applying contemporary antithrombotic therapy in the secondary prevention of chronic atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
Publication date: Available online 23 October 2019Source: American Heart JournalAuthor(s): Robert C. Welsh, Eric D. Peterson, Raffaele De Caterina, Christoph Bode, Bernard Gersh, John W. EikelboomAbstractFor four decades, anti-thrombotic therapy with aspirin has been a cornerstone of secondary prevention for patients with chronic atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Unfortunately, despite the use of evidence-based therapies, patients with ASCVD continue to have recurrent major adverse cardiovascular (CV) events including death, myocardial infarction and stroke -- at a rate of approximately 2–4% per year. To co...

Type A aortic dissection in patients over the age of seventy in the UK
ConclusionsATAD is a life ‐threatening condition with a high mortality rate if left untreated. Our results show that surgery for ATAD in patients over 70 is feasible with acceptable mortality rates. However, similar to previous studies, rates of stroke in older patients may be higher. The present study supports the notion that age should not be a discriminating factor in operating on patients with TAAD.

Outcomes Among Clopidogrel, Prasugrel, and Ticagrelor in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients Who Underwent Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention From the TOTAL Trial
ConclusionsIn this observational analysis of STEMI patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention, ticagrelor was associated with improved outcomes compared with clopidogrel and prasugrel. An appropriately powered randomized trial is needed to confirm these findings.RésuméContexteIl n’existe pas d’analyse robuste comparant les inhibiteurs P2Y12 à prise orale (clopidogrel, prasugrel et ticagrélor) chez les patients ayant subi un infarctus du myocarde avec élévation du segment ST (STEMI) traités par une intervention coronaire percutanée (ICP) primaire. Nous avons entrepris d’évaluer les rés...

Inclusion of a care bundle for fever, hyperglycaemia and swallow management in a National Audit for acute stroke: evidence of upscale and spread
In the Quality in Acute Stroke Care (QASC) trial undertaken in stroke units (SUs) located in New South Wales (NSW), Australia (2005 –2010), facilitated implementation of a nurse-led care bundle to manage fever,...

Atrial fibrillation with percutaneous coronary intervention: Navigating the minefield of antithrombotic therapies
This review aims to provide insights into contemporary therapeutic options for the treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and compares current international guidelines. AF is a common cardiac arrhythmia and a major risk factor for stroke. The risk of stroke can be reduced with the use of oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy. However, for patients with AF, PCI necessitates the use of combined antithrombotic therapies (OAC and antiplatelet therapies) to reduce thrombotic coronary complications.

Googling Location for Operating Base of Mobile Stroke Unit in Metropolitan Sydney
Conclusions: Any of the ECR capable hospital can serve as a hub for MSU. We provide a method to identify the hub based on location of suburbs less well served by other hospital.

Googling service boundaries for Endovascular Clot Retrieval (ECR) hub hospitals in metropolitan Sydney
Conclusions: The simulation studies supported a minimum of 4 ECR hubs servicing Sydney. This model provides data on number of suburbs and population at risk of stroke that can reach these hubs within 30 minutes.

Is Incorrect Anti-Coagulation Dosing Contributing to Ischaemic Stroke Burden? A Retrospective Single-Centre Study from Regional New South Wales, Australia
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) contributes to 30% of ischaemic stroke presentations. Low doses of anti-coagulants are often prescribed to prevent stroke but ameliorate bleeding risk.

Age-Dependence of Flow Homeostasis in the Left Ventricle
Conclusions: In average, blood spends 1 to 3 beats inside the LV with very low shear stress rates. The apical region is the most prone to blood stasis, particularly in mid-aged adults. The washout of blood in the normal LV is age-dependent due to physiological changes in the degree of apical penetration of the filling waves. Introduction Cardioembolic stroke is a major source of mortality and disability worldwide and blood stasis one of its major determinants (Adams et al., 1986). Left ventricular (LV) function has evolved to maximize mechanical efficiency and ensure organ perfusion at a low cost of energy and fill...
