Perioperative stroke and myocardial infarction in urologic surgery
CONCLUSIONS: Perioperative stroke and myocardial infarction were confirmed to be uncommon but devastating complications of urologic surgery, with incidence of 0.14% and 0.36%, respectively. Cystectomy was the highest risk urologic procedure. Perioperative stroke and myocardial infarction were strongly associated with age ≥ 70, hypertension, and disseminated cancer.PMID:34129461

GFR-Specific versus GFR-Agnostic Cutoffs for Parathyroid Hormone and Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 in Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease.
CONCLUSION: GFR-specific risk-based cutoffs for PTH1-84 and FGF-23 may facilitate more meaningful risk stratification in advanced CKD than current GFR-agnostic reference ranges derived from healthy adults. This may be most applicable in those with severely reduced GFR. PMID: 31238301 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Androgens and cardiovascular risk: A series of case report in the French and Canadian pharmacovigilance databases.
CONCLUSION: Our study shows a very low report of cardiovascular effects under testosterone, all doubtful. Pending further studies, it seems reasonable to consider the cardiovascular risk of patients who are candidates for hormone therapy for age-related androgen deficiency. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3.
