Impact of Gender on Type II Diabetes Glycemic and Cardiovascular Markers Control and Treatment
CONCLUSION: Both genders exhibited comparable HbA1c levels. Medical treatment optimization along with controlling both measured cardiovascular makers and laboratory result levels was based on comorbidities and complications rather than gender.PMID:33274898 | DOI:10.3923/pjbs.2020.1643.1649

Effect of non-adherence of evidence-based medication prescribing on major adverse cardiovascular events among acute coronary syndrome patients
Background and Aims: Combination therapy with evidence-based medicines, including 4 groups of medication: dual antiplatelet, beta-blocker, ACEI /ARB, and statin, could reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality among patients with the acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and stroke during the first year of discharge between ACS patients received 4 groups and those did not receive at least 1 medication group.

Statins and beta blockers - The most frequently encountered potential prescribing omissions in rural Romanian elderly population
Background and Aims: Cardiovascular diseases (ischaemic heart diseases and stroke) are the leading cause of death in Romania, the death rate of ischaemic heart disease being three times higher than in European Union. The aim of this study was to identify potential prescribing omissions (PPOs) and to determine their prevalence based on the STOPP / START v.2, 2015, criteria for patients over the age of 65 years old.

Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury in Radiologic Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Emergency Setting INTERVENTIONAL
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with low baseline renal function had the highest incidence of postcontrast acute kidney injury after CTA and cerebral angiography, but no fatal adverse effects were documented. Thus, patients suspected of having a stroke should be actively managed with respect to neurovascular function.

Pharmacy-dispensed drugs for secondary prevention after myocardial infarction.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Secondary prophylactic drugs are important for avoiding further cardiovascular events after myocardial infarction. We have examined whether patients collect these drugs from pharmacies and whether there are differences in survival between those who collect versus do not collect the drugs. MATERIAL AND METHOD: All patients <80 years registered in the Norwegian Myocardial Infarction Registry in 2013-16 were included in the study. The Norwegian Prescription Database was used to determine whether patients collected their prescriptions from pharmacies. RESULTS: During the study period,...
