Brain structure and stroke risk score in subjects without a history of atrial fibrillation
Scand Cardiovasc J. 2022 Dec;56(1):100-102. doi: 10.1080/14017431.2022.2074094.ABSTRACTCHA2DS2-VASc score system aids in clinical decision-making in subjects with atrial fibrillation (AF). Little is known on the association between CHA2DS2-VASc scores and brain structure in patients without cardiac arrhythmia. Detailed brain architecture analysis was performed. Assessment of bivariate correlation between the volume of segmented brain structures and Z-scores of CHA2DS2-VASc showed that higher risk scores correlated negatively and significantly with various brain framework. Our study confirms that a cluster of risk factors i...

What Medications Prevent Delirium in Elderly Medical Inpatients?
This study demonstrated lower rates of delirium in the melatonin arm, with an impressive number needed to treat (NNT) below six patients; mortality and length of hospital stay were unaffected.3 A delirium-prevention effect of melatonin has not been reproduced in other studies, notably Jaiswal et al, which randomized patients to a placebo or 3 mg of melatonin and found no difference in rates of delirium prevention.7
The melatonin receptor agonist ramelteon also has small but favorable evidence for preventing non-ICU hospitalized delirium. This comes from a study of 67 patients aged 65 years or older who were randomized to...

Rehabilitating an attrited language in a bilingual person with aphasia
Clin Linguist Phon. 2022 Apr 26:1-19. doi: 10.1080/02699206.2022.2052966. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLanguage difficulties can arise from reduced exposure to any given language (e.g. attrition) or after brain damage (e.g. aphasia). The manifestations of attrition and aphasia are often similar so differentiating between their effects on language loss and recovery is challenging. We investigated treatment effects for an English-Hebrew bilingual person with stroke-induced aphasia who had minimal contact with his Hebrew for over 14 years. We asked whether his attrited language could be rehabilitated, how effects of attritio...
