What Sub-Saharan African Nations Can Teach the U.S. About Black Maternal Health
While poor maternal outcomes among Black women in the U.S. is not new, improving it is imperative. U.S. policymakers can look to sub-Saharan Africa for guidance on reversing this trend. Credit: Ernest Ankomah/IPSBy Ifeanyi NsoforABUJA, Jun 2 2023 (IPS) New research shows that Black mothers in the United States disproportionately live in counties with higher maternal vulnerability and face greater risk of preterm death for the fetus, greater risk of low birth weight for a baby, and a higher number of maternal deaths.

Risks of neurological and psychiatric sequelae 2 years after hospitalisation or intensive care admission with COVID-19 compared to admissions for other causes
Brain Behav Immun. 2023 May 30:S0889-1591(23)00132-0. doi: 10.1016/j.bbi.2023.05.014. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe association between COVID-19 and subsequent neurological and psychiatric disorders is well established. However, two important questions remain unanswered. First, what are the risks in those admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) with COVID-19? Admission to ICU is itself associated with neurological and psychiatric sequelae and it is not clear whether COVID-19 further increases those risks or changes their profile. Second, what are the trajectories of neurological and psychiatric risks in patients admitted...

Improving stroke Emergency Department nursing care: The Code Stroke 2.0 pre-test/post-test feasibility study
Activation of an acute ‘Code Stroke’ pathway on hospital arrival improves thrombolysis rates. Whilst post-stroke protocols to manage fever, hyperglycaemia, and dysphagia (Fever, Sugar and Swallow (FeSS) Protocols) have been shown to reduce death and dependency, facilitated implementation in Emergency Department (ED) has been difficult.

Rescue aortic valvuloplasty for severe aortic stenosis is simple and effective in severely hemodynamically compromised patients presenting to centers without on-site heart surgery or TAVI facilities
AbstractManagement of high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) is a challenging issue. The prognosis of patients with AS presenting with therapy-refractory pulmonary edema (RPE) or cardiogenic shock (CS) remains poor. The purpose of this study was to assess the 30-day mortality of rescue percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty (PBAV) in AS patients presenting with RPE or CS in a community-based hospital without on- site heart surgery. From January 2016 to February 2019, we identified consecutively admitted patients with CS or RPE related to severe AS who underwent emergent PBAV. The primary end...

Early Thoracic Endografting is Safe in Patients with Uncomplicated Type B Aortic Dissection
Zentralbl Chir. 2023 May 30. doi: 10.1055/a-2060-9864. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere are many publications dealing with treatment options for uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (TBAD). Early TEVAR (Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair) may improve aortic-specific survival and delay disease progression in the long-term. Especially in patients with uncomplicated TBAD and additional high-risk features, preemptive TEVAR may improve late outcomes.We conducted a retrospective analysis of all patients treated for TBAD in our hospital between February 2017 and September 2021. Comorbidities, intraoperative data, 30-day mor...

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 5213: Attempt to Make the Upper-Limb Item of Objective Fugl & ndash;Meyer Assessment Using 9-Axis Motion Sensors
This study aimed to create a more objective and standardized evaluation based on an FMA of the upper-limb items. A total of 30 first-ever stroke patients (65.3 ± 10.3 years old) and 15 healthy participants (35.4 ± 13.4 years old) admitted to Itami Kousei Neurosurgical Hospital were included. A nine-axis motion sensor was attached to the participants, and the joint angles of 17 upper-limb items (excluding fingers) and 23 FMA upper-limb items (excluding reflexes and fingers) were measured. From the measurement results, we analyzed the time-series data of each movement and obtained the correlatio...

Effect of prior anticoagulation therapy on stroke severity and in-hospital outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke and atrial fibrillation
We aimed to assess the prevalence of prior anticoagulation therapy (warfarin or non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants [NOACs]) among patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and atrial fibrillation (AF) in China and investigate the associations between prior anticoagulation therapy and initial stroke severity and in-hospital outcomes.

Inflammatory markers in patients with hypertension
Br J Hosp Med (Lond). 2023 May 2;84(5):1-8. doi: 10.12968/hmed.2022.0531. Epub 2023 May 22.ABSTRACTHypertension is a chronic disease with high levels of morbidity and disability. Elevated blood pressure can lead to many complications and is the main risk factor for stroke, heart failure and nephropathy. Factors associated with hypertension and inflammatory response differ from those associated with vascular inflammation. The immune system plays a vital role in the pathophysiology of hypertension. Inflammation is particularly relevant in the progression of cardiovascular diseases, which has led to extensive research on infl...
