Extreme Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) Risk Recognition
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo distinguish extreme and very high atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) event risk based on prospective epidemiological studies and clinical trial results.Recent FindingsClinical practice guidelines have categorized patients with either a history of one or more “clinical ASCVD” events or “coronary heart disease (CHD) risk equivalency” to be at “very high risk” for a recurrence or a first event, respectively. A 20% or greater 10-year ASCVD risk for a composite 3-point “major” atherosclerotic cardiovascular event (MACE) of non-fatal myocardia l infarction (MI), non-fatal s...

Changes of complement and oxidative stress parameters in patients with acute cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage and the clinical significance.
Authors: Zheng M, Wang X, Yang J, Ma S, Wei Y, Liu S Abstract Changes of complement and oxidative stress parameters in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) or cerebral hemorrhage (CH), and their clinical significance were explored. A total of 122 patients with ACI or CH admitted to the People's Hospital of Zhangqiu Area from August 2018 to September 2019 were collected. There were 59 ACI patients assigned into a cerebral infarction group (CIG) and further 63 CH patients in a cerebral hemorrhage group (CHG). Additionally, 53 healthy people in physical examination during the same period were enrolled as a co...

Imaging and clinical features of cervical artery web: report of 41 cases and literature review
This study investigated the imaging and clinical features of cervical artery web to improve disease diagnosis. Imaging and clinical data of 41 patients with cervical artery web were retrospectively analyzed and summarized in the context of the literature. Of the 8653 patients who underwent carotid computed tomography angiography (CTA) in the past 3  years at our hospital, 41 (0.47%) were diagnosed with cervical artery web. Among the 41 patients, there were 38 web structures in typical position, including 26 web structures located in the internal carotid artery and 12 in the proximal bifurcation of the common carotid arter...

Assessment of Cerebral Vasomotor Reactivity in Patients With Primary Open-angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension Using the Breath-Holding Index
Précis: Patients with ocular hypertension (OHT) do not show impaired cerebral vasodilation responses to hypercapnia but patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) do. Impaired vasoreactivity in patients with POAG may have neuronal or vascular origins and increase stroke risk. Purpose: To investigate changes in cerebral blood flow and cerebral vasomotor reactivity using the breath-holding index in patients with POAG and OHT, to examine whether these parameters contribute to the risk of ischemic stroke. Methods: Thirty patients with POAG, 30 patients with OHT, and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy cont...

COVID-19 and its cardiovascular effects: a systematic review of prevalence studies
In this short interview, Prof. John GF Cleland, senior author ofthis recently published Cochrane review, tells us about what this review found regarding the type of heart and blood vessel problems that complicate COVID-19 infections.Tell us about this review.This review first   focuses on cardiovascular problems pre-existing the development of COVID, usually in cases that were severe enough to require hospitalization. We know that older people are more likely to have cardiovascular disease and to be admitted with severe COVID. We are only looking at associations. It is unclear whether cardiovascular disease or age was the...

A Case of Diagnosis of Occipital Lobe Epilepsy Complicated by Right Hemianopsia Associated with Left Occipital Lobe Cerebral Infarction
We report a case of occipital lobe epilepsy (OLE) in a patient with occipital lobe stroke whose diagnosis was complicated by homonymous hemianopsia. An 81-year-old woman presented with a complaint of “blurred vision” on the right side and was kept under outpatient observation at the Hirabayashi Eye Clinic for homonymous lower right hemianopsia, glaucoma, and post-cataract surgery. Her past medical history included hypertension, angina pectoris, atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus, and lef t occipital lobe cerebral infarction.

How Menopause Affects Cholesterol —And How to Manage It
Kelly Officer, 49, eats a vegan diet and shuns most processed foods. So, after a recent routine blood test revealed that she had high cholesterol, “I was shocked and upset,” she says, “since it never has been [high] in the past.” Officer is not alone. As women enter menopause, cholestrol levels jump—by an average of 10-15%, or about 10 to 20 milligrams per deciliter. (A healthy adult cholesterol range is 125-200 milligrams per deciliter, according to the National Library of Medicine.) This change often goes unnoticed amidst physical symptoms and the general busyness of those years. But, says D...

Dr. Migliore I step off the subway, up the elevator, and up several flights of stairs. There’s a homeless man there who always uses the last stair of the lower staircase as a tray for his food. And by tray, I mean he sets his half-eaten rice burrito directly onto the step and picks around at it while I imagine the guacamole is mixing with Hep B and C. diff and MRSA. He looks up at me, I promise myself for the 100th time I’m going to start carrying cash or Kind bars or something; I give him my best sheepish face, and emerge at street level. I walk toward my hospital and pass a gentleman who sits on a ledge next to the ...
