The comprehensive, customized, cost-effective approach (CCCAP) to prevention of dementia
This article proposes one way. It requires that the approach be (1) comprehensive, taking into account all relevant environmental, socioeconomic, and individual risk and protective factors; (2) customized, because contributing factors vary by region and among individuals; and (3) cost effective, implemented in actionable units. Savings of scale could occur by preventing stroke, heart disease, and dementia together. They share the same risk factors and pose risks for each other. Brain health could be the unifying, motivating, and actionable key to health, productivity, and well-being.PMID:35103397 | DOI:10.1002/alz.12586

Sustainability of Intravenous Alteplase Administration via Telephone-Based Consult: Data from a US Health System
Despite multiple advances in management over the last few decades, acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is still associated with high morbidity and mortality.1 Intravenous alteplase (IV tPA) was shown to be efficacious and safe for AIS about a quarter century ago2 and remains the only Food and Drug Administration-approved medication for this indication. Though ideal, stroke neurologists may not be available in-person to decide whether to administer tPA to an AIS patient.

Assessing the Health and Economic Impact of a Potential Menthol Cigarette Ban in New York City: a Modeling Study
AbstractMenthol in cigarettes increases nicotine dependence and decreases the chances of successful smoking cessation. In New York City (NYC), nearly half of current smokers usually smoke menthol cigarettes. Female and non-Latino Black individuals were more likely to smoke menthol-flavored cigarettes compared to males and other races and ethnicities. Although the US Food and Drug Administration recently announced that it will ban menthol cigarettes, it is unclear how the policy would affect population health and health disparities in NYC. To inform potential policymaking, we used a microsimulation model of cardiovascular d...

Meta ‐analysis of clinical outcomes of PCSK9 modulators in patients with established ASCVD
AbstractThe advent of monoclonal antibodies targeting proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) ushered in a new era of dyslipidemia pharmacotherapy. The first two antibodies targeting PCSK9 (evolocumab, alirocumab) approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provided significant and sustained reductions in atherogenic lipids and a reduced risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events. More recently, phase 3 trials of inclisiran —a small interfering RNA-based agent targeting PCSK9—reported similar lipid-lowering effects and preliminary evidence of ASCVD risk reduction, a...
