Left egocentric neglect in early subacute right-stroke patients is related to damage of the superior longitudinal fasciculus
AbstractA typical consequence of stroke in the right hemisphere is unilateral spatial neglect. Distinct forms of neglect have been described, such as space-based (egocentric) and object-based (allocentric) neglect. However, the relationship between these two forms of neglect is still far from being understood, as well as their neural substrates. Here, we further explore this issue by using voxel lesion symptoms mapping (VLSM) analyses on a large sample of early subacute right-stroke patients assessed with the Apples Cancellation Test. This is a sensitive test that simultaneously measures both egocentric and allocentric neg...

Reweighting Oranges to Apples: Transported RE-LY Trial Versus Nonexperimental Effect Estimates of Anticoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusions: Differences in study populations can and should be considered quantitatively to ensure results are relevant to populations of interest, particularly when comparing trial with nonexperimental findings. See video abstract: http://links.lww.com/EDE/B703.

Apples will never be oranges, but when you go fishing you may get a bite
Dronedarone is the newest available oral antiarrhythmic drug (AAD). In a paper by Ehrlich et al. [1] accompanying this editorial the authors report on risks for myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in AF patients given a first prescription for dronedarone, amiodarone, flecainide, propafenone, or sotalol in 1258 general and 62 cardiology practices between January 2010 and March 2017. They attempt to compare MI and stroke risks in dronedarone patients (n  = 3498) versus those treated with all the other stated antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) analyzed in combination (n = 17,724).

Cardiovascular disease and diabetes in HIV ‐positive and HIV‐negative gay and bisexual men over the age of 55 years in Australia: insights from the Australian Positive & Peers Longevity Evaluation Study
ConclusionsHIV ‐positive GBM more commonly reported heart disease and thrombosis compared with their HIV‐negative peers. These results further highlight the need to understand the impact of HIV on age‐related comorbidities in GBM, to guide optimal screening and treatment strategies to reduce the risk of thes e comorbidities among the HIV‐positive population.

Comparing apples with oranges: The funfair of statistics
The CHA2DS2-VASc score estimates the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.1,2 The CHA2DS2-VASc score accounts for congestive heart failure; hypertension; age of at least 75  years (doubled); diabetes mellitus; previous stroke, transient ischemic attack or thromboembolism (doubled); vascular disease; age 65 to 74 years; and sex category (female). Should the CHA2DS2-VASc score be considered as a categorical or a continuous factor, if the patients have an incremental in crease in risk of death, stroke, or bleeding?

Robot Diagnosis Test for Egocentric and Allocentric Hemineglect.
Conclusions: The MonAmour robot test is a valid, sensitive and reliable tool that can diagnose egocentric and allocentric hemineglect. Future studies will deepen the assessment and understanding of the different forms of hemineglect by testing the motor component of the test in order to use this accurate and integrative measure in daily clinical routine.

The assessment of hemineglect syndrome with cancellation tasks: a comparison between the Bells test and the Apples test
AbstractUnilateral spatial neglect (USN) is a frequent consequence of acquired brain injury, especially following right hemisphere damage. Traditionally, unilateral spatial neglect is assessed with cancellation tests such as the Bells test. Recently, a new cancellation test, the Apples test, has been proposed. The present study aims at comparing the accuracy of these two tests in detecting hemispatial neglect, on a sample of 56 right hemisphere stroke patients with a diagnosis of USN. In order to evaluate the agreement between the Apples and Bells tests, Cohen ’s kappa and McNemar’s test were used to assess differences...

Daily diet of fresh fruit linked to lower diabetes risk
Conclusion The study findings – that eating fresh fruit every day does not raise the risk of diabetes, and may reduce it – are reassuring and in line with dietary advice in the UK. It's also helpful to see evidence that people who already have diabetes are likely to benefit from fresh fruit as well, because there has not been much research into fruit-eating for people with diabetes. However, it's a step too far to say that fresh fruit prevents diabetes or diabetes complications. Fresh fruit is just one part of a healthy diet, and diet is just one of the things that may affect someone's risk of getting diabetes. This ty...

Five-a-day of fruit and veg is good, but '10 is better'
Conclusion This research supports the idea that the more fruit and veg you eat the better – at least, up to 10 portions (800g) a day. It also suggests the number of people who die early might be reduced if they were to eat more than the current recommended guideline daily amount. However, before we take this at face value, there are some important considerations: There are likely to be many confounding factors that may have affected the results. It might be that people who eat a lot of fruit and veg are also more likely to be physically active, consume less alcohol, not smoke and be a healthy weight, or other facto...

No association between adherence to the healthy Nordic food index and cardiovascular disease amongst Swedish women: a cohort study
ConclusionThe present results do not support an association between a healthy Nordic food index and risk of cardiovascular disease in Swedish women. There was also no effect modification by alcohol intake, BMI or age. Our finding of an interaction with smoking status requires reproduction.
