In Sub-Saharan Africa Hypertension-Driven Disease Rapidly Rising
Based on the experience of a large hospital in Tanzania, Weill Cornell Medical College researchers have discovered a "startlingly" high burden of hypertension in this sub-Saharan African country. In the Journal of Hypertension, the researchers say non-communicable disease -- driven primarily by hypertension, resulting in stroke and other cardiovascular diseases -- accounted for nearly half of the deaths and admissions during a three-year period at Weill Bugando Medical Center, one of Tanzania's preeminent teaching hospitals...

Teaching NeuroImages: Perfusion imaging of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome following revascularization
A 69-year-old man developed acute-onset confusion and hypertension with systolic pressures in the 160s 1 day after carotid endarterectomy for right facial droop from left hemispheric lacunar infarcts. CT perfusion (figure, A–D) demonstrated findings consistent with cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) following revascularization. CHS is caused by loss of autoregulation, hypertension, and ischemia-reperfusion injury resulting in increased regional blood flow and vascular congestion.1 CHS following revascularization may present as ipsilateral headache, focal seizure, or neurologic deficit. Nonperfusion imaging may sh...

Impact of somatic comorbidities on quality of life of patients living with epilepsy in Sagamu, Nigeria
ConclusionSomatic comorbidity is prevalent in this population with significant impact on their quality of life. We emphasize the need to screen for and reduce the numbers of somatic comorbidities in PWE as this can improve their quality of life.

New journal JAMA Cardiology to debut in 2016
As cardiovascular disease remains the No. 1 cause of death and disability worldwide, a new medical journal will premiere early next year to serve the global cardiology community. JAMA Cardiology—to be led by an internationally renowned cardiologist—will premiere as the 12th journal in the JAMA Network, which includes JAMA and 10 other specialty journals.
“The burden of hypertension, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, stroke, valvular heart disease and atrial fibrillation is reaching epidemic proportions worldwide,” writes Howard Bauchner, MD, editor in chief of The JAMA Network, and colleagues in a JAMA edito...

Stress raising your blood pressure? Take a deep breath
Stress is rampant, and high blood pressure (what doctors call hypertension) is on the rise. So it’s no wonder patients often ask if stress is causing their hypertension. We have no proof that stress alone can cause persistently elevated blood pressure. (Part of the reason is that high-quality studies quantifying stress are difficult to conduct.) But stress can certainly raise blood pressure, sometimes impressively. And stress reduction can lower blood pressure, frequently improving overall well-being. Deep, slow breathing is the oldest and best-known technique to decrease stress.
The relationship between stress and blood...

Cohort of renal infarction during 2years at Grenoble teaching hospital.
CONCLUSION: Delay of diagnosis is a real problem for renal infarction, and need to be evocated every flank pain. LDH elevation may help clinician to suggest renal infarction and lead to CT scan. Association of delayed inflammatory syndrome, hypertension and hypokalemia after flank pain strongly suggest renal infarction.

Teaching NeuroImages: Acute infarction of the left medial lemniscus masquerading as a peripheral neuropathy
A 58-year-old woman with hypertension and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome presented with acute paresthesias in her right hand and foot. She had decreased sensation to vibration and pinprick in a right-sided stocking-glove distribution. MRI of the pons confirmed an acute infarction of a paramedian branch of the basilar artery in the left medial lemniscus (figure). In the posterior column pathway, sensory projections from the face, arm, and leg are somatotopically arranged medially to laterally within the medial lemniscus.1,2 Although strokes classically present with numbness, both thalamic and medial lemniscal infarcts can...

Predictors of Direct Oral Anticoagulants Utilization for Thromboembolism Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation.
CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first observational study finding that concomitant use of clopidogrel reduced the likelihood of DOAC utilization while prescription by a neurologist increased the probability of receiving a DOAC over warfarin in patients with AF.This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.

A Point ‐based Prediction Model for Cardiovascular Risk in Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: The CAR‐OLT Score
Conclusion: The point‐based CAR‐OLT risk score can identify patients at risk for CVD complications after OLT surgery (available at: www.carolt.us). This score may be useful for identification of candidates for further risk stratification or other management strategies to improve CVD outcomes after OLT. This article is protected by copyright.

Hospitalizations for cardiovascular disease after liver transplantation in the United States
Conclusions: CVD after liver transplant is evolving and responsible for growing rates of inpatient care. Transplant hospitals are associated with poor outcomes, even after risk adjustment for patient and hospital characteristics, which may be attributable to selective referral of certain patient phenotypes, but could also be related to differences in quality of care. Further study is warranted. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Effects of Normothermic Machine Perfusion Conditions on Mesenchymal Stromal Cells
In this study the effect of NMP perfusion fluid on survival, metabolism and function of thawed cryopreserved human (h)MSC and porcine (p)MSC in suspension conditions was studied. Suspension conditions reduced the viability of pMSC by 40% in both perfusion fluid and culture medium. Viability of hMSC was reduced by suspension conditions by 15% in perfusion fluid, whilst no differences were found in survival in culture medium. Under adherent conditions, survival of the cells was not affected by perfusion fluid. The perfusion fluid did not affect survival of fresh MSC in suspension compared to the control culture medium. The f...
