Stroke Prevention, Evaluation of Bleeding Risk, and Anticoagulant Treatment Management in Atrial Fibrillation Contemporary International Guidelines
Publication date: May 2019Source: Canadian Journal of Cardiology, Volume 35, Issue 5Author(s): Marco Proietti, Deirdre A. Lane, Giuseppe Boriani, Gregory Y.H. LipAbstractIn recent years the management of atrial fibrillation patients has progressively and substantially changed because of the introduction of new treatments and the availability of new data regarding the epidemiology and clinical management of these patients. In the past 2 years alone, there have been 7 new guidelines or guideline updates that have been published, which have introduced new recommendations and significantly revised previously published ones. Tw...

Development and Feasibility of a Pacific-Focused Community Weight Management Program
Obesity is a significant public health issue in New Zealand, where two thirds of adults are overweight or obese.1 In New Zealand, Pacific people have a greater burden of overweight and obesity than others; 90% of Pacific adults experience overweight and obesity.1 Pacific rates of ischemic heart disease, stroke, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure are all also markedly greater than for other New Zealanders.1

Feasibility and acceptability of opportunistic screening to detect atrial fibrillation in Aboriginal adults.
CONCLUSION: The iECG device was well accepted within ACCHSs and was feasible to use to screen for AF among Aboriginal patients. Implications for public health: The device can be used in clinical and community settings to screen Aboriginal people for atrial fibrillation to help reduce rates of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases.

Mitral valve surgery with or without coronary bypass grafting: eight-year cohort study.
CONCLUSION: MVR+CABG compared to MVR patients had more comorbidities and greater operative risk, and were independently associated with higher operative mortality and composite morbidity, but not independently associated with higher long-term mortality. PMID: 31415499 [PubMed - in process]

The Role of Interventional Radiologists in Acute Stroke Interventions: A Joint Statement from the Australia and New Zealand Society of Neuroradiology (ANZSNR), the Society of Neurointerventional Surgery (SNIS), the United Kingdom Neurointerventional Group (UKNG), the British Society of Neuroradiology (BSNR), and the European Society for Minimall y Invasive, Neurological Therapy (ESMINT)
We read with interest the article by representatives of European Board of Interventional Radiology, Society of International Radiology, and International RadioSurgery Association (1). The interest of interventional radiologists in mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is welcome, but the cognitive/procedural aspects of MT must be considered along with the complex processes and resources required for service implementation. Training for all proceduralists must be consistent, MT proceduralists ’ posttraining performance must meet satisfactory benchmarks, and MT centers’ outcomes must be acceptable.

How to Keep Alzheimer ’s From Bringing About the Zombie Apocalypse
I tried to kill my father for years. To be fair, I was following his wishes. He’d made it clear that when he no longer recognized me, when he could no longer talk, when the nurses started treating him like a toddler, he didn’t want to live any longer. My father was 58 years old when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. He took the diagnosis with the self-deprecating humor he’d spent a lifetime cultivating, constantly cracking jokes about how he would one day turn into a zombie, a walking corpse. We had a good 10 years with him after the diagnosis. Eventually, his jokes came true. Seven years ...

Effect of clopidogrel in bone healing-experimental study in rabbits.
CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that maintenance of perioperative clopidogrel treatment does not negatively affect bone healing but rather promotes it. Further research is needed in order to find useful applications of this finding. PMID: 31908992 [PubMed]

Inducing ketogenesis via an enteral formulation in patients with acute brain injury:a phase II study.
Conclusion: In patients with acute brain injury, an enterally administered ketogenic formulation increased plasma ketone concentrations, was well tolerated, did not impact on cerebral hemodynamics and can be safely administered.Clinical trial registered at the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12616000332426)Abbreviations: BHB: betahydroxybutyrate; AcAc: acetoacetate; ABI: acute brain injury; TBI: traumatic brain injury; CSF: cerebrospinal fluid; SAH: subarachnoid injury; CVA: cerebrovascular accidents; ICP: intracranial pressure; CPP: cerebral perfusion pressure; ICU: intensive care unit; EVD: external...

Cardiovascular and respiratory effects of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum in the domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus).
In conclusion, pneumoperitoneum with carbon dioxide causes an increase in ETCO2, PaCO2, and PIP, whereas cardiac output and CI decrease. These cardiorespiratory changes should be considered when determining the optimal IAP for laparoscopic procedures in rabbits. PMID: 32255905 [PubMed - in process]

Intensive care admissions and outcomes associated with short-term exposure to ambient air pollution: a time series analysis
ConclusionsIncreased ICU mortality was associated with higher levels of PM2.5. Larger studies are required to determine if the frequency of ICU admissions is positively associated with short-term exposure to air pollution.

Assessment of image quality and dose in contrast-enhanced head and neck CT angiography of New Zealand rabbit.
CONCLUSIONS: Low dose CTA of rabbits with 70 or 80 kVp is feasible in a 256-slice or a 64-slice CT scanner. The radiation dose from the 256-slice CTA was much lower than that from the 64-slice CTA with comparable SNR and CNR. The technique can be further applied in longitudinal monitoring of an animal stroke model in the future. PMID: 32597826 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Weekend carotid endarterectomies are not associated with a greater risk of stroke and/or death in Australia and New Zealand
Data from multiple surgical studies and settings have reported an increase in adverse events in patients admitted or treated over weekends. The aim of this study was to investigate short-term outcomes for patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in Australia and New Zealand based on the day of surgery.

The association between carotid atherosclerosis and treatment with lithium and antipsychotics in patients with bipolar disorder.
CONCLUSION: Lithium treatment may be associated with less progression in carotid intima-media thickness and the reduced risk for atherosclerosis in adults with bipolar disorder, including those with high cardiovascular disease risk. In addition to age and body mass index, antipsychotics may increase carotid intima-media thickness even in the low cardiovascular disease-risk patients.
