Increased Risk of Bullous Pemphigoid after First-Ever Stroke: A Population-Based Study.
CONCLUSIONS: The risk of BP is increased in first-ever stroke patients in a nationwide population-based cohort and this association is independent of well-known confounders of BP. PMID: 28467996 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Higher diastolic blood pressure at admission and antiedema therapy is associated with acute kidney injury in acute ischemic stroke patients.
Authors: Micozkadioglu H Abstract Antiedema therapy with mannitol and furosemide is widely used for prevention and management of cerebral edema, elevated intracranial pressure, and cerebral hernia. There are some reports about mannitol and furosemide as risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI). We investigated the risk factors for AKI including antiedema therapy in acute ischemic stroke patients. The subjects were 129 patients with acute ischemic stroke including 56 females and 73 males with a mean age 68.16±12.29 years. Patients were divided into two groups: patients with AKI and without AKI according to Acute K...

A Case of Transient Global Amnesia: A Review and How It May Shed Further Insight into the Neurobiology of Delusions
Conclusion In closing, our patient’s episode of TGA combined with her emotional and perceptual response lends credence to the proposal of a “fear/paranoia” circuit in the genesis of paranoid delusions—a circuit incorporating amygdala, frontal, and parietal cortices. Here, neutral or irrelevant stimuli, thoughts, and percepts come to engender fear and anxiety, while dysfunction in frontoparietal circuitry engenders inappropriate social predictions and maladaptive inferences about the intentions of others.[54] Hippocampus relays information about contextual information based on past experiences and the current situat...

Abstract 166: Developing the Veterans Affairs Cardiac Risk Score Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: We demonstrated that an EHR in a specific population could risk-stratify patients as well those from as organized cohort studies and greatly improve calibration. Further, our finding that the ASCVD score greatly underpredicted in our population, while previous work have reported the ASCVD over-predictind in other cohorts, suggests that rather than arguing about which risk tool is best, our patients may be better served by us focusing on calibrating CV risk tools for our specific patient population using their EHR data.

The Assassin: Chagas Cardiomyopathy
A 35-year-old Salvadoran woman had been hospitalized for heart failure multiple times over a 5-year period, yet the etiology of her disease remained elusive. She also had a history of stroke. Again, she presented to the emergency department with shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue. Although these symptoms were chronic, they had been increasing for 3 weeks prior to admission. The patient denied fevers, chills, cough, or gastrointestinal complaints. She had no history of smoking, alcohol consumption, or illicit drug use. Her medications included carvedilol, furosemide, and warfarin.

Early neurological complications after transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect with nitinol wire mesh occluder.
Abstract Atrial septal defect (ASD) was closed percutaneously in an 18-year-old boy with a 27 mm nitinol wire mesh occluder according to standard procedures. Three hours after the procedure, he presented anxiety attacks, aggression, a vacant stare and a verbal/speaking disorder. Small ischaemic stroke localised in the right temporal/parietal region of the central nervous system was confirmed by computed tomography examination. Activated partial thromboplastin time was then 54 s despite continuous heparin infusion. Heparin dose was increased and symptomatic treatment was introduced (mannitol, furosemide, propofol, ...

Short‐Term Hemodynamic and Neuroendocrine Effects of Pimobendan and Benazapril in Dogs with Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease and Congestive Heart Failure
Conclusions and Clinical ImportancePimobendan improves short‐term cardiac function more than benazepril in dogs with CHF caused by MMVD. Pimobendan treatment enables the heart to work at smaller end‐systolic and diastolic dimensions while maintaining adequate forward stroke volume. Some of the treatment responses found in neuroendocrine profile might have therapeutic relevance.

Prevalence of hypertension and its treatment among adults presenting to primary health clinics in rural Zambia: analysis of an observational database
Conclusions: Age standardized prevalence of hypertension in rural primary health clinics in Zambia was high compared to other studies in rural Africa; however, we diagnosed hypertension with only one measurement and this may have biased our findings. Future efforts to improve hypertension control should focus on population preventive care and primary healthcare provider education on individual management.

Hypovolemic men and women regulate blood pressure differently following exposure to artificial gravity
Conclusions (1) Even with gender differences, AG should be considered as a space flight countermeasure to be applied to astronauts before reentry into gravity, (2) men and women regulate blood pressure during an orthostatic stress differently following exposure to artificial gravity and (3) the trigger for presyncope may be cardiac filling.

Hemopericardium under dabigatran for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation
We report a polymorbid 75-year old male under a therapy with dabigatran, valsartan, amlodipine, nicorandil, furosemide, atorvastatin, bisoprolol, metformin, tizanidine, pantoprazole, and tramadol. He suffered from chest pain for 4 months. Coronary angiography showed only ectatic coronary arteries. He started taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. He was hospitalized because of dyspnea starting 10 days before admission, melena, and renal failure. Hemopericardium was diagnosed and pericardiocentesis yielded 2000 ml hemorrhagic fluid. Review of previous echocardiograms showed a 4 mm echo-free space, epicardial fat o...

Prevention of Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury by Furosemide With Matched Hydration in Patients Undergoing Interventional Procedures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials
Conclusions The main finding of this meta-analysis is that furosemide with matched hydration by the RenalGuard System may reduce the incidence of CI-AKI in high-risk patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention or transcatheter aortic valve replacement. However, further independent high-quality randomized trials should elucidate the effectiveness and safety of this prophylactic intervention in interventional cardiology.

Healthcare Team Attitudes Influencing the Use of Intravenous Furosemide in a Long Term Care Center for the Treatment of Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
For residents living in long term care (LTC), cardiovascular disease represents one of the broadest challenges. Included within this diagnostic category are a number of diseases such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke, with heart failure being one of the common complications. Among comorbidities seen in the elderly, acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) exacerbations occur often and contribute to approximately 27-45% of the re-hospitalizations observed within thirty days post discharge into the LTC setting.

Hypertension's 3 Dilemmas and 3 Solutions: Pharmacology of the Kidney in Hypertension
Abstract: The Hypertension Community has 3 conflicting dilemmas: a goal systolic pressure of 120 mm Hg or less (the SPRINT Trials), 40% of our 60,000,000 hypertensives still sustain blood pressures above 140/90 mm Hg, and our most potent antihypertensive drug minoxidil sits on the sidelines, imprisoned in the Food and Drug Administration's Black Box designation. My solutions to these dilemmas are: (1) review of the facts of our most potent antihypertensive drug minoxidil which is essentially free of toxicity, (2) treatment focus on the fundamental cause of high blood pressure, that is excess dietary sodium and, (3) prevent...
