Hospital discharge hemoglobin values and posthospitalization clinical outcomes in transfused patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
CONCLUSION: Hospital discharge hemoglobin values for transfused surgical patients were not associated with hospital readmission rates except for those receiving postoperative intensive care. Further evaluation is warranted to understand downstream consequences of postsurgical anemia.

Blood Transfusion Frequency and Indications in Yemeni Children with Sickle Cell Disease.
Conclusion: Intermittent blood transfusion remains a common practice for the management of children with acute SCD complications. Main indications were acute anemic crises, severe pain crises, ACS, and stroke. In limited resource settings, such as Yemen, conservative transfusion policy appears to be appropriate.

Clinical Performance of Nonvitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants in Real-World Obese Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1715792The prevalence of both atrial fibrillation (AF) and obesity has steadily increased. Nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have been shown to be more effective and safer than vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for long-term stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular AF. There are still limited data in the literature regarding performance of NOACs in obese patients with AF in the “real world.” The aim of our study was to compare the safety and effectiveness of NOACs versus well-controlled VKA therapy in obese AF patients in a “real-world” setting. Here, we ha...

Executive function in children with sickle cell anemia on transfusion: NIH toolbox utility in the clinical context.
Conclusions: Findings provide evidence for poor development of inhibitory control with age in this patient population. As the NIH Toolbox successfully highlighted expected deficits in this patient population, this study supports the use of this tool as a brief screening measure for children with SCD. The clinical and theoretical implications of the findings are discussed.

Alpha thalassemia, but not β S -globin haplotypes, influence sickle cell anemia clinical outcome in a large, single-center Brazilian cohort
AbstractAlpha thalassemia and beta-globin haplotype are considered classical genetic disease modifiers in sickle cell anemia (SCA) causing clinical heterogeneity. Nevertheless, their functional impact on SCA disease emergence and progression remains elusive. To better understand the role of alpha thalassemia and beta-globin haplotype in SCA, we performed a retrospective study evaluating the clinical manifestations of 614 patients. The univariate analysis showed that the presence of alpha-thalassemia −3.7-kb mutation (αα/-α and -α/-α) decreased the risk of stroke development (p = 0.046), priapism (p = 0.033), and cho...

Validation of the atherothrombotic risk score for secondary prevention in patients with acute myocardial infarction: the J-MINUET study
AbstractThrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Risk Score for Secondary Prevention (TRS2 °P) is a contemporary risk scoring system for secondary prevention based on nine clinical factors. However, this scoring system has not been validated in other populations. The aim of this study was to validate the TRS2°P in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treated with primary perc utaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a nationwide registry cohort. Among 3283 consecutive patients with AMI enrolled in the Japanese registry of acute Myocardial INfarction diagnosed by Universal dEfiniTion (J-MINUET), a total of 2611 pat...

Controversial cardiovascular and hematologic comorbidities in atopic dermatitis
AbstractAtopic dermatitis ’ (AD) systemic involvement is wide-reaching. The cardiovascular and hematological comorbidities of AD have potential for considerable economic and physical burden; however, data surrounding the association between these comorbidities and AD is controversial. This review discusses the cardiovascul ar and hematological comorbidities of AD, detailing the conflicting evidence, pathophysiology, and connection to medications. A PubMed search was conducted for studies detailing the association of cardiovascular and hematological comorbidities with AD, providing approximately 30 results. Additional sea...

Conventional and molecular imaging in sickle cell disease
Conclusions: Central nervous system: About 25% of SCD patients are affected by vascular involvement of central nervous system. CT scan has been used to detect cerebral infarction. Subclinical cranial MRI lesions yield important predictive values as a risk factor of stroke, even when detected in asymptomatic patients. SPECT is a useful technique for early detection of deficits in cerebral perfusion in patients with SCD. Decreases in cerebral perfusions may lead to silent infarction, stroke, or neurocognitive diseases. PET may improve sensitivity in detection of impaired metabolism in the area surrounding a major vessel infa...

An evaluation of canagliflozin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes: an update
Expert Opin Pharmacother. 2021 Jun 11:1-8. doi: 10.1080/14656566.2021.1939675. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIntroductionSodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are proven to ameliorate kidney and heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), in addition to improving glycemic controls. Canagliflozin is a SGLT2i and has proved beneficial for kidney and heart diseases in addition to decreasing the incidence of the composite outcomes of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.Areas coveredThis paper reviews the development of canagliflozin and its effects on renal dysfunction, heart failure, and vascular diseas...

Association of Iso-Osmolar vs Low-Osmolar Contrast Media With Major Adverse Renal or Cardiovascular Events in Patients at High Risk for Acute Kidney Injury Undergoing Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
CONCLUSIONS: Use of IOCM vs LOCM in patients at high risk of AKI undergoing EVAR procedures was associated with a lower risk of MARCE. As prevention of AKI or cardiovascular events after EVAR procedures may lead to reduced morbidity and mortality, this finding may have important clinical implications and should be confirmed through randomized controlled clinical studies.PMID:34280892
