Planning of spatially-oriented locomotion following focal brain damage in humans: a pilot study - Hicheur H, Boujon C, Wong C, Pham QC, Annoni JM, Bihl T.
Motor impairments in human gait following stroke or focal brain damage are well documented. Here, we investigated whether stroke and/or focal brain damage also affect the navigational component of spatially oriented locomotion. Ten healthy adult participan...

Environmental Pollution: An Under-recognized Threat to Children’s Health, Especially in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Conclusions Patterns of disease are changing rapidly in LMICs. Pollution-related chronic diseases are becoming more common. This shift presents a particular problem for children, who are proportionately more heavily exposed than are adults to environmental pollutants and for whom these exposures are especially dangerous. Better quantification of environmental exposures and stepped-up efforts to understand how to prevent exposures that cause disease are needed in LMICs and around the globe. To confront the global problem of disease caused by pollution, improved programs of public health monitoring and environmental protecti...

Clinical and economic impact of rivaroxaban on the burden of atrial fibrillation: the case study of Japan.
CONCLUSIONS: Introducing rivaroxaban may decrease the burden of NVAF in Japanese society. From a clinical perspective, the reduction in IS and embolic events outweighs the increased risk of anticoagulant-related bleeding; from an economic perspective, reduced event costs offset drug and physician visit costs, resulting in cost savings.

Estimating the economic burden of cardiovascular events in patients receiving lipid-modifying therapy in the UK
Conclusions Revascularisation and myocardial infarction were associated with the highest incremental costs following a CV event. On the basis of real-world data, the economic burden of CV events in the UK is substantial, particularly among those with greater comorbidity burden.

Economic evaluation of ezetimibe treatment in combination with statin therapy in the United States.
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with statin monotherapy, ezetimibe with statin therapy was cost-effective for secondary prevention of CHD and stroke and for primary prevention of these conditions in patients whose LDL-C level is ≥ 100 mg/dL and in patients with diabetes, taking into account a 90% cost reduction for ezetimibe.

Study on COgnition and Prognosis in the Elderly (SCOPE): Design and Objectives.
Authors: Hansson L Abstract Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events, including stroke, as well as for white matter lesions of the brain. There is also evidence to link cognitive impairment and dementia to hypertension. However, it has not been established whether antihypertensive treatment of elderly patients with a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in the range 90-99 mmHg provides protection against major cardiovascular events and cognitive impairment. The Study on COgnition and Prognosis in the Elderly (SCOPE) is the first study designed to assess the effects of antihypertensive drug treatment ...

Resilience after a neurological pathology: what impact on the cognitive abilities of patients with brain damage? - Castor N, El Massioui F.
The aim of this study is to examine resilience in patients with traumatic brain injury and patients who suffered from stroke. As traumatic brain injury and stroke both have a recovery potential, we investigate cognitive recovery in this context. Given the ...

George H.W. Bush Died Less Than 8 Months After His Wife of 73 Years. Doctors Explain Why That ’s So Common
George H.W. Bush died in his Houston home on Nov. 30, less than eight months after his wife of 73 years, Barbara. He was 94. While Bush’s case may seem extraordinary, it’s actually fairly common for spouses to die around the same time. A 2013 study published in the Journals of Gerontology found that the death of a spouse raises a person’s risk of dying by around 30%, compared to those who are still married. Some estimates are even higher. Some research has shown that in the six months after the death of a spouse, the bereaved face odds of mortality 40% to 70% greater than the general public, according to ...

Healthcare resource utilization and costs of major atherothrombotic vascular events among patients with peripheral artery disease after revascularization
CONCLUSION: Patients with PAD who experience major atherothrombotic vascular events post-revascularization have considerably higher healthcare resource use and costs compared with similar metrics pre-revascularization. Therefore, reducing the rate of such events could reduce overall healthcare costs for this population.PMID:33634723 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2021.1891089

Exploring age-sex-specific all-cause mortality in Russia using the RLMS-HSE cohort study data
ConclusionsDeath numbers because of stroke are around the same among males and females. Deaths due to cardiac and neoplasms prevailed in males. Fatal cases due to injuries/accidents among males were more than twice that among females, same for murder/self-murders. The mean death age for cause-related to neoplasm, cardiac, and stroke was around as general population - 66, 69, and 72 years old, and was more than 80 years in senility/old age cause.Key messagesThe official statistics of mortality by Federal State Statistics Service and results getting from surveys are compatible with each other, therefore adequately reflecting...
