A pharmacotherapy review of the novel, oral antithrombotics
ABSTRACT Coagulation disorders account for a high incidence of death in the U.S. due to stroke, myocardial infarction, and venous thromboembolism. In the past few years, numerous agents have been brought to market for the treatment of thromboembolism or prevention of thromboembolism. Similar to warfarin, these agents can cause bleeding disorders, which may exacerbate dental care treatment plans. This literature review examines the newer agents for the treatment of thromboembolism disorders, common side effects and drug interactions, the specific medical conditions each agent treats, and the dental perspective on how to med...

Novel oral anticoagulants
Anticoagulants are often prescribed for patients who have thromboembolic disease or are at risk for thromboembolism or embolic stroke. These agents work by changing the physiologic procoagulant and anticoagulant pathways, either preventing the formation of a clot or slowing progression of an existing clot. The traditional oral anticoagulant is warfarin, which is highly effective in treating thromboembolic disease when carefully managed, but it has the drawbacks of needing frequent monitoring of the patient ’s international normalized ratio (INR) and being associated with patient noncompliance.

Does Botulinum neurotoxin type A treatment for sialorrhea change oral health?
ConclusionBNT-A injections according to the current protocol can effectively manage sialorrhea while maintaining oral health.Clinical relevanceOral health can be considered the mirror of general human health, as the cause of many diseases. Saliva plays a crucial role in protecting the oral cavity. The present study is of high clinical relevance because, although earlier research has proved the effect of Botulinum neurotoxin type A injections on reduction in saliva flow, data about the risks of the treatment method to the oral condition through affecting saliva composition has so far been missing.

Palm reading to indicate health status? get a grip!
A study of 140,000 people in 14 countries suggests grip strength may predict the risk of having a heart attack, a stroke, or dying young more accurately than measures of blood pressure. Researchers see it as a simple, inexpensive test but others question the legitimacy of any link between grip strength and future heart problems.

Dental procedures in patients taking antithrombotics
Patients taking medications for thrombus or clot formation disorders are often seen in the dental office. These individuals are at a higher risk for bleeding while they are taking these medications, yet their risk for stroke, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and venous thromboembolism (VTE) increases if the medications are discontinued. Dental practitioners have followed various recommendations for the use of these agents, but newer agents have come on the market and recommendations change. Antithrombotics fall into the categories of anticoagulant, antiplatelet, or fibrinolytic agents.

Obstructive sleep apnea surgery
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive pharyngeal collapse during sleep. The result is fragmented sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness; hypoxia and hypercarbia; decreased vigilance, motor coordination, and executive function; depression; and decreased quality of life. If untreated, the patient can develop hypertension, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, a higher risk for cardiovascular events, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Both stroke and all-cause mortality are both increased as OSA increases in severity.
