Increased complications of chronic erythrocytapheresis compared with manual exchange transfusions in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease
ConclusionaRBCX may have increased complication risks compared with MET for chronic transfusion therapy in SCD. Risks and benefits of aRBCX and MET should be considered when selecting a chronic transfusion modality. Transfusion therapy modalities should be compared in prospective studies for stroke prevention in children with SCD.

Neuroprotective effect of a novel gastrodin derivative against ischemic brain injury: involvement of peroxiredoxin and TLR4 signaling inhibition.
Authors: Mao XN, Zhou HJ, Yang XJ, Zhao LX, Kuang X, Chen C, Liu DL, Du JR Abstract The inhibition of extracellular inflammatory peroxiredoxin (Prx) signaling appears to be a potential therapeutic strategy for neuroinflammatory injury after acute ischemic stroke. Gastrodin (Gas) is a phenolic glycoside that is used for the treatment of cerebral ischemia, accompanied by regulation of the autoimmune inflammatory response. The present study investigated the neuroprotective effects of Gas and its derivative, Gas-D, with a focus on the potential mechanism associated with inflammatory Prx-Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) sign...

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura Masking Hodgkin Disease: A Paraneoplastic Syndrome or Simply a Mere Association?
We report a 74-year-old female who presented to the emergency department complaining of bruising and stroke-like symptoms. She underwent a negative stroke work-up but was found to have profoundly low platelets and splenomegaly on examination. An abdominal CT scan was ordered, showing pelvic lymphadenopathy. Lymphoma was suspected. However, subsequent bone marrow and lymph node biopsies showed no evidence of this. She was treated for immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) to no avail while a lymphoma work-up continued. Months later, a third and final lymph node biopsy yielded evidence of Hodgkin disease (HD) and she began tr...

Clinical significances and features of prompt brain CT scan after intracranial artery stenting: analysis of 501 cases.
Authors: Li J, Cheng SY, Xiong XY, Duan CM, Liu L, Zhou Y, Zhang JR, Wang L, Zhou K, Gong ZL, Liu Y, Wei F, Shuai J, Shen L, Yang QW Abstract Cerebral hemorrhage is a serious complication of intracranial artery stenting that could be fatal without timely identification and treatment. Prompt brain CT scan would help to evaluate whether cerebral hemorrhage occurs, however, the diverse features of the CT scan immediately after stenting could influence the judgement sometimes. Therefore, we analyzed and summarized these features to help to determine the clinical significance of these CT features. The prompt CT features...

Neurocognitive deficits in older patients with cancer
Conclusion Neurocognitive deficits (MCI and dementia) are more common in older adults with cancer. Factors associated with neurocognitive deficits include high comorbidity, stroke, warfarin use and metastatic cancer. Identification and management of these conditions is of great relevance in the course of cancer therapy.

Potassium 2-(1-hydroxypentyl)-benzoate improves depressive-like behaviors in rat model
In this study, we demonstrated that PHPB improved depressive-like behaviors induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) in rats. Male SD rats were subjected to the stress for five weeks. PHPB (30 and 100 mg/kg) or fluoxetine (FLX 10 mg/kg, as positive control) was administered orally from the third week in CUMS procedure. The behavioral tests were applied and then the biochemical studies were carried out. PHPB or FLX treatment rescued the behavioral deficiency in CUMS-exposed rats. Meanwhile, PHPB normalized the enhanced level of serum corticosterone, improved hippocampal and serum BDNF levels, as well as...

Efficacy and Safety of Rivaroxaban versus Warfarin in Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation and a History of Cancer: Observations from ROCKET AF.
Conclusion: In ROCKET AF, a history of cancer was associated with a higher risk of bleeding and non-cardiovascular death, but not ischemic events. The relative efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban compared with warfarin were not significantly different in patients with and without a history of cancer. The results of this study are exploratory and should be taken in context of the study population, which may not be generalizable to those with advanced malignancy. Further investigation is needed to understand optimal anticoagulation strategies in patients with AF and cancer. PMID: 30219887 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

miR ‑29a ameliorates ischemic injury of astrocytes in vitro by targeting the water channel protein aquaporin 4.
miR‑29a ameliorates ischemic injury of astrocytes in vitro by targeting the water channel protein aquaporin 4. Oncol Rep. 2019 Jan 09;: Authors: Zheng Y, Pan C, Chen M, Pei A, Xie L, Zhu S Abstract Ischemic stroke is the main cause of brain injury and results in a high rate of morbidity, disability and mortality. In the present study, we aimed to determine whether miR‑29a played a protective role in oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) injury via regulation of the water channel protein aquaporin 4 (AQP4). Real‑time PCR and western blotting were used to assess miR‑29a levels and AQP4 protein levels,...

Breast Cancer Screening Participation of Women with Chronic Diseases in Korea: Analysis of the 2012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
In conclusion, low participation rate in breast cancer screening in women with some chronic diseases was identified. The results from this study may provide an important contribution for helping to maintain and increase participation in cancer screening of patients with chronic diseases.

The association between education and risk of major cardiovascular events among prostate cancer patients: a study from the Diet, Cancer and Health study.
CONCLUSIONS: The risk of acute myocardial infarction was increased in prostate cancer patients with short or medium education compared with long education. Although the educational inequality did not seem to be explained by differences in treatment, lifestyle or cardiovascular risk factors, monitoring of cardiovascular health and health promotion should involve all prostate cancer patients regardless of social position to ensure best prognosis for all.

Releasing an immune system brake could help patients with rare but fatal brain infection
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) The anti-cancer drug pembrolizumab has shown promise in slowing or stopping the progression of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a typically fatal infection of the brain caused by the JC virus (JCV). This finding comes from a small-scale study by scientists at National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health. The study appears in the New England Journal of Medicine.
