Will unpredictable side effects dim the promise of new Alzheimer ’s drugs?
A sea change is underway in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, where for the first time a drug that targets the disease’s pathology and clearly slows cognitive decline has hit the U.S. market. A related therapy will likely be approved in the coming months. As many neurologists, patients, and brain scientists celebrate, they’re also nervously eyeing complications from treatment: brain swelling and bleeding, which in clinical trials affected up to about one-third of patients and ranged from asymptomatic to fatal.
The side effect—amyloid-related imaging abnormalities, or ARIA—remains mysterious. “We don’...

Epidemiology, repair technique, and predictors of stroke and mortality in penetrating carotid artery injuries
This retrospective review of the NTDB found that carotid repair was associated with improved mortality outcomes compared to ligation; however, there was no difference in stroke outcome. The factors predictive of stroke were low GCS, high ISS, and a history of neurological deficit prior to injury and those predictive of in-hospital mortality were carotid ligation, low GCS, high ISS, and cardiac arrest.

Early Thoracic Endografting is Safe in Patients with Uncomplicated Type B Aortic Dissection
Zentralbl Chir. 2023 May 30. doi: 10.1055/a-2060-9864. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere are many publications dealing with treatment options for uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (TBAD). Early TEVAR (Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair) may improve aortic-specific survival and delay disease progression in the long-term. Especially in patients with uncomplicated TBAD and additional high-risk features, preemptive TEVAR may improve late outcomes.We conducted a retrospective analysis of all patients treated for TBAD in our hospital between February 2017 and September 2021. Comorbidities, intraoperative data, 30-day mor...

Sociodemographic disparities in concomitant left atrial appendage occlusion during cardiac valve operations
by Ayesha P. Ng, Nikhil Chervu, Yas Sanaiha, Amulya Vadlakonda, Elsa Kronen, Peyman Benharash
BackgroundSociodemographic disparities in atrial fibrillation (AF) management and thromboembolic prophylaxis have previously been reported, which may involve inequitable access to left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) during cardiac surgery. The present study aimed to evaluate the association of LAAO utilization with sex, race, and hospital region among patients with AF undergoing heart valve operations. MethodsAdults with AF undergoing valve replacement/repair in the 2012 –2019 National Inpatient Sample were identified and str...

High prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm in older men with cerebrovascular disease: Evaluation of a local screening program
This report evaluates the results of a decade's operation of a local screening program for AAA in this selected neurologic population.MethodsMen aged ≥60 years and admitted to the neurology ward of a community-based hospital in the Netherlands from 2006 to 2017 with a diagnosis of TIA or stroke were selected for screening. The diameter of the abdominal aorta was assessed by abdominal ultrasonography. Patients with detected AAA were referred for evaluation by a vascular surgeon.ResultsAAA was detected in 72 of 1,035 screened patients (6.9%). AAAs with a diameter of 3.0–3.9 cm accounted for 61.1% of the total aneurysms f...

Right-sided weakness in a Rwandan patient with untreated Tetralogy of Fallot
DiscussionIn countries where surgical repair of TOF is not available, early recognition and medical management are key in temporizing the development of devastating sequelae. Describing the prevalence of CHD in Rwanda is urgent, requiring further research by which effective prevention and treatment strategies can be developed.

Impact of atrial fibrillation on in-hospital outcomes among hospitalizations for cardiac surgery: an analysis of the National Inpatient Sample
The short-term impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) on cardiac surgery hospitalizations has been previously reported in cohorts of various sizes, but results have been variable. Using the 2005–2014 National Inpatient Sample, we identified all adult hospitalizations for cardiac surgery using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification as any procedure code and AF as any diagnosis code. We estimated the impact of AF on inpatient mortality, length of stay (LOS), and cost of hospitalization using survey-weighted, multivariable logistic, accelerated failure-time log-normal, and log-tr...

Protocol for GUos renovisceral Artery reconstruction-1: a prospective, multicentre, single-arm clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a multibRANched sTEnt graft systEm for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (GUARANTEE study)
Introduction
The multibranched off-the-shelf stent graft is a promising treatment option for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA). A commercially available, multibranched, off-the-shelf endograft called the t-Branch stent graft has demonstrated favourable midterm outcomes. Another two investigational off-the-shelf endografts, the GORE EXCLUDER Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis and E-nside multibranch stent graft system, are still being developed. However, these three endografts have an unsatisfactory anatomic feasibility rate in patients with TAAA. Based on the concept of Guo’s renovisceral artery reconstruct...
