Comparative Safety Analysis of Oral Antipsychotics for In-Hospital Adverse Clinical Events in Older Adults After Major Surgery : A Nationwide Cohort Study
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that atypical antipsychotics and haloperidol have similar rates of in-hospital adverse clinical events in older patients with postoperative delirium who receive an oral low-to-moderate dose antipsychotic drug.PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCE: National Institute on Aging.PMID:37665998 | DOI:10.7326/M22-3021

Hypertriglyceridemia-Induced Pseudo –High Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis Manifesting as Ischemic Stroke
Hypertriglyceridemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated levels of triglycerides in the bloodstream.1 The underlying causes are multifactorial and range from metabolic syndrome and genetic predisposition to lifestyle choices.1 The management of hypertriglyceridemia usually involves a combination of lifestyle modifications, control of low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein levels, and pharmacotherapy when necessary.1 The clinical presentation is predominantly asymptomatic; however, some patients present with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and pancreatitis.

Natural History and Sequelae of Penetrating Aortic Ulcer
A man in his 70s with history of tobacco use and hypertension presented for transesophageal echocardiography after a recent diagnosis of ischemic stroke. This demonstrated a moderate right-to-left shunt on Valsalva release and no left atrial appendage thrombus. Assessment of the thoracic aorta revealed a complex penetrating aortic ulcer and saccular aneurysm with thrombus in the distal arch and proximal descending thoracic aorta (Figure). Computed tomography angiography confirmed the presence of multiple penetrating ulcerations with large saccular aneurysms.

Efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants vs vitamin K antagonists in patients with atrial fibrillation and end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Among AF patients with ESRD on chronic hemodialysis, the risk of ischemic stroke, ischemic stroke or systemic embolism, minor bleeding, major bleeding, and all-cause mortality is similar in patients treated with DOACs compared to VKAs. Given that the meta-analysis of RCTs on gastrointestinal bleeding did not confirm the results of the meta-analysis of the observational studies, it cannot be concluded that gastrointestinal bleeding is lower among DOAC-treated patients.PROTOCOL REGISTRATION: PROSPERO CRD42023391966.PMID:37648582 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejim.2023.08.020

Patient Cognitive Status and Physician Recommendations for Cardiovascular Disease Treatment: Results of Two Nationwide, Randomized Survey Studies
ConclusionIn these randomized survey studies, physicians recommended fewer guideline-concordant AMI and stroke treatments to hypothetical patients with early-stage dementia than those with NC. We did not find evidence that physicians recommend fewer treatments to hypothetical patients with MCI than those with NC.
