Comparison of risk of stroke in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Conclusions: We observed that PD patients were less likely to develop hemorrhagic stroke than HD patients, and the risk for ischemic stroke was significantly higher for PD patients than for HD patients among the non-Asian patients. However, our findings could be biased due to the heterogeneity of the included studies. PMID: 31296101 [PubMed - in process]

Serum lipoprotein(a) and risk of hemorrhagic stroke among incident peritoneal dialysis patients: a large study from a single center in China.
Conclusions: Among patients with incident PD, a higher serum Lp(a) level may predict a lower risk of hemorrhagic stroke. PMID: 31498021 [PubMed - in process]

The Impact of Acute Kidney Injury on the Long-term Risk of Stroke Kidney in Cardiovascular Disease
Conclusions The patients who recovered from AKI had a higher incidence of developing incident stroke and mortality than the patients without AKI, and the impact was similar to diabetes. Our results suggest that a public health initiative is needed to enhance postdischarge follow-up of renal function and to control the subsequent incidence of stroke among patients who recover from AKI after dialysis.

Variables affecting Stroke Outcome for TPA received between 3 to 4.5 hours (P2.301)
Conclusions: Age, NIHSS and renal dysfunction were significantly associated with worse outcome in patients who had received t-PA between 3 to 4.5 hours. Our findings were consistent but more robust than previous studies showing poorer outcome with renal dysfunction (Meta-analysis OR1.06 NS). After controlling for age and NIHSS, diabetes or hypertension did not additionally contribute to poor outcome. Prognostic and risk stratification scales are useful as predictors of outcome but do not imply efficacy of t-PA therapy or lack thereof.Disclosure: Dr. Yeo has nothing to disclose.

Low Incidence of Death and Renal Failure in United States Military Service Members Hospitalized with Exertional Heat Stroke: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
CONCLUSION: EHS is aggressively identified and treated in U.S. Military Treatment Facilities. Mortality and morbidity were strikingly low. PMID: 32074343 [PubMed - in process]

Response to the Letter by Tariq
We stated in our discussion section that “A previous study16 reported 35% mortality within 30 days of IV rt-PA treatment in dialysis dependent renal failure patients.” The mention of IV rt-PA in these patients is a mistake on our part. The 35% mortality within 30 days reported by Sozio et al was reported for all stroke subtypes including hemorrhagic strokes. The following study does not mention if IV rt-PA was administered or not in these patients.

Neurological Involvement in Primary Systemic Vasculitis
Conclusion Neurological involvement is a common complication of PSV (Table 1), and neurologists play an important role in the identification and diagnosis of PSV patients with otherwise unexplained neurological symptoms as their chief complaint. This article summarizes the neurological manifestations of PSV and hopes to improve neuroscientists' understanding of this broad range of diseases. TABLE 1 Table 1. Common CNS and PNS involvements of primary systemic vasculitis. Author Contributions SZ conceived the article and wrote the manuscript. DY and GT reviewed and edited the manuscript. All authors ...

Long-term effects of AST-120 on the progression and prognosis of pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease: a 5-year retrospective study
Abstract AST-120 has been used widely in Japan to slow the deterioration of renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) by decreasing uremic toxins. The heart and the kidney are closely related, with cardiorenal interaction being very important. This retrospective study examined whether AST-120 influences the prevalence of dialysis induction, mortality, and cardiac and stroke events in CKD patients. The study included 278 patients diagnosed with chronic renal failure (CKD stage: III–V) in 2006. Of these patients, 128 received AST-120 (6 g/day), while the remaining 150 patients did not. A log-ra...

A contemporary evaluation of carotid endarterectomy outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease in the United States.
Conclusions Patients with ESRD undergoing CEA had an increased risk of respiratory and septic complications, but not a higher risk of stroke compared to patients with normal renal function. The greatest risks of postoperative stroke, respiratory, and cardiac complications were found in patients with CKD. A diagnosis of ESRD and CKD were both found to significantly increase hospital mortality, length of stay and cost. Where clinicians typically consider ESRD patients the highest risk for CEA, further consideration should be given to patients with CKD not yet on dialysis as they had the higher risk of cardiac complications a...

Early and late outcomes of aortic surgery under hypothermic circulatory arrest in the elderly: a single center study.
CONCLUSIONS: Aortic surgery with circulatory arrest in the elderly demonstrated favorable early and late results when compared with younger individuals, with an acceptable operative risk even under emergency conditions, and should not be denied only because of the chronological age of the patients.

Endovascular repair of thoracic aortic pathologies: Postoperative nursing implications
Endovascular stent grafting is increasingly used to manage descending thoracic aortic pathologies. The procedure was introduced at the study hospital in 2001. We sought to examine the short-term clinical outcomes of patients who underwent this endovascular stent grafting, with the aim of using the result as baseline for development of an in-center clinical management protocol. We undertook a single-center, retrospective review of health care records of patients managed with thoracic stent grafts from 2001 to 2009. Patient characteristics, in-hospital data, and procedural data were obtained. SPSS was used to analyze the dat...

Demographic profile, clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting—retrospective analysis of 4,024 patients
Conclusion Compared to Western population, this cohort of patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting had higher incidence of diabetes mellitus and ischemic cardiomyopathy and low incidence of significant left main disease. Post-operative stroke rate was significantly lower compared to 1–2 % stroke rate reported in western population.

Does Surgical Ablation Energy Source Affect Long-Term Success of the Concomitant Cox Maze Procedure?
CONCLUSIONS: Concomitant CM procedures performed with cryothermal energy alone or combined with bipolar radiofrequency ablation are safe and exceedingly effective. The association of cryothermal energy alone with higher rates of sinus rhythm and stroke reduction should be investigated further. PMID: 28577848 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Total aortic arch replacement using the thoraflex hybrid prosthesis: early- and medium-term results from a Scandinavian center
CONCLUSIONS: The Thoraflex hybrid prosthesis can be used in the setting of total aortic arch replacement with good early- and medium-term results. Stroke and spinal cord complications remain an important source of early mortality.PMID:34463180 | DOI:10.1080/14017431.2021.1970800
