Influenza Vaccination and Risk of Ischemic Stroke: A Population-Based Case-Control Study
DISCUSSION: Results are compatible with a moderate protective effect of influenza vaccine on IS appearing early after vaccination. The finding that a reduced risk was also observed in pre-epidemic periods suggests that either the "protection" is not totally linked to prevention of influenza infection, or it may be partly explained by unmeasured confounding factors.PMID:36240087 | DOI:10.1212/WNL.0000000000201123

Prevalence of cardiovascular disease and risk factors, quality of life, and health behaviors of cancer survivors and their spouses: findings from MEPS
ConclusionsCompared to the general population, cancer survivors are at higher risk for CVD, report worse physical QOL, and, along with their spouses, more frequently receive certain preventive health care services.Implications for Cancer SurvivorsThere is a need for intervention to more fully engage cancer survivors and spouses in lifestyle behavior change associated with decreased CVD and related risk factors and improved QOL.

Neuroimmunology of Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis
Conclusion Recent advances in research on HTLV-1 provide better understanding of the molecular pathogenesis and mechanisms of HAM/TSP, and several clinical trials of novel therapies for patients with HAM/TSP have been initiated. However, long-term improvement of motor disability and quality of life still have not been achieved in HAM/TSP patients, and the clinical management remains challenging. Given that HAM/TSP is characterized by activated T-cells in both the periphery and CNS, studies in HAM/TSP will be highly informative for clarifying the pathogenesis of other neuroinflammatory disorders such as multiple sclerosis....

Home Based Primary Care for Patients with Sickle Cell Disease
Conclusion: Overall, home based primary care seems to be a promising alternative for pts with SCD. It had a significant impact on patient quality of care and may improve prescription adherence, but more data are needed to determine if it has an effect on healthcare utilization for pts with SCD.DisclosuresMoore: Ohio State University College of Medicine: Research Funding.

Pneumonia in the Noninstitutionalized Older Population.
CONCLUSION: Pneumonia plays an important role in the medical care of non-institutionalized older people. With the aid of the predictors identified in this study, primary care physicians can identify patients at risk, smokers can gain additional motivation to quit, treatment compliance can be increased, and patients may become more willing to be vaccinated as recommended in the current guidelines.

Needs of Internally Displaced Women and Children in Baghdad, Karbala, and Kirkuk, Iraq
Conclusions The vulnerability of this population is great, and the emotional trauma of multiple displacements, kidnapping and deaths from intentional violence is great. While some aid is reaching families, much more is needed. Though Iraq is a middle income country, reaching the IDPs in central Iraq will take much more in international assistance than is currently being received. Unfortunately, at this time of great need, assistance is being cut back throughout the region because of lack of funding.10 The local civil society organizations which have sprung up in many locations to assist IDPs, offer an avenue for targeting ...

Ezetimibe provides incremental reduction in risk for cardiovascular events and need for revascularisation following an acute coronary syndrome
Commentary on: Cannon CP, Blazing MA, Giugliano RP, et al., IMPROVE-IT Investigators. Ezetimibe Added to Statin Therapy after Acute Coronary Syndromes. N Engl J Med 2015;372:2387–97. Context Use of statin therapy to treat dyslipidemia in patients with established coronary artery disease is the standard of care worldwide. Given the negative results of a number of trials that tested the use of adjuvant lipid-lowering therapies against a statin background, there has been great scepticism about whether or not non-statin drugs provide incremental benefit.1–3 Ezetimibe inhibits the absorption of both dietary and bili...

New Windows into the Brain: Technological Advances in Detecting and Treating Neurological Disorders (P4.185)
CONCLUSIONS • Visualase is a new MRI-guided laser technology often used to treat hard-to-reach and otherwise inoperable brain and spine tumors. The procedure can be performed while a patient is awake and requires only one stitch to close the surgical site. The laser thermal ablation technique destroys lesions and also has proven to be effective for epilepsy patients. • The minimally invasive NICO BrainPath - detailed fiber-tracking combined with precise image-guidance - effectively treats subcortical and deep brain lesions as never before. The procedure is part of the Six Pillar Approach. The presenter is one of ...
