Patients May Be Taking Over the Counter Medications That Interaect Wtih Apixiban
Many patients take over-the-counter (OTC) products with potentially serious interactions with the direct-acting oral anticoagulant apixaban.
Vascular Neurology
Aspirin May Slow Growth of Multiple Intracranial Aneurysms
Aspirin is associated with a reduced rate of aneurysm growth for patients with multiple intracranial aneurysms.
Insufficient Cerebral Venous Drainage May Identify ICH Patients at Risk for Perihematomal Edema Expansion
Insufficient cerebral venous drainage in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage is strongly associated with large relative perihematomal edema volume at 24 hours after the acute event.
Deep Learning Algorithm Uses CT to Identify Intracranial Hemorrhages
A deep learning algorithm has accuracy comparable to that of radiologists for the diagnosis of acute intracranial hemorrhage on head computed tomography.
Study Compares Anticoagulants for Antiphospholipid Syndrome
In thrombotic antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), rivaroxaban is not noninferior to dose-adjusted vitamin K antagonists.
Age and Cerebral Hemodynamics Predict Cognitive Function Following CEA
Pre-operative cerebral hemodynamics and age are independent predictors of cognitive performance changes after carotid endarterectomy in patients with high-grade symptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis.
Diagnostic Delay Not Associated With Visual Symptoms in Giant Cell Arteritis
The study compared general and giant cell arteritis-specific characteristics in patients with and without visual symptoms, and examined the role of diagnostic delay in patients with giant cell arteritis experiencing current visual symptoms.
Lower Systolic BP Goal May Decrease Risk for Orthostatic Hypotension
In adults with recent stroke, a lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) goal may reduce the risk for orthostatic hypotension without any effect on orthostatic symptoms.
Link Between Giant Cell Arteritis and Race
Giant cell arteritis has been vastly studied in white populations; however, its significance among other racial and ethnic groups is not as well known.
MRI Shows Vaping Has Transient Impact on Vascular Function
In healthy nonsmokers, inhaling nicotine-free electronic cigarette aerosol has a transient impact on endothelial function.
