Background: Diabetes ranks among the most common chronic conditions in childhood and adolescence. It is unique among chronic conditions, in that clinical outcomes are intimately tied to how the child or adolescent living with diabetes and their parents or carers react to and implement good clinical practice guidance. It is widely recognized that the individual's perspective about the impact of trying to manage the disease together with the burden of self-management should be addressed to achieve optimal health outcomes.

Objectives: Pregnancy and the postpartum period are associated with an increased risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. The incidence of missed or delayed diagnosis of pregnancy-associated stroke (PAS) in the emergency setting is unknown.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of women hospitalized for labor and delivery identified through administrative claims data from all nonfederal EDs and hospitals in 11 states (New York 2006-2017, Florida 2005-2019, 3 states from 2016-2020, 6 states from 2016-2019).

Multiple randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) significantly reduces the risk of subsequent stroke as compared to aspirin monotherapy after high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor ischemic stroke. We sought to evaluate the uptake of DAPT after high-risk TIA at a single center. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of consecutive TIA patients admitted via the Emergency Department (ED) of Bern University Hospital (1/1/2018-12/31/2019).

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the link between traditional vascular risk factors and cervical artery dissection, particularly focusing on older patients.
  • Using data from Medicare beneficiaries, the research identifies several risk factors, including hypertension, alcohol use, and coronary artery disease, that are associated with an increased likelihood of developing cervical artery dissection.
  • The findings suggest that older individuals with certain vascular conditions are at a higher risk, indicating the need for further research on these associations.
