Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the safety and outcomes of patients who continued dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with Clopidogrel and aspirin up to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) compared to those on aspirin alone.
- The research included 240 patients, revealing that those on DAPT experienced more infections and longer hospital stays post-surgery, but had similar rates of bleeding, redo surgeries, and in-hospital deaths as the control group.
- The findings suggest that it is safe for patients at high risk of myocardial infarction to remain on DAPT until surgery, especially when prophylactic platelet transfusions are administered.
Background: Thyroxine (T4) hormone is synthesized by the thyroid gland and then released into the systemic circulation where it binds to a number of proteins. Dysfunction in T4 transport mechanisms has been demonstrated in multiple central nervous system (CNS) diseases including Alzheimer's disease. In the presence of different compounds that inhibit potential T4 transport mechanisms, this study investigated the transfer of T4 from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into Choroid Plexus (CP) and other brain tissues.
