Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate how the use of RAASi and statins before hospital admission affects mortality rates in adults with diabetes after being hospitalized for COVID-19.
  • Data were collected from 99 hospitals across the UK, France, and Spain during the pandemic's first wave, analyzing 3474 individuals for mortality correlations with different medication combinations.
  • The results showed no significant link between the use of RAASi or statins (individually or together) and mortality rates, suggesting that prescribing practices for these medications should remain unchanged for diabetic patients during COVID-19.

Purpose: The susceptibility vessel sign (SVS) has been described on gradient echo (GRE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in acute ischemic stroke patients by large vessel occlusion. The presence of SVS (SVS+) was associated with treatment outcome and stroke etiology with conflicting results. Based on multicenter data from the THRombectomie des Artères CErebrales (THRACE) study, we aimed to determine if the association between SVS and cardioembolic etiology (CE) was independent of GRE sequence parameters.

Long-term survivors after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) are at high risk for treatment-related adverse events, that may worsen physical capacity and may induce fatigue and disability. The aims of this prospective study were to evaluate exercise capacity in allotransplant survivors and its relationship with fatigue and disability. Patient-reported outcomes and exercise capacity were evaluated in 71 non-relapse patients 1 year after allo-HSCT, using validated questionnaires, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) with measure of peak oxygen uptake (peakVO) and deconditioning, pulmonary function testing, echocardiography and 6-min walk test.

Background And Purpose: The susceptibility vessel sign (SVS) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is related to thrombus location, composition, and size in acute stroke. No previous study has determined its inter-MRI scanner variability. We aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy in-vitro of four different MRI scanners for the characterization of histologic thrombus composition.

Background: Although the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) remains the main therapy for Brugada syndrome (BrS), it does not reduce life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia. Based on pathophysiologic mechanisms, hydroquinidine (HQ) has been suggested for effective prevention of arrhythmia.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to provide evidence-based data supporting HQ use to prevent life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia in high-risk patients with BrS.
