Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzed a large group of patients with ischemic stroke to evaluate how men and women differ in receiving recommended medications (statins, antihypertensives, anticoagulants) after discharge and their adherence to these treatments over one year.
- * Results showed that women were prescribed fewer medications and were more likely to be non-adherent compared to men, indicating a need for improved attention to how sex influences stroke treatment and adherence.
Background: Contemporary data describing the national trends on vascular risk factor control among stroke survivors are limited.
Methods And Results: This is a cross-sectional analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cycles 2009 to 2010 to 2017 to March 2020. Adults (≥18 years of age) with a self-reported diagnosis of stroke were identified.
Protein function is controlled by the cellular proteostasis network. Proteostasis is energetically costly and those costs must be balanced with the energy needs of other physiological functions. Hypertonic stress causes widespread protein damage in C.

Methods: A web-based survey was developed that requested information regarding hospital type, whether the hospital practices pediatric nuclear medicine, and the hospital's method for determining the administered activity for children. The survey invitation was emailed to a sample of general hospitals with more than 300 beds, excluding dedicated pediatric, veterans, psychiatric, and rehabilitation hospitals.
Unlabelled: The goal of this investigation was to assess the impact of the publication of the 2010 North American guidelines on the practice of nuclear medicine in children at 13 dedicated pediatric institutions within the United States and Canada by comparing results of similar surveys from 2007 and 2013.
Methods: In 2013, a follow-up survey was performed of the original 13 dedicated pediatric institutions initially surveyed in 2007. Both surveys inquired about the administered activities for 16 nuclear medicine procedures commonly performed on children.
