Background: Managing older patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is challenging due to their underrepresentation in clinical trials, comorbidities, and increased complication risk.
Objectives: To evaluate risk assessment and management outcomes in older patients with PE focusing on home and reperfusion treatment.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients aged 70 years or older diagnosed with acute PE at an academic medical center (2015-2022).
Article Synopsis
- Antithrombotic therapy (ATT) is commonly used in patients with terminal cancer, despite unclear benefits and risks near the end of life.
- A study analyzed adherence to ATT and the risks of bleeding, venous thromboembolism (VTE), and arterial thromboembolism (ATE) in terminally ill cancer patients using data from Denmark.
- Results showed that most patients continued ATT until death, with a notable decrease in VTE risk but an increase in the risks of ATE and major bleeding.
Background: Studies exploring the possible protective effect of coffee and tea consumption on dementia have shown inconsistent results so far. We aimed to investigate whether consumption of tea and different types of coffee at midlife are associated with dementia later in life and whether sex or ApoE4 influence such association.
Methods: We included 7381 participants from the Norwegian HUNT Study.
Elevated cardiac troponin, a biomarker of myocardial injury, has been found in individuals with brain damage and lower cognitive function. We conducted a systematic review to examine the association of troponin with cognitive function, incidence of dementia and dementia-related outcomes. PubMed, Web of Science and EMBASE were searched from inception to August 2022.
