Introduction: Post-stroke spasticity (PSS) occurs in ~25-43% of patients between 2 weeks and 3 months following a stroke. This retrospective claims study examined the occurrence of spasticity, treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization, and healthcare costs among patients who experienced a stroke over a 2-year period.
Methods: Analyses were conducted using healthcare claims from the IQVIA PharMetrics Plus database of commercially/self-insured members from 2015 to 2021.
Background: Patients who experienced acute kidney injury (AKI) may benefit from dedicated care following hospital discharge. Most of these patients will be followed by primary care providers. There is a lack of data on current practices and comfort for these care providers when offering post-AKI care.

- * Researchers created retinal sheets (RSs) using induced pluripotent stem cells, which contained precursors capable of developing into mature cone cells, mimicking the development of the human retina.
- * In a test on pigs with retinal degeneration, these grafted RSs integrated into the retina and demonstrated some function, indicating potential for future therapeutic applications despite ongoing challenges.
Hypertension and its associated complications, such as cardiac remodeling and dysfunction, continue to impose a significant burden on global healthcare. Nutritional interventions have been recognized as playing a crucial role in addressing this devastating condition termed a 'silent killer'. Plant-based proteins could potentially be utilized as a non-pharmacological strategy to combat hypertension and its related risk factors.
