Background: Limited evidence exists on the efficacy and safety of statins in older ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack patients, particularly in frail individuals. Studies often exclude frail patients, limiting insights on optimal treatments for the entire older population. This review aims to evaluate the effect of statins for secondary prevention on quality of life and functioning in older patients following an ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, as these outcomes are aligned with the treatment goals of this patient population.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of performance feedback to hospitals on treatment times for EVT.
Article Synopsis
- Online news promotion through various channels like social media and newsletters can create feedback loops, drawing in more views.
- A study analyzing over 12 million views of almost 18,000 articles in Dutch newspapers indicates that while promotional strategies boost article views, these effects are often temporary.
- The exception to this trend is articles shared on social media, which not only get more clicks but also sustain viewer interest for longer periods.
PHARC, polyneuropathy, hearing loss, cerebellar ataxia, retinitis pigmentosa and cataracts, or PHARC is a very rare progressive neurodegenerative autosomal recessive disease caused by biallelic mutations in the ABHD12 (a/b-hydrolase domain containing 12) gene, which encodes a lyso-phosphatidylserine (lyso-PS) lipase. The Orpha number for PHARC is ORPHA171848. The clinical picture of PHARC syndrome is very heterogeneous with a wide range of age at onset for each symptom, making a clinical diagnosis very challenging.
