Recent guidelines for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) indicate administration of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in patients receiving direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) is not firmly established and may be harmful unless certain potential parameters are met. This systematic review and meta-analysis explores safety outcomes and other clinical parameters from the growing number of publications describing patients taking a DOAC who experience an AIS that is treated acutely with IVT alone. Embase, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, and PubMed were searched up to January 9, 2024 for studies including adult patients taking a DOAC who experienced an AIS treated with IVT and did not undergo endovascular therapy (EVT), regardless of the use of an anticoagulation reversal agent.

Background: Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a significant clinical burden for premenopausal individuals treated with anticoagulation for acute venous thromboembolism (VTE). Despite its prevalence, HMB management remains poorly studied, with wide variation in clinical practice.
Objectives: The current study aimed to explore current UK practices in managing HMB in anticoagulated individuals and identify areas requiring clinical research to address disparities.

Introduction: The pediatric direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC) trials provide an opportunity to evaluate and characterize challenges in their design and execution to inform future antithrombotic trials.
Objective: To perform a systematic review of pediatric DOAC trials for the treatment of venous thromboembolism to critically appraise their methodology and understand the feasibility and challenges.
Methods: Systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between infarct pattern, inferred stroke mechanism and risk of recurrence in patients with ischaemic stroke. The question is clinically relevant to optimise secondary stroke prevention investigations and treatment.
Design: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the dabigatran treatment of acute stroke II (DATAS II) trial (ClinicalTrials.

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening condition with increasing global incidence, primarily caused by , especially methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA). Biofilm formation by is a critical factor in pathogenesis, contributing to antimicrobial resistance and complicating the treatment of infections involving prosthetic valves and cardiovascular devices. Biofilms provide a protective matrix for MRSA, shielding it from antibiotics and host immune defenses, leading to persistent infections and increased complications, particularly in cases involving prosthetic materials.
