Based on the data of cerebral stroke register carried out in the Khanty-Mansi autonomous okrug in 2004-2007, the information on the prevalence of main risk factors has been obtained. Arterial hypertension is the most significant risk factor for all forms of acute cerebral blood flow disturbance. Comparison of prevalence of main risk factors of stroke in residents of this region and people of other regions of the Russian Federation has revealed significant differences for all factors, with the exception of alcohol abuse. The structure of risk factor prevalence in the autonomous okrug differs from that in Russia. The statistically significant differences in the prevalence of all factors for ischemic stroke and non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhages studied were found in men and women living in the okrug as well as in the settled population and in watchmen. Highly significant direct correlations (p<0.0005) between the number of risk factors and the level of early 28 day mortality were revealed.

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a significant risk factor for glaucoma, causing structural and functional damage to the eye. Increased IOP compromises the metabolic and structural integrity of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons, leading to progressive degeneration and influencing the ocular immune response. This study investigated early cellular and molecular changes in the retina and optic nerve (ON) following ocular hypertension (OHT).

Introduction: Hospital-based violence intervention programs primarily target adults, raising questions about the effectiveness in preventing pediatric firearm deaths. We hypothesized that pediatric and adult firearm injury deaths are different enough to require unique intervention strategies.
Methods: Retrospective chart review was conducted of medical examiner and trauma center records of firearm-related deaths in the largest metropolitan county in Texas.

Background: A number of efforts have been made to tailor behavioral healthcare treatments to the variable needs of patients with low back pain (LBP). The most common approach involves the STarT Back Screening Tool (SBST) to triage the need for psychologically informed care, which explores concerns about pain and addresses unhelpful beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Such beliefs that pain always signifies injury or tissue damage and that exercise should be avoided have been implied as psychosocial mediators of chronic pain and can impede recovery.

Background: Abelacimab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to the inactive form of factor XI and blocks its activation. The safety of abelacimab as compared with a direct oral anticoagulant in patients with atrial fibrillation is unknown.
Methods: Patients with atrial fibrillation and a moderate-to-high risk of stroke were randomly assigned, in a 1:1:1 ratio, to receive subcutaneous injection of abelacimab (150 mg or 90 mg once monthly) administered in a blinded fashion or oral rivaroxaban (20 mg once daily) administered in an open-label fashion.
