Aim: To investigate the effect of hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells (HFMSCs) in ischemic stroke. Materials & methods: Rat transient ischemic stroke model was established to verify the effect of HFMSC transplantation. Behavioral experiment and TTC staining were used to estimate neurological outcome after HFMSC therapy.

Introduction: Abiraterone and enzalutamide are both approved in the United States for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The objective of this study was to compare the real-world effectiveness and cardiovascular safety of these agents, drawing from a cohort of older adult patients diagnosed with mCRPC.
Materials And Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare database was used to conduct an observational study comparing three-year overall survival and one-year risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) between initiators of abiraterone or enzalutamide between September 2012 and June 2017.

Purpose: To evaluate the risk of bleeding associated with the simultaneous administration of antidepressants (ADs) and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).
Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases were searched for papers that focused on the concomitant administration of ADs and DOACs and presented data on the bleeding outcomes. The comparator group of interest consisted of subjects who received only DOACs.

Background And Purpose: Prolonged length of stay (LOS) following a stroke is associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes. Factors predicting LOS in medium vessel occlusion (MeVO), impacting up to 40% of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) cases, remain underexplored. This study aims to investigate the predictors of LOS in AIS-MeVO.

Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, poses challenges in predicting thromboembolic risk. While the CHADS-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75 years (doubled), type 2 diabetes mellitus, previous stroke, transient ischemic attack, or thromboembolism (doubled), vascular disease, age 65-74 years, and sex category) score remains essential, its limitations include failure to identify left atrial (LA) thrombus in some patients. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) provides superior detection of LA thrombi and thrombogenic factors compared to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), improving risk stratification, especially in intermediate-risk groups.
