Objectives. To analyze results of the work of a regional stroke center in Aktobe city opened in Kazakhstan according to a state program of Health Care development for 2011-2015 years "Healthy Kazakhstan". Material and methods. In total 1177 stroke patients were hospitalized, including 721 patients (61.2%) with ischemic stroke, 268 (22.8%) patients with hemorrhagic stroke, 108 (9.2%) with transitory disturbances of cerebral blood circulation, 26 (2.2%) with subarachnoid hemorrhage and 54 (4.6%) with unspecified stroke. Results. The use of thrombolytic therapy (TLT), a highly specialized method of treatment of ischemic stroke, was analyzed. Other aspects of the work, including the measures of early and continued rehabilitation, are presented. During the first day after TLT, a significant reduction in neurological disorders was observed in 22 patients (84.6%). The partial recovery was seen in 3 patients (11.5%). One patient (3.8%) had hemorrhagic transformation. Conclusions. The use of TLT in the acute stage of ischemic stroke allows to achieve the complete recovery of neurological functions so patients can return to work and full life.

Esketamine at a Clinical Dose Attenuates Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury by Inhibiting AKT Signaling Pathway to Facilitate Microglia M2 Polarization and Autophagy.
Drug Des Devel Ther
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the protective effect of a clinical dose esketamine on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and to reveal the potential mechanisms associated with microglial polarization and autophagy.
Methods: Experimental cerebral ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in adult rats and simulated by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in BV-2 microglial cells. Neurological and sensorimotor function, cerebral infarct volume, histopathological changes, mitochondrial morphological changes, and apoptosis of ischemic brain tissues were assessed in the presence or absence of esketamine and the autophagy inducer rapamycin.
Outcomes of Combined Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion and Transcatheter Mitral Edge-to-Edge Repair: The WATCH-TEER Study.
JACC Adv
February 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Background: Up to 50% of patients undergoing mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (MTEER) have an indication for left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). However, prospective evaluation of this strategy is lacking.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to prospectively evaluate the outcomes of combined LAAO and MTEER.
Development and Validation of a Nomogram for Predicting Long-Term Net Adverse Clinical Events in High Bleeding Risk Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
Rev Cardiovasc Med
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, 610041 Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Background: Patients with a high risk of bleeding undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI-HBR) were provided consensus-based criteria by the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR). However, the prognostic predictors in this group of patients have yet to be fully explored. Thus, an effective prognostic prediction model for PCI-HBR patients is required.

Pulmonary and Critical Care, Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami, USA.
Cancer and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) independently increase thrombotic risk, and their coexistence can create a particularly hazardous prothrombotic state. This case report aims to highlight the complex challenges in managing concurrent thrombotic and hemorrhagic events in patients with a history of cancer and APS. The combination of these conditions presents a rare and difficult clinical scenario, requiring careful consideration in anticoagulation management.

Internal Medicine, Good Samaritan Hospital, Cincinnati, USA.
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has revolutionized the management of proximal large vessel occlusions (LVOs) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), improving long-term outcomes compared to standard treatments. However, despite its success in high-income countries, the widespread implementation of MT in Africa remains limited. With Africa experiencing one of the highest stroke burdens globally, this study examines the barriers impeding the adoption of MT in the region.
