Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Initiatives to decrease the burden of stroke have largely focused on prevention and acute care strategies. Despite considerable resources and attention, the focus on prevention and acute care has not been successful in changing the clinical trajectory for the majority of stroke patients. While efforts to prevent strokes will continue to have an impact, the total burden of stroke will increase due to the aging population and decreased mortality rates. There is strong evidence for the effectiveness of rehabilitation in better managing stroke and its related disabilities. The time has come to shift the attention in stroke care and research from prevention and cure to a greater focus and investment in the rehabilitation and quality of life of stroke survivors. The rebalancing of stroke care and research initiatives requires a reinvestment in rehabilitation and community reintegration of stroke survivors.

Hemostatic resuscitation is a mainstay in the management of trauma patients. Factors such as blood loss and tissue injury contribute to coagulation and hemodynamic status imbalances. Hemorrhage remains a leading cause of death in trauma patients, despite advances in strategies such as damage control surgery, massive transfusion protocol, and intensive care.

Objectives: Door-to-needle time (DTN) is standard for measuring the efficiency of thrombolytic administration in acute ischemic stroke, with guidelines recommending DTN <60 minutes. DTN can be divided into door-to-imaging time (DIT) and imaging-to-needle time (ITN), separated by arrival at the CT scanner. We hypothesize that ITN is more accurate for comparing the mode of evaluation for stroke patients treated with thrombolytics.

Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200240, China.
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a neglected global health issue and when left untreated could lead to cognitive impairment (CI), one of the most burdensome outcomes of OSA. Enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS), an imaging feature as well as a subtype of cerebral small vessel disease and integral part of CSVD, are associated with cognitive function, but the relationship between EPVS and CI is not well understood and by extension the correlation between OSA and EPVS, how CI develops under the joint impact of OSA and EPVS remains unclear. It is the goal of This study to explore the associations among OSA, EPVS, and CI.

Background: Individual kidney tubule biomarkers are associated with risks for chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and mortality in persons with diabetes. Integrating multiple kidney biomarkers using a latent variable method of exploratory factor analysis could define distinct dimensions of kidney health, and their associations with adverse outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a factor analysis of 17 candidate urine and plasma biomarkers in 1,256 participants with diabetes and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60ml/min/1.
