BACKGROUND Dual antiplatelet therapy is the main treatment for cardiovascular diseases (CADs). In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of aspirin combined with low-dose rivaroxaban in the secondary prevention of high-risk ischemic cardiovascular diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS In total, 168 patients who were diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction or multiple vessel disease 1 year after percutaneous coronary intervention were divided into 2 groups: the aspirin group (aspirin as acetylsalicylic acid: 100 mg once daily) and the aspirin + rivaroxaban group (aspirin: 100 mg once daily, rivaroxaban: 2.

Postoperative hemorrhages (POHs) after pituitary adenoma surgery can have devastating consequences for patients. Many patients take acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) for the primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular or stroke events. However, the impact of continued low-dose ASA use on the risk of postoperative hemorrhage and the frequency of thromboembolic events after discontinuing ASA in these patients remain poorly understood.

To assess the cost-effectiveness of low-dose aspirin compared to placebo for the prevention of recurrent preterm birth from a healthcare perspective. This was a cost-effectiveness analysis alongside a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. We included women with a singleton pregnancy and a previous spontaneous preterm birth <37 weeks of gestation of a singleton.

Article Synopsis
  • Anti-Phospholipid Antibodies (aPL) increase the risk of blood clots, and the effectiveness of antiplatelet drugs for preventing these clots in aPL carriers was evaluated through a systematic review of existing studies.
  • The review included 1056 participants and found that low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (LDA) significantly reduced both arterial and venous thrombotic events compared to control groups without increasing major bleeding risks.
  • However, the safety and benefit of LDA may vary depending on the specific aPL profile of the individuals, which remains uncertain.

Introduction: Accumulating data support the association between increased inflammation and bipolar disorder (BD), and preliminary data suggest that augmentation with low-dose aspirin (LDA) may protect against the onset and deterioration of BD via anti-inflammatory pathways. The A-bipolar randomised controlled trial (RCT) aims to investigate whether adding LDA to standard treatment improves day-to-day mood instability (MI) in BD.

Methods And Analysis: A two-arm, triple-blind, parallel-group, superiority RCT including 250 patients with newly diagnosed BD treated at the Copenhagen Affective Disorder Clinic, Denmark.
