Article Abstract
Introduction: In this review, the role of the rivaroxaban-plus-aspirin approach (dual pathway inhibition - DPI) in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) and to perform practical recommendations about its use was updated.
Areas Covered: The contents of this review were proposed in an expert meeting. To identify relevant articles, a systematic search of Medline/Embase was performed (to July 2019), using the key words 'rivaroxaban', 'vascular dose', 'COMPASS' and 'coronary artery disease' in the search strategy.
Expert Opinion: Despite current antithrombotic strategies (single/dual antiplatelet therapy) have decreased rates of recurrent cardiovascular events among patients with CCS, residual risk remains unacceptably high. The COMPASS trial showed in CCS patients that compared with aspirin 100 mg rivaroxaban 2.5 mg bid plus aspirin 100 mg reduced the risk of major cardiac events, cardiovascular hospitalization and mortality, without an increase of intracranial or fatal bleedings. Importantly, residual risk with the rivaroxaban plus aspirin approach was lower than with different dual antiplatelet therapy regimens. The rivaroxaban plus aspirin strategy is of particular benefit in patients with CCS and high-risk cardiovascular feature (i.e. ≥2 vascular beds, heart failure, renal insufficiency, peripheral artery disease, previous stroke or diabetes) and should be considered in these populations.

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, Central Japan International Medical Center, Minokamo, Japan.
Background: The impact of below-the-knee (BK) runoff after drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment in femoropopliteal (FP) lesions has not been well investigated.
Methods: This retrospective multicenter observational study enrolled 291 consecutive patients with lower extremity artery disease who underwent endovascular therapy with DCBs for FP lesions between January 2018 and December 2021. Patients were classified into four groups based on the BK runoff.
Analysis of clinical characteristics and predictive model for effective treatment of tinnitus in patients with transient compound sound therapy.

Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Tangdu Hospital, Air Force Medical University, Xi'an, China.
Purpose: This study explored the clinical characteristics of patients with tinnitus who responded to sound therapy and established a predictive model to evaluate the effectiveness of this therapy according to the clinical characteristics.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 991 subjective tinnitus patients who received compound sound therapy in the Department of Otolaryngology of the local hospital from November 2019 to January 2022.
Results: We found that tinnitus patients with different therapeutic effects had significant differences in the tinnitus side ( = 0.
Malaria burden and associated risk factors among malaria suspected patients attending health facilities in Kaffa zone, Southwest Ethiopia.
Malar J
December 2024
College of Natural Sciences, Department of Biology, Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia.
Background: Ethiopia has been progressing very well in controlling malaria in the past few years. However, shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic, an unpredictable malaria resurgence was observed in almost all malaria-endemic areas of the country, although the exact cause of which has not yet been identified. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate malaria burden and associated risk factors in one of the endemic zones of Ethiopia.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Cancer Center, West China Hospital, No. 37, Guoxue Alley, Chengdu, 610041, China.
Background: This study aimed to assess combined supraclavicular lymph node dissection (SLND) and radiotherapy (RT) versus standalone radiotherapy for efficacy in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients with ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis (ISLNM).
Methods: Totally 143 ISLNM patients treated between 2014 and 2021 in two medical institutions were examined retrospectively. Patients were divided into two groups to undergo combined SLND and radiotherapy (surgery + RT, n = 73) or radiotherapy alone (RT, n = 70).

Central Laboratory of The Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Lishui People's Hospital, Lishui City, Zhejiang, China.
Background And Objective: Mitochondria are important organelles functioning in metabolic processes, inflammatory response and neurological disorders. Migraines are chronic and paroxysmal neurological disorders characterized by recurrent episodes of severe headache and other neurological symptoms. We explored whether mitochondria may be genetically and/or causally associated with migraine.
