To explore the association between thromboxane A receptor (TXAR) gene polymorphisms and the risk of cerebral infarction. We screened the relevant publications through the search engines in PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (the latest search update was performed on July 1, 2020). Gene-disease associations were measured using the estimation of OR (95 % CI) based on five genetic inheritance models. Totally three studies were included in this meta-analysis. TXAR rs768963 polymorphism in homozygote comparison (OR = 1.86, 95 % CI: 1.35-2.56), heterozygote comparison (OR = 1.81, 95 % CI: 1.37-2.39), and dominant model (OR = 1.82, 95 % CI: 1.39-2.37) emerged as risk factors for cerebral infarction. Besides, an increased cerebral infarction risk was observed in the heterozygote comparison (OR = 1.39, 95 % CI: 1.03-1.88) for TXAR rs2271875 polymorphism. None of the five models showed any association between TXAR rs4523 polymorphism and cerebral infarction risk. In conclusion, this is the first meta-analysis verifying that TXAR rs768963 polymorphism and TXAR rs2271875 polymorphism may be associated with the risk of cerebral infarction.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a valuable treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD), but postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication. Understanding the risk factors for POD is crucial for optimizing patient selection and developing preventative measures. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to identify predictors of POD in PD patients undergoing DBS surgery.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have exerted cardioprotective effects in clinical trials, but underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. As mitigating sympathetic overactivity is of major clinical concern in the mechanisms of heart failure treatments, we examined the effects of modulation of glucose handling on baroreflex-mediated sympathetic nerve activity and arterial pressure regulations in rats with chronic myocardial infarction (n = 9). Repeated 11-min step input sequences were used for an open-loop analysis of the carotid sinus baroreflex.

Introduction: Landmark thrombectomy trials demonstrated improved functional outcomes after endovascular therapy (EVT) for large core strokes (LCSs). This study explored the impact of recanalization attempts and procedure time (PT) on outcomes in LCS patients.
Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with LCSs who underwent EVT from a prospective multicentre cohort.

Background: Hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign (HMCAS) on a non-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scan is considered an important radiological marker in detecting acute arterial thrombotic occlusion, and it is one of the earliest signs of ischemic cerebrovascular accident (CVA). This finding has been observed within 90 min of symptom onset. Modern approaches to patients with cerebral infarction emphasize early diagnosis and management.
