Our investigations have demonstrated on 10 volunteers receiving either 500 mg or 100 mg acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) that a low collagen concentration (1 microgram/ml) can best detect the aggregation defect caused by ASA. With the impedance aggregometry the mean inhibition reaches 82% and 52% with 500 mg and 100 mg ASA, respectively. Collagen at higher concentration (3 micrograms/ml) as well as ADP 10 and 25 mumol/l are less sensitive, less than 25% inhibition was recorded. These results suggest that a 1 microgram/ml concentration of collagen is adequate for the control of the ASA effect up to 6 days after intake of 100 mg. Furthermore, the von Willebrand factor (vWF) dependent platelet aggregation induced by 0.6 and 1.0 mg/ml ristocetin was clearly diminished after ASA. Therefore, a ristocetin screening test in whole blood for vWF disorder is possibly distorted when the test is performed within 6 days from ASA administration.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases represent the leading cause of mortality worldwide. This category includes cerebrovascular disease, ischemic heart disease, and peripheral vascular disease. Secondary prevention is effective for patients with a history of cardiovascular events, with antihypertensives, statins, and acetylsalicylic acid being the most prescribed drugs.

Several studies reported that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use could alleviate subclinical effects of short-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM). However, whether chronic NSAID use could mitigate the long-term effects of PM and its components on population mortality has been unknown. Based on a national representative survey of 47,086 adults (2007-2010) with follow-up information on the primary cause of death (until 2017), we investigated the long-term associations of PM and its major components, including black carbon (BC), ammonium (NH ), nitrate (NO ), organic matter (OM), and sulfate (SO ), with all-cause and cause-specific mortality using the Cox proportional hazards model.

Aims: We aimed to examine the recent trends in the use of acid suppression therapies, including proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) and potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), in patients undergoing dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) as aspirin-clopidogrel following coronary stent implantation in South Korea between 2018 and 2022.
Methods: This observational study analysed data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) on patients who underwent coronary stent implantation and received aspirin-clopidogrel DAPT. Patients who received acid suppression therapy for >60 days during DAPT were included in the analysis.

Transforming lignocellulosic biomass waste into value-added materials like porous carbons offers a sustainable and increasingly important solution for its efficient management within a circular economy framework. Although the heteroatom-doping process enhances oxygen- or nitrogen-containing functionalities on porous carbons, it often leads to losses in structural integrity and other key functionalities. This study presents a novel protocol to produce N-doped porous carbons that efficiently introduces nitrogen groups while improving surface area, microporosity definition and the concentration of oxygen-containing functionalities.

Background: It is unclear whether long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) has a potential carcinogenic effect on the colorectum.
Methods: We reviewed a consecutive series of neurosurgery outpatients who underwent two or more colonoscopies between January 2014 and April 2023. Patients in whom the timing of endoscopy was not in accordance with the guidelines and those without a history of previous endoscopy were excluded.
