Aims: Blood pressure variability (BPV) was associated with the clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large-vessel occlusion (LVO) after endovascular treatment (EVT). This study aimed to investigate whether the use of antihypertensive drugs could affect this association in patients with AIS-LVO after EVT.
Methods: We retrospectively screened consecutive patients with AIS-LVO who had successful recanalization after EVT and calculated their systolic BPV (SBPV) during the first 24 h after EVT using eight statistical methodologies based on previously published literature. Poor outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 3-6 at 90 days. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess this association, and different prediction models were constructed to assess the effect of the use of antihypertensive drugs.
Results: A total of 214 patients were finally included, including 92 (43.0%) with good outcomes, and 136 (63.6%) who received antihypertensive drugs. SBPV indicators were significantly lower in patients with good outcomes versus those with poor outcomes. The logistic analysis showed that all SBPV indicators were consistently associated with poor outcomes (odds ratio, 1.031-1.282, all P＜0.05) in all populations, which was confirmed in patients not using antihypertensive drugs. However, no SBPV indicator was found to be associated with poor outcomes in patients using antihypertensive drugs. Receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the area under the curve (AUC) was larger in the model adjusting for antihypertensive drugs (AUC 0.774-0.783) compared with the one not adjusted for antihypertensive drugs (AUC 0.739-0.754).
Conclusion: In the anterior circulation of patients with AIS-LVO who had successful recanalization after EVT, the utilization of antihypertensive drugs may have some impact on the relationship between SBPV and clinical outcomes.

The production of fine particles by green technology like supercritical carbon dioxide requires the assessment of substantial solubility data at high pressures. This study represents the first determination of the solubility of methyldopa in carbon dioxide at pressures and temperatures ranging from 12 to 30 MPa and from 313.2 to 343.

Aims: To compare adherence to perindopril/amlodipine/atorvastatin combination administrated as a polypill (one pill) vs separate tablets.
Methods: Using the healthcare utilization database of Lombardy (Italy), 1 110 patients who received the perindopril/amlodipine/atorvastatin polypill during 2019-2021 were matched with 1 110 patients prescribed the same combination in separate tablets or as two antihypertensive drugs in a single tablet and the lipid-lowering drug tablet separately. Adherence to treatment was assessed over the year after the first perindopril/amlodipine/atorvastatin dispensation as the proportion of the follow-up days covered by prescription (PDC).

Hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives are a class of phenolic acid compounds, including sinapic acid, ferulic acid, and caffeic acid, which are widely found in plants. This experiment was conducted to study the effects of hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives (sinapic acid, ferulic acid, and caffeic acid) on the growth performance, muscle physical parameters, and intestinal morphology of tilapia. A total of 320 tilapia fingerlings (9.

Stimulant medications are the first-line treatment for ADHD but may not be a good fit for many patients due to side effects, inadequate treatment response, or family preference. Non-stimulant ADHD medications provide a useful alternative for patients that cannot tolerate stimulants, have an incomplete treatment response to stimulants, are at risk for stimulant diversion, or whose family prefers to avoid stimulants.
