Abstract: To explore the relationship between risk factors of cognitive dysfunction and blood pressure variability after acute ischemic stroke in northwest Shanghai to establish a model for early identification of high-risk groups of cognitive dysfunction and formulation of more targeted prevention and treatment measures. Spearman test was used to evaluate the correlation between blood pressure variability and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score in patients with acute ischemic stroke and the partial regression coefficient model was constructed based on the above independent risk factors, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was described to analyze the relevant independent risk factors. ROC curve analysis results showed that the clinical prediction model was significantly more effective than a single factor in predicting the risk of cognitive impairment after acute ischemic stroke in northwest Shanghai( < 0.05). Cognitive dysfunction after acute ischemic stroke was closely related to high Homocysteine (Hcy) levels, high standard deviation of systolic blood pressure, previous infarction history and infarction of cognitive function area in northwest Shanghai. The prediction model based on the above factors showed satisfactory value in predicting of cognitive dysfunction risk after acute ischemic stroke and there was also the correlation between cognitive function and blood pressure variability.

Importance: Facial synkinesis refers to pathologic cocontraction and baseline hypertonicity of muscles innervated by the facial nerve, commonly attributed to the aberrant regeneration of nerve fibers following injury. The pathomechanism and optimal treatment of facial synkinesis remain unclear. The goal of this review is to highlight current understanding of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, assessment, and treatment of facial synkinesis.

Background: Loss to follow-up to HIV care following delivery puts birthing parents with HIV at higher risk of loss of viral suppression, disease progression, and HIV partner transmission. This study assessed factors associated with retention in postpartum HIV care.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study at a single academic medical center and included patients followed from January 2014 to December 2022.

Background: Data on tuberculosis (TB) incidence and risk factors among children living with HIV (CLHIV) in the universal ART era are limited.

Methods: We analysed routinely-collected data on TB diagnoses for CLHIV age ≤5 years, born 2018-2022, in the Westen Cape, South Africa. We examined factors associated with TB diagnosis, with death and loss to follow-up as competing events.
