Elevated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) levels should be expected in about half of all patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Since those patients are at risk of increased morbidity and mortality, often attributable to cardiac causes, an adequate work-up of the underlying etiology is required. This can only be achieved by a team of cardiologists and neurologists. Since underlying causes of hs-cTn elevation in AIS patients are diverse, often atypical or silent in their clinical presentation and some, such as an accompanying myocardial infarction, can be acutely life-threatening, the work-up should follow a standardized clinical algorithm. The vast majority of hs-cTn elevations are caused by non-ischemic myocardial injury associated with AIS. This work presents a practice-oriented approach to differential diagnosis with the update of the Mannheim clinical algorithm for acute ischemic stroke and troponin elevation.

Background: Randomized clinical trials have shown that semaglutide is associated with a clinically relevant reduction in body weight and a lower risk of adverse cardiovascular events in those who are overweight or obese with a history of cardiovascular disease but no diabetes. The objective of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of semaglutide for this indication.
Methods: A decision analytic Markov model was used to compare the lifetime benefits and costs of semaglutide 2.

Udar mózgu jest wyniszczającą chorobą o podłożu sercowo-naczyniowym o wysokiej śmiertelności, prowadzącą do znacznego obniżenia jakości oraz długości życia. Z uwagi na złożoność patofizjologicznych procesów zachodzących po udarze mózgu u ludzi, kluczowe znaczenie z punktu widzenia rozwoju metod leczenia pacjentów mają badania podstawowe z użyciem zwierzęcych modeli udaru mózgu, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem modeli z zastosowaniem gryzoni. Modele takie jak przejściowa lub trwała okluzja tętnicy środkowej mózgu (MCAo) i modele fotouczuleniowe są najczęściej stosowane w symulacji udaru niedokrwiennego i zostały szczegółowo opisane w niniejszej pracy.

SPT-07A, a D-borneol, is currently being developed in China for the treatment of ischemic stroke. We aimed to create a whole-body physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to predict the pharmacokinetics of SPT-07A in rats, dogs, and humans. The in vitro metabolism of SPT-07A was studied using hepatic, renal, and intestinal microsomes.

Ischemic stroke (IS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability worldwide, with limited therapeutic options available. Despite the success of early interventions, such as tissue-type plasminogen activator administration and mechanical thrombectomy, many patients continue to experience persistent neurological deficits. The pathophysiology of IS is multifaceted, encompassing excitotoxicity, oxidative and nitrosative stress, inflammation, and blood-brain barrier disruption, all of which contribute to neural cell death, further complicating the treatment of IS.

Background: Radix Paeoniae Rubra (RPR), an edible and medicinal Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is extensively employed in therapeutic interventions of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, the curative effect of RPR on ischemic stroke remains ambiguous. This work integrated network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental validation to explore the mechanisms of RPR in treating ischemic stroke.
