Background: Cancer-associated thromboembolism has been thoroughly investigated in previous studies, and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) were established for the treatment and prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, the risks of cancer-associated arterial thromboembolism (ATE) and the efficacy of DOACs remain unclear.
Objectives: To evaluate the risk factors and the clinical activity of edoxaban (EDO) for the prevention of ATE in patients with advanced lung cancer.
Background: ALZ-801/valiltramiprosate, an oral small molecule inhibitor of amyloid oligomer formation, is being evaluated in a Phase 3 trial in APOE4/4 Early AD subjects (APOLLOE4). Topline results are expected in 3Q 2024. APOE4 is a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) with a gene-dose effect.

Warfarin is a commonly employed anticoagulant drug aimed at rapidly reaching the optimal international normalized ratio (INR), potentially reducing the hospitalization time in clinical settings. However, limited research has been conducted on the influencing factors and the safety implications of promptly reaching the target INR range in patients with valvular heart disease who have undergone valve replacement or repair. The present study aimed to assess the factors related to the safety considerations of rapidly reaching the target INR range in patients treated with warfarin.

Background: To identify cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in Asian elderly aged 75 years and older and subsequently develop and validate a sex-specific five-year CV risk assessment tool for this population.
Methods: This study included 12,174 patients aged ≥ 75 years without a prior history of cardiovascular disease at a single hospital in Taiwan. Electronic health records were linked to the National Health Insurance Research Database and the National Death Registry to ensure comprehensive health information.
