Regional ischaemic immune myopathy (RIIM) is a subtype of dermatomyopathy which has distinct histopathology features of regional muscle fibre necrosis and regeneration. This case report aims to provide an in-depth exploration of RIIM, emphasising its clinical features and the crucial role of muscle biopsy as a diagnostic investigation, as well as the potential role of immunomodulatory therapies.

Efficacy and safety of tirofiban in acute ischemic stroke patients with ideal reperfusion: A cohort study of LAA and CE subgroups.
Eur J Neurol
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Xinqiao Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital, Army Medical University (Third Military Medical University), Chongqing, China.
Background And Objectives: Despite achieving ideal reperfusion (eTICI = 3) through endovascular treatment (EVT), some acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients still experience poor outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirofiban in AIS patients with ideal reperfusion, focusing on its effects in large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) and cardioembolic (CE) stroke.
Methods: A total of 474 AIS patients from the RESCUE-BT database were included.
Global burden of heart failure and its underlying causes in 204 countries and territories, 1990-2021.
Eur Heart J Qual Care Clin Outcomes
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, the Heart Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, 32500, China.
Background: Heart failure (HF) presents a significant global health challenge due to its rising prevalence and impact on disability.
Aims: This study aims to comprehensively analyze the global burden of HF and its underlying causes.
Methods: Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, we analyzed the prevalence and Years Lived with Disability (YLD) of HF, examining its implications across diverse demographics and geographic regions.
Completion of registration of risk factor variables during telephone vs on-site follow-up after myocardial infarction: a nationwide observational study in 101 199 patients from contemporary clinical practice in Sweden.
BMJ Open
January 2025
Department of Clinical Sciences, Lund University, Malmö, Sweden.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the completeness of registration of secondary preventive variables comparing on-site visits with telephone consultations during follow-up after myocardial infarction.
Design: This was an observational study based on the Swedish quality registry SWEDEHEART.
Setting And Outcome Measures: We analysed the proportion of missing values for major secondary preventive target data registered at the 2-month and 1-year follow-up visits, during 2006-2022 (n=101 199).
Neurosteroid replacement therapy using tiagabine and zuranolone restores cerebellar neurodevelopment and reduces hyperactive behaviour following preterm birth.
J Dev Orig Health Dis

Preterm birth exposes the neonate to hypoxic-ischaemic and excitotoxic insults that impair neurodevelopment and are magnified by the premature loss of placentally supplied, inhibitory neurosteroids. The cerebellum is a neuronally dense brain region, which undergoes critical periods of development during late gestation, when preterm births frequently occur. We propose that neurosteroid replacement therapy using tiagabine and zuranolone will protect the cerebellum against preterm-associated insults.

Department of Cardiovascular Diseases, University Hospitals Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.
Background: The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) remains the cornerstone in the prevention of sudden cardiac death. Cost-effectiveness depends on survival after implantation. In Belgium there are unexplained major differences in 3-year mortality after ICD implantation.
