Small, randomized trials of patients with cervical artery dissection showed conflicting results regarding optimal stroke prevention strategies. We aimed to compare outcomes in treated antiplatelets versus anticoagulation.
Surgical myectomy has been the standard treatment for patients with drug-refractory obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The clinical and echocardiographic predictors of long-term survival freedom from cardiovascular morbidity after have unclear.We studied a consecutive cohort 338 adult (age at operation 47+/-14 [range 18 to 77] years, 60% male) who underwent our institution. Preoperative resting left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient was 66+/-32 mm Hg (range 5 158 Hg). Early...
This study investigated the expectations and experiences of a sample new patients visiting an Australian regional university Student Dental Clinic with regard to anxiety provoking alleviating stimuli in clinical environment. Differences levels were examined by age, gender type procedure undergone. The number dental who participated was 102 (56 males, 43 females). used pre-treatment/post-treatment design assess effect on patients. Modified Anxiety Scale (MDAS) measure at pre-treatment....
Introduction: Cervical artery dissection (CAD) accounts for nearly 2% of all ischemic strokes but up to 25% in young adults. Dissection is likely precipitated by the interplay between risk factors (migraine, low body mass index), environmental triggers (cervical trauma or infection), and genetic connective tissue abnormalities (e.g. Ehlers-Danlos Marfan’s disease). In this study, we delineate prevalence a multicenter cohort cervical dissection. Methods: This post-hoc analysis Antithrombotic...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic remains a source of considerable morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Therapeutic options to reduce symptoms, inflammatory response, or progression are limited. This randomized open-label trial enrolled 100 ambulatory patients with symptomatic COVID-19 in Toronto, Canada. Results indicate that icosapent ethyl (8 g daily for 3 days followed by 4 11 days) significantly reduced high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) improved...
: Carcinoid heart disease is characterized by pulmonic and/or tricuspid valvular dysfunction and the most common cardiac manifestation of carcinoid syndrome. We present an unusual a rare entity metastasis to heart, without disease. This case in interventricular septum illustrates utility MRI delineating extent tissue characteristics tumour, its complementary role nuclear scan.
Background Although acetylsalicylic acid is the most commonly used antithrombotic agent for secondary prevention of cardiovascular events, residual atherothrombotic risk has prompted a guideline recommendation addition dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) or pathway inhibition (DPI) in high vascular patients. Accordingly, CONNECT CVD quality enhancement initiative provides contemporary "snapshot" clinical features and management atherosclerotic disease (ASCVD) patients Canada. Methods Canadian...
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether pre-injury antiplatelet agent use is associated with progression of hemorrhagic injury (PHI) or mortality after severe TBI. BACKGROUND: The effects agents on coagulation pathways in traumatic brain are not well understood, but available data suggest that their increases the risk an unfavorable outcome. DESIGN/METHODS: Patients TBI who underwent intracranial pressure and oxygen monitoring between 1/2006 12/2009 were retrospectively identified from Brain Oxygen...
Purpose: We have reported that VC is a very sensitive modality in identifying colonic polyps when 2 expert radiologists interpret the studies (sensitivity 88.7%, Pickhardt et al, NEJM 2003; 349). questioned whether could be trained utilizing standard 1 week course to maintain similar degree of accuracy non-protocol setting. Methods: 9 staff underwent an intensive (100 interpretations prior independant reading). These then prospectively interpreted 1647 VC's (7/2003-12/2005) performed...
