Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) proved that short-term (21-90 days) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) reduces the risk of early ischemic recurrences after a noncardioembolic minor stroke or high-risk transient attack (TIA) without substantially increasing hemorrhagic risk. We aimed at understanding whether and how real-world use DAPT differs from RCTs.READAPT (Real-Life Study on Short-Term Dual Antiplatelet Treatment in Patients With Ischemic Stroke TIA) is prospective cohort study...
Sex may impact clinical outcomes in patients with stroke treated dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). We aimed to investigate the sex differences short-term of DAPT within a real-world population noncardioembolic mild-to-moderate ischemic or high-risk transient attack. performed propensity score-matched analysis from prospective multicentric cohort study (READAPT [Real-Life Study on Short-Term Dual Antiplatelet Treatment Patients With Ischemic Stroke Transient Attack]) by including (National...
The presence of parkinsonism features in primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a subject ongoing research. These are usually more pronounced the advanced stages disease, particularly non-fluent/agrammatic subtype, and exceptionally rare logopenic variant (lvPPA). Here we report case 63-year-old man presenting as language impairment, predominantly naming word-finding difficulties, emerged alongside left-sided internal tremor. Neurological examination revealed bilateral, left-side predominant...
This report presents a challenging case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), rare and rapidly progressing neurological disorder. The patient exhibited diverse progressive neuro-psychiatric symptoms, including memory impairment, behavioral changes, hallucinations associated with cacosmia. diagnosis CJD is complicated due to its variable clinical presentation, limited awareness, the need for tissue pathology confirmation. Diagnostic tests, particularly brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...
