Primary stroke mechanism identification helps predict recurrent stroke risk

02 May 2025 by

In medically treated symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS) patients, considering artery-to-artery embolism (AAE) rather than hypoperfusion as the stroke mechanism for cortical borderzone (CBZ) infarcts could better predict early recurrent stroke in the same territory (SIT), a study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has found.

Abnormal ambient temperatures and CVD: What is the link?

30 Apr 2025 by

Nonoptimal ambient temperatures affect plasma levels of 949 proteins in Chinese adults, with >80 percent of these proteins linked to increased systolic blood pressure and a higher risk of ischaemic heart disease, a study conducted jointly by researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), the University of Oxford, Fudan University and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine has shown.

VTE prevention and treatment: Role of fondaparinux in hospitalized patients

29 Apr 2025 by

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), comprising deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is highly prevalent among hospitalized patients, potentially fatal, yet preventable. In an interview with MIMS Doctor, Dr Andy Sing-Ong Tang, Clinical Haematologist of the Sarawak General Hospital, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia, discussed the role of fondaparinux in prevention and treatment of VTE among hospitalized patients, with a particular focus on obese and Muslim patients.
