ABSTRACT D‐dimer defines degradation products derived from the proteolysis mediated by plasmin on cross‐linked fibrin. The evidence‐based use of D‐dimer in some conditions has been consolidated. Currently, however, there is an entrenched prescription of D‐dimer testing to screen otherwise healthy subjects that may induce prescribing physicians to start

Arterial stiffness and depressive symptoms independently and jointly increased the risk of new‐onset Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in older Chinese adults. Their small bidirectional mediation effects suggest interconnected vascular and psychological pathways contributing to COPD development.

Heads Down for Acute Stroke: Supine Position for Acute Large Vessel Occlusion in Ischemic Stroke
ABSTRACT This case demonstrates that for large vessel occlusion strokes in the acute stage before surgical, pharmacologic, or radiologic intervention, supine positioning may be assumed because of the hemodynamic changes that can prevent and alleviate stroke, supporting the results of the ZerO Degree head positioning In Acute ischemiC stroke (ZODIAC ...

In symptomatic, atherosclerotic middle cerebral artery stenosis: Relative WSS (rWSS) increased progressively along upstream plaque segment but highly varied downstream. Relative WSS (rWSS) was lower on the inner than outer wall of the MCA‐M1 vessel curve. Ventrally and inferiorly oriented middle cerebral artery trunk and higher tortuosity of the vessel
