Effect of Antiplatelet Therapy (Aspirin + Dipyridamole Versus Clopidogrel) on Mortality Outcome in Ischemic Stroke [PDF]
The optimal regimen of antiplatelet therapy for secondary prevention in noncardioembolic ischemic stroke remains controversial. We aimed to determine which regimen was associated with the greatest reduction in adverse outcomes.

ABSTRACT Platelets, as anucleate blood cells, play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), making antiplatelet therapy essential for preventing thrombotic events such as myocardial infarction. Thromboxane A₂ (TXA₂) is a key pro‐aggregatory mediator that drives platelet activation.

Kawasaki disease in siblings and a review of drug treatment
We have managed two anonymized siblings with Kawasaki disease (KD). The occurrence of KD in the elder brother alerted us to the occurrence of incomplete KD in the younger brother. Both siblings were treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and a high dose

Safety and efficacy of intensive vs. guideline antiplatelet therapy in high-risk patients with recent ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack: rationale and design of the Triple Antiplatelets for Reducing Dependency after Ischaemic Stroke (TARDIS) trial (ISRCTN47823388) [PDF]
RATIONALE: The risk of recurrence following a stroke or transient ischemic attack is high, especially immediately after the event. HYPOTHESIS: Because two antiplatelet agents are superior to one in patients with non-cardioembolic events, more ...

Both transient ischaemic attack (TIA) and ischaemic stroke lead to an increase in individual cellular‐derived populations of extracellular vesicles (EVs), including endothelial, platelet and leukocyte derived. These EVs have downstream roles in the pathophysiological events associated with TIA and stroke, including dysregulated inflammation and ...

Reverse redistribution on Rb-82: Does the mechanism of stress play a role?
We present a case of reverse redistribution in a patient imaged with Rb-82 positron-emitting tomography. The patient was imaged twice in rapid succession using pharmacological stress – once with dipyridamole and once with dobutamine.

ABSTRACT A plethora of cellular signaling pathways are dysregulated in cancer cells, promoting carcinogenesis and migration. Cholesterol has recently been linked to cancer by several subcellular mechanisms, especially by its involvement in the formation of lipid rafts, which promote oncogenic signaling and cancer cell invasion. Squalene synthase (SQS),
