In a prospective cohort of 226 young ischemic stroke survivors, medication persistence was high (80.1%) over a median 3.9‐year follow‐up, while adherence was moderate. Older age and large artery atherosclerosis predicted better adherence, whereas younger age and lower quality of life were associated with poor adherence.

ABSTRACT We report a female infant with cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome type 4 (CFC4), an ultra‐rare RASopathy caused by a heterozygous MAP2K2 (c.619G>A, p.Glu207Lys) variant. From birth, she presented with neonatal hypotonia, respiratory distress, and feeding dysfunction characterized by absent sucking reflex, orofacial hypotonia, and sensory ...

Abstract Background Contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) using normal saline (NS) is an alternative to chest radiograph (CXR) to confirm central venous catheter (CVC) tip position during emergency. We aim to assess the feasibility and compare the efficacy of Dextrose 50% (D50%) and NS in detecting CVC malposition against CXR.

Recurrent Patent Foramen Ovale-Related Cerebral Infarcts Alternately Causing Bilateral Hand Paresis
Isolated hand paresis is a rare presentation of stroke, which mostly results from a lesion in the cortical hand motor area, a knob-like area within the precentral gyrus. I report the case of a patient who experienced recurrent ischemic stroke alternately

Transcranial doppler ultrasonography should it be the first choice for persistent foramen ovale screening? [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Persistent foramen ovale (PFO) is considered a cause of cryptogenic stroke and a risk factor for neurological events in young patients. The reference standard for identifying a PFO is contrast-enhanced transesophageal echocardiography (TEE ...

Patent Foramen Ovale and Stroke
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is common and found in nearly 25% of healthy individuals. The majority of patients with PFO remain asymptomatic and they are not at increased risk for developing a stroke. The presence of PFO, however, has been found to be higher in patients with cryptogenic stroke, suggesting there may be a subset of patients with PFO who ...

ABSTRACT Objective Fetuses with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and restrictive/intact atrial septum (RAS) have high mortality, partly due to pulmonary lymphangiectasia (PL). This study aimed to characterize atrial septal morphology in fetuses with HLHS and RAS and evaluate the impact of fetal intervention on PL and outcomes.

Transcatheter closure of Ventricular Septal defects in Malta : initial experience [PDF]
Ventricular septal defects (VSD) consist of deficiencies of the wall separating the two ventricles. VSDs are the commonest congenital cardiac defects. Small VSDs rarely require intervention, however, larger defects cause ventricular volume overload with ...

White–Sutton Syndrome: Insight of an Italian Cohort of 19 Subjects
New insights into White–Sutton syndrome with a collection of 19 Italian patients. Due to its complexity, we stress the importance of a systematic evaluation following the diagnosis and a thoughtful management of patients. Preliminary genotype–phenotype correlation analysis suggests the association between disruptive splicing variants and more severe ...
