Transcranial Doppler ultrasound signals associated with prosthetic heart valves: an in vitro study.
Tom G. Mackay,Dimitrios Georgiadis,Donald G. Grosset,Andrew W. Kelman,Kennedy R. Lees,David J. Wheatley +5 more
TL;DR: Investigation of transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography found that signals found in prosthetic heart valve patients can be reproduced, at least qualitatively, using a mock circulatory loop which does not incorporate the formed elements of blood.

Preoperative risk factors in 10 418 patients with prior myocardial infarction and 5241 patients with prior unstable angina undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery

TL;DR: The hypothesis generating data suggest that the increased risk currently allocated in the EuroSCORE for an interval of 3 months between MI and CABG should be critically re-evaluated and prior MI should not be discounted as a risk factor if it is more than 3 months old.

Comparison of the Effects of Diuretics on Blood Pressure and Arterial Stiffness in Patients With Stroke
TL;DR: Both diuretics altered hemodynamic parameters to a similar extent and the results are consistent with a direct effect of diuretic therapy on vascular function.

Philip M.W. Bath,Michael Brainin,Chloe Brown,Bruce C.V. Campbell,Stephen M. Davis,Geoffrey A. Donnan,Gary A. Ford,Werner Hacke,Cynthia P Iglesias,Kennedy R. Lees,Stacey S. Pugh,Jeffrey L. Saver,Peter D. Schellinger,Thomas Truelsen +13 more
TL;DR: The authors are entering a challenging but exciting period when many new interventions may appear for stroke based on the use of devices, and it is critical that new interventions are shown to be safe and effective rather than just feasible.
