Summary: Sex-related differences in outcomes were investigated in late-presenting stroke patients treated with endovascular treatment. The study found that sex did not influence functional outcomes, but men had worse outcomes with advancing age in terms of mortality and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.

Summary: For nearly 40 years, the prevalence of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia was widely believed to be 1 in 500, but this estimate was not based on population data. Instead, it was derived mathematically and suggested to potentially range from 1 in 200 to 1 in 1000, as noted by researchers.

Summary: Calcification is an important component in the development of atherosclerotic plaque, with CT imaging being a well-established tool for noninvasive assessment in the coronary arteries. PET imaging with 18F-sodium fluoride is gaining popularity as a method for assessing atherosclerosis activity and providing insight into future clinical events. Molecular imaging can provide additional information, adding a color dimension to CT or MRI images.

Summary: In frail patients with atrial fibrillation, oral anticoagulant treatment is associated with positive clinical outcomes. Direct oral anticoagulants have lower incidences of stroke, bleeding, and mortality compared to warfarin.

Summary: Rotational spectra of singly substituted carbon-13 isotopic species of six sulphur-terminated carbon chains were detected between 5 and 40 GHz using a supersonic discharge jet source in combination with a cavity Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. Precise experimental structures were derived for each chain except HC5S, indicating multiple formation pathways for the molecules. The use of (CS2)-C-13 provided important clues on the major formation pathways and revealed three distinct ways of C-13 substitution.

Summary: The main purpose of this short communication is to identify and analyze retracted editorials in the biomedical literature. Twenty-five out of 33 editorials were selected for further analysis. The majority of the editorials were retracted due to plagiarism and data-related issues. Concerningly, one-fifth of the editorials were funded by external agencies, with the United States having the highest number of retracted editorials. The average time between publication and retraction of the editorials is 2.48 years, with two editorials retracted after the longest durations, both written by the same author. In conclusion, editorial articles should, at the very least, be free from research/scientific misconduct.

Summary: It has been found that vascular risk is indirectly associated with cerebral amyloid burden via plasma a and β42/40, but this relationship is only observed in carriers with APOEε4+ genetic risk. Older adults with genetic vulnerability may benefit from careful monitoring of vascular risk factors directly associated with cerebral amyloid burden and indirectly with plasma a and β42/40.

Summary: This work extends the long-term monitoring program of stellar motions within the Galactic Center to study stars with separations of 2-7 arcsec from Sgr A*. By tracking the positions of about 2000 stars in adaptive-optics-assisted images, a sufficient number of positions along the orbits of these outer stars can now be measured. Results show that most of these stars exhibit significant accelerations toward Sgr A* and can be categorized as part of the known clockwise rotating disk feature in the Galactic Center.

Summary: Dystrophinopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by pathogenic variants in the DMD gene, with X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy being a specific form. Early recognition of these disorders is crucial as they can rapidly progress to heart failure.

Summary: The analysis of 229 editorials and opinion pieces in science and medical journals shows that the majority use metaphorical language related to fear, fakery, and exploitation to strengthen their arguments, while few offer alternative perspectives.

Summary: Editorials in fragile democracies like the Philippines play a political role for news media, functioning as a watchdog and also providing a platform for positive portrayals of strongman administrations. This article examines the tensions and complexities in editorials to understand how the media articulates its political stance. By analyzing editorials from four leading news outlets, it identifies three meta-thematic categories of media frames: character degradation frames, pro-establishment frames, and non-editorial frames, which reveal the democratic potential or lack thereof in news media.

Summary: In recent years, pulmonary vascular health has been found to be related to exercise intolerance and clinical outcomes. The health of pulmonary blood vessels can be quantified by the hemodynamic load faced by the right ventricle, which includes steady and pulsatile components. Different metrics, such as pulmonary arterial compliance, pulmonary vascular impedance, and pulmonary vascular distensibility with exercise, can assess the pulsatile load.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study found that reduced-dose direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) treatment was associated with a lower risk of bleeding in nursing home residents with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, without significant differences in effectiveness.

Summary: This study analyzes the editorial coverage of the 2015 migration crisis in major centre-left and centre-right newspapers in the UK, Germany, and Greece. Using a content analysis of editorials from 2015-2016, the researchers test the validity of the 'national media-system' hypothesis and find that media-system characteristics do influence the coverage of the crisis. However, UK editorials are more polarized than expected and there was no consensus-based editorial coverage in the initial phase of the crisis.
