A study explored the efficacy of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in old-old patients compared with younger patients with stroke. Of all the 6412 patients, 406 were old-old, 2755 were young-old and 3251 were younger. It was found that old-old patients had higher risks of composite vascular events, disabling stroke, bleeding & mortality within 90 days. Further, genotype-guided DAPT might not be as effective in old-old patients as in younger ones.

A recent study highlights the utility of two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in assessing right atrial mechanics in OSAHS. Progressive reductions in reservoir and conduit strain, coupled with elevated contraction strain, signal early right heart remodeling correlated with apnea severity.

A premature neonate developed upper limb compartment syndrome after uterine rupture extruded the arm through a scar defect. Conservative management with continuous monitoring yielded complete functional recovery and normal limb growth at 10-year follow-up, highlighting non-operative safety in selected cases.
