OBJECTIVE
To observe the clinical efficacy difference among elongated needle, filiform needle and medication for post-stroke indigestion.
METHODS
Sixty cases of post-stroke indigestion were randomly assigned into an elongated needle group, a filiform needle group and a medication group, 20 cases in
BACKGROUND
Low-dose aspirin (ASA) is effective for secondary prevention of ischemic stroke but can increase the risks of hemorrhagic stroke, upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), and dyspepsia. Prophylactic administration of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) reduces the risks of these digestive
BACKGROUND
There are growing concerns for the side effects of dabigatran etexilate (dabigatran), including higher incidence of dyspepsia and gastrointestinal bleeding. We conducted a multicenter early implementation study to prospectively evaluate the safety, efficacy and adherence to dabigatran for
BACKGROUND
Warfarin is the only oral anticoagulant recommended for the prevention of ischemic stroke in atrial fibrillation. A newer and safer anticoagulant is needed because of increased hemorrhagic risks with warfarin, difficult-to-maintain therapeutic levels, and higher drug to drug and food
OBJECTIVE
To summarize the use rate, safety, efficacy of antithrombotics in stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) prevention, and reasons for not using dabigatran etexilate (DE) in Shanghai, China.
METHODS
Non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)-associated stroke patients were prospectively
The use of novel anticoagulants such as dabigatran are increasing. Despite increased risks of intracerebral haemorrhage with warfarin among Asians, there is little published data on dabigatran to assess 'real world' efficacy and safety of dabigatran therapy in Asia. This was a retrospective
The need for safe, effective and easily administered and monitored antithrombotic treatments that do not have the issues common to warfarin treatment has led to the development of new anticoagulant drugs. Dabigatran etexilate (Pradaxa®, Pradax™) is a prodrug of the direct thrombin inhibitor
The need for safe, effective, and easily administered and monitored antithrombotic treatments that do not have the issues common to warfarin treatment has led to the development of new anticoagulant drugs. Dabigatran etexilate (Pradaxa®, Pradax™) is a prodrug of the direct thrombin inhibitor
This retrospective, observational study was conducted to determine overlap of prevalence between atrial fibrillation (AF), an increasingly common condition that primarily affects the elderly population, and dyspepsia, which is also common. Because the overlap of these conditions could interfere with
This article provides an overview of the clinical profile of oral dabigatran etexilate (Pradaxa®, Pradax™) [hereafter referred to as dabigatran] when used for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF), followed by a review of cost-utility
BACKGROUND
Although dyspepsia is common among nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients, its impact on patient health and cost has not been adequately studied.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the incremental health care burden associated with dyspepsia among NVAF patients and its impact on warfarin
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) at risk of stroke are not always anticoagulated with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) despite lack of contraindication. Dabigatran, an oral direct thrombin inhibitor, is a new option with proven safety and effectiveness in these patients. The advantages of
BACKGROUND
Dabigatran is an oral direct thrombin inhibitor recently approved for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) as an alternative to warfarin. The primary advantages of dabigatran are freedom from monitoring and less interaction with other drugs and food. It is ideal for patients who
BACKGROUND
Candida esophagitis is a rare disease, but its incidence is higher in patients with impaired immunity due to an underlying disease. Patients with candida esophagitis usually present with lower retrosternal pain or dysphagia, but they are sometimes asymptomatic. Several risk factors,
