Article Abstract
Stroke is a clinical emergency requiring urgent recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator treatment in eligible patients. The dosage of thrombolytic agent (alteplase) is weight dependent. However, many patients receive thrombolytic therapy based on weight estimation. Here, we assess the frequency of incorrect thrombolytic therapy dose as a result of weight estimation and evaluate the short-term safety and efficacy of alteplase misdose. Of 237 patients, weight was estimated in 147 (62%), of which 33 patients (22.4%) were treated with an erroneous dose of alteplase. An incorrect dose was associated with neither poor outcome nor a lower risk of hemorrhage. We conclude that hospitals should implement reliable methods for measuring patients' weight that could be easily applied and would not cause delays to the treatment of stroke patients.

Pharmacological modulation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) through dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists, commonly used for diabetes and obesity, shows promise in reducing alcohol consumption. We applied drug-target Mendelian randomization (MR) using genetic variation at these loci to assess their long-term effects on problematic alcohol use (PAU), binge drinking, alcohol misuse classifications, liver health, and other substance use behaviors. Genetic proxies for lowered BMI, modeling the appetite-suppressing and weight-reducing effects of variants in both the GIPR and GLP1R loci ("GIPR/GLP1R"), were linked with reduced binge drinking in the primary (β = -0.

Existing evaluations of the National Health Service Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP) in England have demonstrated associated reductions in body weight, hemoglobin A1c and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). In this study, we examined associations between completion of the NHS DPP and incidence of T2D and 30 other long-term conditions (LTCs), including LTCs considered linked to the program's interventional goals of body weight reduction, increased physical activity and improved diet quality (LTC-L) and LTCs considered to be possibly linked to those goals (LTC-PL). We found that completers of the NHS DPP had lower incidences of T2D, LTC-L and LTC-PL compared to non-attenders.

Background: Remote live-streamed training in endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a novel educational strategy. This study evaluated the dose-response relationship between training duration and clinical outcomes, and explored mediation pathways.
Methods: In a prospective cohort study, 1046 participants received remote EVT training, with 1010 completing follow-up.

Introduction: The Highway Safety Manual (HSM) offers crash prediction models for estimating the number and severity of crashes for several facility types. However, since these models were developed using data from selected states within the United States, they should be calibrated when applied to a new jurisdiction. The HSM recommended using a scalar calibration factor to calibrate the prediction models.
