Article Abstract

Background: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a stroke type that primarily affects young individuals, with various risk factors and complex mechanisms. It accounts for 0.5% to 3% of all stroke cases and can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life.

Objective: This review aims to classify the etiology of CVT, assess its impact on prognosis, and evaluate the best treatment approaches. It also analyzes current issues in CVT management and proposes future directions for treatment.

Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature on CVT, focusing on risk factors, treatment strategies, and outcomes. The impact of anticoagulation therapy and endovascular interventions is examined.

Results: This review examines the various risk factors associated with CVT, including female-specific conditions, infections, autoimmune diseases, cancer, and mechanical triggers. It highlights the impact of these factors on the prognosis and outcomes of CVT. The effectiveness of anticoagulation therapy, both traditional and with direct oral anticoagulants, is discussed, along with the role of endovascular therapy in severe cases. The review also identifies current challenges in CVT management, such as incomplete thrombus clearance and the lack of standardized evaluation criteria for recanalization.

Conclusion: Further research is needed to optimize CVT management, improve patient outcomes, and enhance the quality of life for affected individuals.

Increased adiposity and chronic psychosocial stress (CPS) are plausible modifiable contributors of the recent increase in early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC). We conducted an 8-week randomized controlled pilot trial evaluating the feasibility and acceptability of time restricted eating (TRE) (daily ad libitum eating between 12-8pm) and Mindfulness ("Mindfulness for Beginners" course from the Calm app) among young adults. Participants were randomized to the following groups: TRE ( = 10); Mindfulness ( = 11); TRE & Mindfulness ( = 11); or Control ( = 11).

Long COVID and Food Insecurity in US Adults, 2022-2023.

JAMA Netw Open

September 2025

Department of Medicine, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

Importance: Long COVID (ie, post-COVID-19 condition) is a substantial public health concern, and its association with health-related social needs, such as food insecurity, remains poorly understood. Identifying modifiable risk factors like food insecurity and interventions like food assistance programs is critical for reducing the health burden of long COVID.

Objective: To investigate the association of food insecurity with long COVID and to assess the modifying factors of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation and employment status.

Association between transitional care in acute care hospitals and ambulatory care sensitive condition-related readmission.

Age Ageing

August 2025

Department of Nursing Health Services Research, Graduate School of Health Care Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

Background: Little is known about how ambulatory care sensitive condition (ACSC)-related readmissions can be reduced in acute care settings.

Objective: This study examined the association between transitional care for hospitalised older patients with ACSC and ACSC-related readmissions.

Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study included patients aged 65 years and older admitted with ACSC as the primary diagnosis from 1 April 2022 to 31 January 2023, using linked data from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination and the medical functions of the hospital beds database.
