https://www.selleckchem.com/MEK.html We aim to describe the burden, characteristics, and cognitive associations of cerebral small vessel disease in a Canadian sample living with multimorbidity in precarious housing. Participants received T1, T2-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, and susceptibility-weighted imaging 3T magnetic resonance imaging sequences and comprehensive clinical, laboratory, and cognitive assessments. Cerebral small vessel disease burden was characterized using a modified Small Vessel Disease (mSVD) score. One point each was given for moderate-severe white matter hyperintensities, ≥1 cerebral microbleeds, and ≥1 lacune. Multivariable regression explored associations between mSVD score, risk factors, and cognitive performance. Median age of the 228 participants (77% male) was 44.7 years (range, 23.3-63.2). In n=188 participants with consistent good quality magnetic resonance imaging sequences, mSVD scores were 0 (n=127, 68%), 1 (n=50, 27%), and 2 (n=11, 6%). Overall, one-third had an mSVD ≥1 n=61 (32%); this proportion wage and was associated with poorer cognitive performance. Swallowing difficulties are common poststroke. National clinical guidelines recommend feeding by percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) when oral nutrition cannot be maintained although survival benefit might be short term. It is unknown whether a decade of general care improvements have impacted upon PEG provision and outcomes. This retrospective cohort study examined PEG placement and mortality poststroke in England. National Health Service Hospital Episode Statistics and Office for National Statistics mortality data between April 2007 and March 2018 were linked to identify all admissions in England with stroke-related codes (I61, I63, and I64)±PEG insertion and deaths at 3, 6, and 12 months. Linear and logistic regression examined trends over time and mortality. Patients (923 236) with stroke underwent 17 532 PEG procedures (mean rate 1.9%), with an average reduction o
