Correction:

Medicare not Medicaid (unclear about Medicaid as this is more dependent on state rules) coverage is expiring.

So the elderly, who also likely struggle the most with physically traveling to an office, will be the most harmed.

“AI’s immense potential to transform care delivery is somewhat tempered by risks of exploitation, manipulation, and monopolization. The evolving AI ecosystem increasingly includes new entrants unfamiliar with health care’s complexities or beholden to shareholders, underscoring the need for education and guardrails.” Perspective “Unseen Commercial Forces Could Undermine Artificial Intelligence Decision Support” by Kenneth D. Mandl, MD, MPH

Blood test may detect stroke type before hospital arrival A blood test may rapidly distinguish brain bleeds from clot-caused strokes, even before people with stroke symptoms reach the emergency room.

A new blood test may help doctors determine the type of a #stroke faster and allow them to start safe treatment for people before they get to the hospital, according to a study presented at the @americanheart.bsky.social #ISC25 conference. This could reduce #brain damage and lead to better outcomes.

Editorial: Medium- and Distal-Vessel Occlusion — The Limit of Thrombectomy? nej.md/40Hu9bP

Endovascular Treatment of Stroke Due to Medium-Vessel Occlusion | NEJM Whether the large effect size of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for stroke due to large-vessel occlusion applies to stroke due to medium-vessel occlusion is unclear. In a multicenter, prospective,...

In the ESCAPE-MeVO trial involving patients with ischemic stroke due to medium-vessel occlusion, thrombectomy within 12 hours did not lead to a better functional outcome and lower mortality at 90 days than usual care. Full trial results: nej.md/40LTUaL
