Are cerebral microbleeds a risk factor for warfarin-related intracerebral hemorrhage?
This study suggests that underlying microbleeds are independently associated with an incidence of warfarin-related intracerebral hemorrhage. Future research should focus on elucidating the risks and benefits of warfarin medication in patients with microbleeds.
Psychiatric disorders were frequent in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients and their rates were comparable between groups, even for patients achieving an SVR. Our results emphasize the need for continuous assessment and care of coinfected patients, even after HCV clearance. Drug addiction remains an obstacle to access to HCV treatment. Despite the recent advent and continued development of directly acting antiviral agents (DAAs), it is still crucial to offer screening and comprehensive care for psychiatric and addictive disorders.
