Birthday of a King

In the little village of Bethlehem,There lay a child one day,And the sky was bright with a holy light,O\u27er the place where Jesus lay:Alleluia!O how the angels sang,Alleluia! how it rang;And the sky was bright with a holy light,\u27Twas the birthday of a King. \u27Twas a humble birth-place,But oh! how much God gave us that day,From the manger bed, what a path has ledWhat a perfect holy way:Alleluia!O how the angels sang,Alleluia! how it rang;And the sky was bright with a holy light, Twas the birthday of a King

Surgical results of the carotid occlusion surgery study: Clinical article

The Carotid Occlusion Surgery Study (COSS) was conducted to determine if STA-MCA bypass, when added to best medical therapy, would reduce subsequent ipsilateral stroke in patients with complete ICA occlusion and an elevated OEF in the cerebral hemisphere distal to the carotid occlusion. A recent publication reported the methodology of COSS in detail and briefly outlined the major findings of the trial.29 The surgical results of COSS are described in detail in this report

Lower stroke risk with lower blood pressure in hemodynamic cerebral ischemia

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether strict blood pressure (BP) control is the best medical management for patients with symptomatic carotid artery occlusion and hemodynamic cerebral ischemia. METHODS: In this prospective observational cohort study, we analyzed data from 91 participants in the nonsurgical group of the Carotid Occlusion Surgery Study (COSS) who had recent symptomatic internal carotid artery occlusion and hemodynamic cerebral ischemia manifested by ipsilateral increased oxygen extraction fraction. The target BP goal in COSS was ≤130/85 mm Hg. We compared the occurrence of ipsilateral ischemic stroke during follow-up in the 41 participants with mean BP ≤130/85 mm Hg to the remaining 50 with higher BP. RESULTS: Of 16 total ipsilateral ischemic strokes that occurred during follow-up, 3 occurred in the 41 participants with mean follow-up BP of ≤130/85 mm Hg, compared to 13 in the remaining 50 participants with mean follow-up BP >130/85 mm Hg (hazard ratio 3.742, 95% confidence interval 1.065-13.152, log-rank p = 0.027). CONCLUSION: BPs ≤130/85 mm Hg were associated with lower subsequent stroke risk in these patients. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE: This study provides Class III evidence that control of hypertension ≤130/85 mm Hg is associated with a reduced risk of subsequent ipsilateral ischemic stroke in patients with recently symptomatic carotid occlusion and hemodynamic cerebral ischemia (increased oxygen extraction fraction)
