This study aims to investigate the expression levels of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), the precursor form of NGF (proNGF), and p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) in lung injury induced by cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion (I/R) in both young and elderly rats. ⋯ Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion-induced lung injury was associated with increased expression of proNGF and p75NTR, as well as decreased NGF expression in lung tissue. These alterations in NGF, proNGF, and p75NTR may contribute to the susceptibility to age-related lung injury.

With the aim of reducing the risk of Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) in patients with Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation (NVAF), Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO) devices are emerging as an alternative to oral anticoagulants. ⋯ For patients with an absolute contraindication to anticoagulation and/or failure to use oral anticoagulants, evidence for the use of LAAO devices is scarce.
