“…In the ASA arm of the International Stroke Trial (IST), among patients treated with 300 mg ASA, significantly fewer recurrent IS or deaths were seen [ 21 ]. Moreover, these results were observed with 160 mg [ 22 ], and in the Swedish Aspirin Low-dose Trial (SALT) with 75 mg ASA [ 23 ]. These trials support the administration of lower dose ASA as it effectively reduces the ischemic endpoint with no significant excess of hemorrhagic side-effects and other gastrointestinal adverse effects.…”

Stroke embodies one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. We aimed to provide a comprehensive insight into the effectiveness and safety of antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants in the secondary prevention of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack. A systematic search for randomized controlled trials, comparing antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy versus aspirin or placebo among patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, was performed in order to summarize data regarding the different regimens. Keyword-based searches in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were conducted until the 1st of January 2021. Our search explored 46 randomized controlled trials involving ten antiplatelet agents, six combinations with aspirin, and four anticoagulant therapies. The review of the literature reflects that antiplatelet therapy improves outcome in patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack. Monotherapy proved to be an effective and safe choice, especially in patients with a high risk of bleeding. Intensified antiplatelet regimens further improve stroke recurrence; however, bleeding rate increases while mortality remains unaffected. Supplementing the clinical judgment of stroke treatment, assessment of bleeding risk is warranted to identify patients with the highest benefit of treatment intensification.

“…The less affluent consumers of cooking gas and kerosene are being forced by prohibitive prices to turn to the 'last resort' fuels of charcoal and firewood; even among consumers who can afford to pay prices which currently obtain, uncertain local availability of hydrocarbon fuels is also encouraging a tendency towards greater dependency on firewood and charcoal. As neither the full magnitude nor the complete duration of the Sierra Leone fuel emergency can be predicted with any certainty, the form of additional societal responses to the emergency and their implications for wood-fuel consumption must remain a subject of conjecture (cf Sorensen, 1983). These derive from the great variety of heating requirements characterising the different household and non-household uses to which firewood and charcoal are put.…”

The socio-ecology of firewood and charcoal on the Freetown peninsula

Opening ParagraphIn a country which in the last 200 years has undergone continuous and often momentous political, economic and social changes, few things are capable of conveying as strong an impression of stability and changelessness as wood fuel (charcoal and firewood) consumption and production; and nowhere is this more striking than on the Freetown or Western Area (formerly Colony) peninsula. In this region, which has always accounted for the major share of national electricity, kerosene and cooking gas (LPG) consumption, not only is current percentage household firewood consumption only fractionally lower than in the nineteenth century but a much higher proportion of households consume charcoal now than at any time in the last two centuries (Cline-Cole, 1984a). Today firewood and charcoal combined supply a minimum of 80 per cent of total peninsula energy demand for both domestic and non-household uses (Davidson, 1985). Freetown's firewood consumption also represents some 10 per cent of the national total (Atlanta, 1979).

“…In 1980, Boston's coldest Christmas Day of the century heralded a major cold spell that deepened in early 1981, and precipitated a natural gas shortage which went unrecognized until gas line pressures dropped drastically (Sorensen, 1983). Increased gas demand was exacerbated by the difficulty of maintaining adequate delivery pressures in extremely cold conditions.…”

Three recent cases of climate extremes are studied to identify human impacts and response strategies and to identify common characteristics that may help illuminate the nature of climate hazards. The 1980 heat wave in the central United States, 1981 cold wave in Boston, Massachusetts, and recent flooding and lake level rise in northern Utah, illustrate several important aspects of climate hazards that separate them from the more traditional set of catastrophic events (e.g. tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes) usually dealt with by hazards research and management. Among those characteristics are an emphasis on health impacts rather than physical damage, accumulative effects rather than short shocks, a tendency for impacts to accrue to certain socio-economic classes, and relatively slow onset. The management and research implications of these hazard characteristics are explored.
