Background Trials of endovascular therapy for ischemic stroke have produced variable
results. We conducted this study to test whether more advanced imaging selection, recently …

Background Whether intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (alteplase) is effective beyond
3 h after onset of acute ischaemic stroke is unclear. We aimed to test whether alteplase …

Determining whether a person with stroke has reached their full potential for recovery is
difficult. While techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and MRI have some …

Objective To determine the effect of calcium supplementation on myocardial infarction,
stroke, and sudden death in healthy postmenopausal women. Design Randomised, placebo …

Background The time to initiate intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke is generally
limited to within 4.5 hours after the onset of symptoms. Some trials have suggested that …

Background Stroke thrombolysis with alteplase is currently recommended 0–4·5 h after
stroke onset. We aimed to determine whether perfusion imaging can identify patients with …

Objectives: We examined the utility of echoplanar magnetic resonance perfusion imaging
and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in predicting stroke evolution and outcome in 18 …

Controversy exists whether acute hyperglycemia is causally associated with worse stroke
outcome or simply reflects a more severe stroke. In reversible ischemia models, hyperglycemia …

Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability and the recovery of motor function is important for
independence in activities of daily living. Predicting motor recovery after stroke in individual …

Background and objectives: Controversy exists about the optimal imaging technique in
acute stroke. It was hypothesised that CT is comparable with DWI, when both are read …
