TL;DR: Among patients with anterior circulation stroke who could be treated within 8 hours after symptom onset, stent retriever thrombectomy reduced the severity of post-stroke disability and increased the rate of functional independence.
Journal ArticleDOI
MRI criteria for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis: MAGNIMS consensus guidelines.

TL;DR: State-of-the-art MRI findings in patients presenting with a clinically isolated syndrome were discussed in a MAGNIMS workshop, the goal of which was to provide an evidence-based and expert-opinion consensus on diagnostic MRI criteria modifications.
Journal Article

Mar Tintoré,Alex Rovira,Maria J. Martínez,Jordi Río,Pablo Dı́az-Villoslada,Luis Brieva,C. Borràs,E. Grivé,Jaume Capellades,Xavier Montalban +9 more
TL;DR: The four dichotomized MR imaging parameters proposed by Barkhof et al are more specific and accurate than the criteria proposed by Paty et al or Fazekas et al for predicting conversion to clinically definite multiple sclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maria A. Rocca,Maria Pia Amato,Nicola De Stefano,Christian Enzinger,Jeroen J. G. Geurts,Iris-K Penner,Alex Rovira,James F. Sumowski,Paola Valsasina,Massimo Filippi +9 more
TL;DR: Standardised neuropsychological tests that are easy to administer and sensitive to disease-related abnormalities are needed to gain a better understanding of the factors affecting cognitive performance in patients with MS than exists at present.
Journal ArticleDOI
