TL;DR: The 2017 update of The Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations for the Secondary Prevention of Stroke is a collection of current evidence-based recommendations intended for use by clinicians across a wide range of settings to provide guidance for the prevention of ischemic stroke recurrence through the identification and management of modifiable vascular risk factors.

TL;DR: Deficits after 30 days of onset are correlated with chronic white matter hyperintensity, suggesting subclinical cognitive impairment and/or impaired ability to compensate for the effects of acute ischemic infarcts.

TL;DR: The majority of patients with CTP imaging in the ESCAPE trial had penumbral patterns, which were associated with better outcomes overall, and patients with penumbra treated with endovascular therapy had the greatest odds of good functional outcome.

TL;DR: The ‘Heads Up' test may be a useful, simple maneuver to assess the risk of collateral failure and guide the decision to pursue recanalization therapy in acute cerebral ischemia patients with minimal deficits despite persisting large cerebral artery occlusion.

TL;DR: It is hypothesize aggressive BP reduction is not associated with ischemic injury after ICH, and the findings of this study will provide evidence for the link, or lack thereof, between BP reduction and isChemic injury in ICH patients.
