TL;DR: In patients with ischemic stroke with a proximal cerebral arterial occlusion and salvageable tissue on CT perfusion imaging, early thrombectomy with the Solitaire FR stent retriever, as compared with alteplase alone, improved reperfusion, early neurologic recovery, and functional outcome.

TL;DR: The clinical outcomes of patients with stroke with large vessel occlusion treated with direct endovascular thrombectomy within 4·5 h would be non-inferior compared with the outcomes of those treated with standard bridging therapy, as well as the intention-to-treat population, were hypothesized.
Journal Article
Emergency care provision for, and psychological distress in, survivors of domestic violence : original research
TL;DR: In this article, a survey of 62 participants presenting in the acute aftermath of domestic violence (as defined by the Domestic Violence Act of 1998) was conducted over 12 weeks at the Trauma and Resuscitation Unit of a Level One trauma centre in an urban public hospital in South Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transradial versus transfemoral arterial approach for cerebral angiography and the frequency of embolic events on diffusion weighted MRI
Vinicius Carraro do Nascimento,L. de Villiers,Ian P. Hughes,Alexis Ford,Cheryl Rapier,Henry E. Rice +5 more
TL;DR: Despite the proven benefit of TRA over TFA in neurointervention, the number of MRI DWI restriction foci were significantly more frequent during cerebral angiography when TRA was selected and the widespread use of the technique may become clinically relevant.
Journal ArticleDOI
An approach to balance problems and falls in elderly persons
TL;DR: In this paper, a multidisciplinary approach is proposed to identify and address factors contributing to the fall. The assessment, which includes history, physical examination and evaluation of gait, postural control and mental function, is aimed at identifying situational and associated factors surrounding a fall, intrinsic impairments in gait or pathologies that increase the risk of falls.
