Journal ArticleDOI

Surgical decompression for space-occupying cerebral infarction (the Hemicraniectomy After Middle Cerebral Artery infarction with Life-threatening Edema Trial [HAMLET]): a multicentre, open, randomised trial

TL;DR: Surgical decompression reduces case fatality and poor outcome in patients with space-occupying infarctions who are treated within 48 h of stroke onset and there is no evidence that this operation improves functional outcome when it is delayed for up to 96 h after stroke onset.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intraoperative hypotension and perioperative ischemic stroke after general surgery: a nested case-control study

TL;DR: Intraoperative hypotension might play a role in the development of postoperative ischemic stroke, and especially for mean blood pressure values decreasing more than 30% from baseline blood pressure, an association with postoperativeIsChemic stroke risks was observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of intracranial artery dissection

TL;DR: Most patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage undergo surgical or endovascular treatment to prevent rebleeding, whereas patients with intracranial artery dissection and cerebral ischaemia are treated with antithrombotics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognitive function in patients with diabetes mellitus: guidance for daily care.

TL;DR: Although cognitive decrements do not generally represent a pre-dementia stage in patients below the age of 60-65 years, in older individuals these subtle cognitive changes might represent the earliest stages of a dementia process.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) In Stroke (PAIS) trial: a multicentre, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase III trial

TL;DR: These results do not support routine use of high-dose paracetamol in patients with acute stroke and might have a beneficial effect on functional outcome in patients admitted with a body temperature 37-39 degrees C, but this post-hoc finding needs further study.
