TL;DR: According to a strict definition of whiplash injury, a consecutive nonselected sample of 117 patients with recent injury who had similar sociocultural and educational backgrounds were assessed, finding symptomatic patients scored higher with regard to impaired well-being and performed worse on tasks of attentional functioning.

TL;DR: Favorable outcome is observed in most ischemic strokes and independently predicted by low National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score and younger age.

TL;DR: Severe neurological deficits at presentation, total anterior circulation stroke, and diabetes mellitus predict unfavourable outcome, and previous TIA are associated with increased risk of recurrence.

TL;DR: Six patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis and associated encephalopathy are described and compared and it is shown that two types of initial clinical presentation can be differentiated: a vasculitic type with stroke-like episodes and mild cognitive impairment in nine patients, and a diffuse progressive type with dementia, seizures, psychotic episodes or altered consciousness in 11 patients.

TL;DR: Data suggest that ICAD causing high-grade stenosis and occlusion are more likely to lead to intracranial obstructions and cerebral or retinal ischemic events, and Conversely, ICAD without luminal narrowing cause more local signs and symptoms.
