Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of unilateral sensory or motor symptoms: frequency of neurological pathology depends on side of symptoms.
TL;DR: The records of 82 patients who had undergone inpatient neurological investigation for unilateral motor symptoms, sensory symptoms, or both, without definite neurological signs, were reviewed and diagnosis of a physical disorder was more frequent if symptoms were on the right side rather than on the left.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognosis and management in the first few days after a transient ischemic attack or minor ischaemic stroke.
TL;DR: This review considers what is known about the early prognosis after TIA and minor ischaemic stroke, what factors identify individuals at particularly high early risk of stroke, and what evidence there is that urgent preventive treatment is likely to be effective in reducing the earlyrisk of stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Who should have carotid surgery or angioplasty
TL;DR: The current policy of operating on all patients with a recently symptomatic severe carotid stenosis will, on average, do more good than harm, and the effectiveness of endarterectomy could be improved by selecting patients more rigorously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computed tomographic evidence of cerebral swelling in benign intracranial hypertension.
TL;DR: Qualitative and quantitative assessments showed smaller cranial CSF spaces in the cases of benign intracranial hypertension, suggesting that cerebral swelling is involved in the pathogenesis of benign intrusion hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disentangling the Relationship Between Chronic Kidney Disease and Cognitive Disorders
