TL;DR: The MoCA picked up substantially more cognitive abnormalities after transient ischemic attack and stroke than the Mini-Mental State Examination, demonstrating deficits in executive function, attention, and delayed recall.

TL;DR: The results show that, although genetic variants can be detected in patients with ischaemic stroke when compared with controls, all associations validated are specific to a stroke subtype, and this finding has two implications.

TL;DR: This work proposes a framework that prioritizes the analysis and reporting of multivariate risk-based HTE and suggests that other subgroup analyses should be explicitly labeled either as primary sub group analyses (well-motivated by prior evidence and intended to produce clinically actionable results) or secondary (exploratory) subgroups analyses (performed to inform future research).

TL;DR: This work aims to provide a repository of the most current incidence and mortality data on stroke available by country and illustrate the gaps in these data to promote discussion and provide insights into the worldwide burden of stroke.

TL;DR: Results of the ECST and NASCET were consistent when analyzed in the same way, and contrary to clinical recommendations and current practice, surgery was of little benefit in patients with carotid near occlusion.
