TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the relationship between infarct volume and clinical outcome varies nonlinearly with the magnitude of infarcct size, and the importance of volume as an outcome predictor was linearly associated with decreased chances of achieving good outcome.

TL;DR: In patients with ischemic stroke, TTE might lead to a change in clinical management in ≈1 of 10 patients with known stroke subtype before TTE but changed acute treatment decisions in <1 percent of patients, and Serum troponin levels improved the yield of TTE in these patients.

TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV tPA) compared with normal saline, placebo, or no treatment in patients with wake-up stroke using imaging-based treatment algorithms was performed in this paper.

TL;DR: LAE is associated with anticoagulation failure in AF patients admitted with an ischemic stroke; further studies are needed to delineate the significance of this association and improve stroke prevention strategies.

TL;DR: Sen as discussed by the authors argued that people's ability to acquire food is dominantly related to distribution rather than the absolute total amount of food available in a region, and that the current perceived shortage may be principally a problem of distribution, rather than an issue of overall availability of angiography equipment or trained personnel.
