Journal ArticleDOI

Patient outcomes in historical comparators compared with randomised-controlled trials

TL;DR: The beneficial effects of decompressive hemicraniectomy on survival were not confirmed using a historical comparator dataset, and patients identified from Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive may not have been truly representative of patients with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thrombolysis in acute cerebrovascular disease: indications and limitations.

TL;DR: Large-scale trials have shown that thrombolytic therapy reduces mortality and preserves left ventricular function in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and Streptokinase and recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) are the agents that have been the most widely investigated in stroke studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) after acute focal cerebral ischemia

TL;DR: This review focuses on the clinical perspective of HBO therapy and summarizes both the clinical and experimental data availabe on HBO therapy following ischemic stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

Commentary on a GWAS: HDAC9 and the risk for ischaemic stroke

TL;DR: The findings suggest that well-recognized clinical stroke subtypes correspond to distinct aetiological entities, but the molecular pathways that are affected by the identified genetic variants are not yet pinpointed, and the observed associations apply only for some, but not all victims of a specific stroke aetiology.
