Impact of ultra/hyper-acute administration of glyceryl trinitrate on secondary outcome after acute stroke: a meta-analysis of individual patient data from randomised trials (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Background Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) is a candidate reperfusion and hypotensive treatment for hyperacute stroke. We assessed the effect of early administration of GTN (within 6 hours) on secondary outcomes (taken at 3 months post randomisation), acro...

The effect of transdermal glyceryl trinitrate in acute stroke patients with carotid stenosis: data from the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke trial (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Background: There is concern that blood pressure lowering in acute stroke may compromise cerebral perfusion and worsen outcome in the context of carotid stenosis. The effect of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) on outcome in acute stroke patients with caroti...

Characteristics and outcomes of patients with or without a bleeding event: results from the triple antiplatelets for reducing dependency in ischaemic stroke (TARDIS) trial (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Background: Several studies showed that hyperglycaemia is associated with poorer prognosis in intracerebral haemorrhage. We explored the characteristics and outcomes of patients with hyperglycaemia in the Tranexamic acid in IntraCerebral Haemorrhage-...

Recruitment challenges in MRI studies of acute intracerebral haemorrhage: experience from the TICH-2 MRI substudy (2018)
Conference Proceeding

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is widely used in clinical practice and in trials for ischaemic stroke; however, relatively few large multicentre trials for intracerebral haemorrhage have used MRI. We describe the main recruitme... Read More about Recruitment challenges in MRI studies of acute intracerebral haemorrhage: experience from the TICH-2 MRI substudy.

Platelet and haemoglobin levels in patients on isosorbide mononitrate and/or cilostazol with lacunar ischaemic stroke: data from the LACI-1 trial (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Background: Cilostazol and isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN) have properties that may be of benefit in the context of cerebral small vessel disease and lacunar ischaemic stroke. As both drugs may influence platelet and haemoglobin levels, we sought to as...

Serum amyloid protein is associated with outcome following acute ischaemic stroke: data from the REmote ischaemic Conditioning After Stroke Trial (RECAST) (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Background: Remote ischaemic per-conditioning (RIC) in experimental ischaemic stroke is neuroprotective. Several neurohumoral, vascular and inflammatory mediators are implicated. Methods: The REmote ischaemic Conditioning After Stroke Trial (RECAS...
