Background
Small vessel disease causes a quarter of ischaemic strokes (lacunar subtype), up to 45% of dementia either as vascular or mixed types, cognitive impairment and physical frailty. However, there is no specific treatment to prevent progressi... Read More about Protocol: The Lacunar Intervention Trial 2 (LACI-2).

Background

Human neural stem cell implantation may offer improved recovery from stroke. We investigated the feasibility of intracerebral implantation of the allogeneic human neural stem cell line CTX0E03 in the subacute—chronic recovery phase of...

Incidence and predictors of early seizures in intracerebral haemorrhage and the effect of tranexamic acid (2020)
Journal Article
Law, Z. K., England, T. J., Mistri, A. K., Woodhouse, L. J., Cala, L., Dineen, R., …TICH-2 investigators. (2020). Incidence and predictors of early seizures in intracerebral haemorrhage and the effect of tranexamic acid. European Stroke Journal, 5(2), 123-129. https://doi.org/10.1177/2396987320901391

Introduction: Seizures are common after intracerebral haemorrhage. Tranexamic acid increases the risk of seizures in non-intracerebral haemorrhage population but its effect on post-intracerebral haemorrhage seizures is unknown. We explored the risk f...

Introduction

Nurses and other nonspecialists in dysphagia are often trained to screen swallowing poststroke. There are many basic tools that test water only, they are usually conservative, and patients that fail the test remain nil by mouth until...
