Blood markers in remote ischaemic conditioning for acute ischaemic stroke: data from the REmote ischaemic Conditioning After Stroke Trial. European Journal of Neurology, 28(4), 1225-1233. https://doi.org/10.1111/ene.14650

Background and purpose: Remote ischaemic per-conditioning (RIC) is neuroprotective in experimental ischaemic stroke. Several neurohumoral, vascular and inflammatory mediators are implicated. The effect of RIC on plasma biomarkers was assessed using c...

Predictors and outcomes of neurological deterioration in intracerebral hemorrhage: results from the TICH-2 randomised controlled trial. Translational Stroke Research, 12, 275-283. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12975-020-00845-6

Neurological deterioration is common after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We aimed to identify the predictors and effects of neurological deterioration and whether tranexamic acid reduced the risk of neurological deterioration. Data from the Tranexa...

The Landscape of Videofluoroscopy in the UK: A Web-Based Survey (2020)
Journal Article

Videofluoroscopy (VFS) is considered one of the gold-standard assessments of swallowing. Whilst guidelines for the application and conduct of VFS exist, their translation into clinical practice remain challenging. To build a greater understanding on...

Psychometric assessment and validation of the dysphagia severity rating scale in stroke patients (2020)
Journal Article
Everton, L. F., Benfield, J. K., Hedstrom, A., Wilkinson, G., Michou, E., England, T. J., …Hamdy, S. (2020). Psychometric assessment and validation of the dysphagia severity rating scale in stroke patients. Scientific Reports, 10, Article 7268. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-64208-9

Post stroke dysphagia (PSD) is common and associated with poor outcome. The Dysphagia Severity Rating Scale (DSRS), which grades how severe dysphagia is based on fluid and diet modification and supervision requirements for feeding, is used for clinic...

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...

Accuracy and clinical utility of comprehensive dysphagia screening assessments in acute stroke: A systematic review and meta‐analysis (2020)
Journal Article

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...
