Blood markers in remote ischaemic conditioning for acute ischaemic stroke: data from the REmote ischaemic Conditioning After Stroke Trial (2020)
Journal Article

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 (2020)
Journal Article

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...

A Systematic Review of Minor Phytocannabinoids with Promising Neuroprotective Potential (2020)
Journal Article

Embase and Pubmed were systematically searched for articles addressing the neuroprotective properties of phytocannabinoids, aside from cannabidiol and Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol, including Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (Δ9‐THCA), Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabiva...

A meta-analysis of remote ischaemic conditioning in experimental stroke (2020)
Journal Article

Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) is achieved by repeated transient ischaemia of a distant organ/limb and is neuroprotective in experimental ischaemic stroke. However, the optimal time and methods of administration are unclear. Systematic review id... Read More about A meta-analysis of remote ischaemic conditioning in experimental stroke.

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

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...

The effects of acute and sustained cannabidiol dosing for seven days on the haemodynamics in healthy men: A randomised controlled trial (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 The British Pharmacological Society Background: In vivo studies show that cannabidiol (CBD) acutely reduces blood pressure (BP) in men. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of repeated CBD dosing on haemodynamics. Methods: Twenty-si...

Incidence and predictors of early seizures in intracerebral haemorrhage and the effect of tranexamic acid (2020)
Journal Article

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... Read More about Incidence and predictors of early seizures in intracerebral haemorrhage and the effect of tranexamic acid.

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...
