Brief Consent Methods Enable Rapid Enrollment in Acute Stroke Trial: Results From the TICH-2 Randomized Controlled Trial (2021)
Journal Article
the TICH-2 Investigators, Law, Z. K., Appleton, J. P., Scutt, P., Roberts, I., Al-Shahi Salman, R., …Sprigg, N. (2021). Brief Consent Methods Enable Rapid Enrollment in Acute Stroke Trial: Results From the TICH-2 Randomized Controlled Trial. Stroke, 53(4), 1141-1148. https://doi.org/10.1161/STROKEAHA.121.035191

Background: Seeking consent rapidly in acute stroke trials is crucial as interventions are time sensitive. We explored the association between consent pathways and time to enrollment in the TICH-2 (Tranexamic Acid in Intracerebral Haemorrhage-2) rand...

Diagnostic accuracy of the Dysphagia Trained Nurse Assessment tool in acute stroke (2021)
Journal Article
Benfield, J. K., Wilkinson, G., Everton, L. F., Bath, P. M., & England, T. J. (2021). Diagnostic accuracy of the Dysphagia Trained Nurse Assessment tool in acute stroke. European Journal of Neurology, 28(8), 2766-2774. https://doi.org/10.1111/ene.14900

Background and purpose Comprehensive swallow screening assessments to identify dysphagia and make early eating and drinking recommendations can be used by trained nurses. This study aimed to validate the Dysphagia Trained Nurse Assessment (DTNAx) to... Read More about Diagnostic accuracy of the Dysphagia Trained Nurse Assessment tool in acute stroke.

Direct mechanical thrombectomy without intravenous thrombolysis versus bridging therapy for acute ischemic stroke: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (2021)
Journal Article
Podlasek, A., Dhillon, P. S., Butt, W., Grunwald, I. O., & England, T. J. (2021). Direct mechanical thrombectomy without intravenous thrombolysis versus bridging therapy for acute ischemic stroke: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. International Journal of Stroke, 16(6), 621-631. https://doi.org/10.1177/17474930211021353

Background: Direct mechanical thrombectomy may result in similar outcomes compared to a bridging approach with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT + MT) in acute ischemic stroke. Recent randomized controlled trials have varied in their design and noninferi...

A pilot of the feasibility and usefulness of an aged obese model for use in stroke research (2021)
Journal Article
Learoyd, A. E., Calmus, R., Cunningham, C. N., England, T. J., Farr, T. D., Fone, K. C., …Trueman, R. C. (2021). A pilot of the feasibility and usefulness of an aged obese model for use in stroke research. Wellcome Open Research, 6, Article 104. https://doi.org/10.12688/wellcomeopenres.16592.1

Background: Animal models of stroke have been criticised as having poor predictive validity, lacking risk factors prevalent in an aging population. This pilot study examined the development of comorbidities in a combined aged and high-fat diet model,...

Local anaesthesia as a distinct comparator versus conscious sedation and 1 general anaesthesia in endovascular stroke treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2021)
Journal Article
Butt, W., Dhillon, P. S., Podlasek, A., Malik, L., Nair, S., Hewson, D., …Mcconachie, N. (2022).

Protective Effects of Cannabidivarin and Cannabigerol on Cells of the Blood-Brain Barrier Under Ischemic Conditions (2021)
Journal Article
Stone, N. L., England, T. J., & O' Sullivan, S. E. (2021). Protective Effects of Cannabidivarin and Cannabigerol on Cells of the Blood-Brain Barrier Under Ischemic Conditions. Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, 6(4), 315-326. https://doi.org/10.1089/can.2020.0159

Background and Objectives: Preclinical studies have shown cannabidiol is protective in models of ischemic stroke. Based on results from our recent systematic review, we investigated the effects of two promising neuro-protective phytocannabinoids, can...
