Repeated novel cage exposure-induced improvement of early Alzheimer's-like cognitive and amyloid changes in TASTPM mice is unrelated to changes in brain endocannabinoids levels (2007)
Journal Article
Pardon, M. C., Sarmad, S., Rattray, I., Bates, T. E., Scullion, G. A., Marsden, C. A., …Kendall, D. A. (2007). Repeated novel cage exposure-induced improvement of early Alzheimer's-like cognitive and amyloid changes in TASTPM mice is unrelated to changes in brain endocannabinoids levels. Neurobiology of Aging, 30(7), 1099-1113. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2007.10.002

Environmental factors (e.g. stress, exercise, enrichment) are thought to play a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease later in life. We investigated the influence of repeated novel cage exposure on the development of early Alzheimer's-like p...

Should data monitoring committees assess efficacy when considering safety in trails in acute stroke? (2007)
Journal Article
Bath, P. M., Gray, L. J., & Wahlgren, N. (2007). Should data monitoring committees assess efficacy when considering safety in trails in acute stroke?. International Journal of Clinical Practice, 61(10),

The primary role of a trials Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) is to ensure the safety of enrolled patients. In stroke trials, safety is monitored typically by comparing death and stroke specific events between treatment groups. DMCs may also have the...

Sex differences in quality of life in stroke survivors. Data from the Tinzaparin in Acute Ischaemic Stroke Trial (TAIST) (2007)
Journal Article
Gray, L. J., Sprigg, N., Bath, P. M., Boysen, G., De Deyn, P. P., Leys, D., …Ringelstein, B. (2007). Sex differences in quality of life in stroke survivors. Data from the Tinzaparin in Acute Ischaemic Stroke Trial (TAIST). Stroke, 38, https://doi.org/10.1161/STROKEAHA.107.488304

Introduction: Female sex is predictive of poor functional outcome in stroke, even after correction for prognostic factors. Poor quality of life (QoL) is observed in stroke survivors, with lower scores seen in the most disabled patients. We used data...

The Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive (2007)
Journal Article
Myzoon, A., Bath, P. M., Curram, J., Davis, S. M., Diener, H., Donnan, G. A., …Lees, K. R. (2007). The Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive. Stroke, 38(6),

Background and Purpose - Stroke has global importance and it causes an increasing amount of human suffering and economic burden, but its management is far from optimal. The unsuccessful outcome of several research programs highlights the need for r... Read More about The Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive.

Can we improve the statistical analysis of stroke trials? Statistical re-analysis of functional outcomes in stroke trials (2007)
Journal Article
Bath, P. M., & Optimising Analysis of Stroke Trials Collaboration, O. (2007). Can we improve the statistical analysis of stroke trials? Statistical re-analysis of functional outcomes in stroke trials. Stroke, 38(6), https://doi.org/10.1161/STROKEAHA.106.474080

Background and Purpose—Most large acute stroke trials have been neutral. Functional outcome is usually analyzed usinga yes or no answer, eg, death or dependency versus independence. We assessed which statistical approaches are mostefficient in analyz... Read More about Can we improve the statistical analysis of stroke trials?

Stroke severity, early recovery and outcome are each related with clinical classification of stroke: data from the 'Tinzaparin in Acute Ischaemic Stroke Trial (TAIST) (2007)
Journal Article
Sprigg, N., Gray, L. J., Bath, P. M., Lindenstrom, E., Boysen, G., De Deyn, P. P., …Ringelstein, B. (2007). Stroke severity, early recovery and outcome are each related with clinical classification of stroke: data from the 'Tinzaparin in Acute Ischaemic Stroke Trial (TAIST). Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 254(1-2),

Introduction: Baseline severity and clinical stroke syndrome (Oxford Community Stroke Project, OCSP) classification are predictors of outcome in stroke. We used data from the ‘Tinzaparin in Acute Ischaemic Stroke Trial’ (TAIST) to assess the relation...

Unruptured arteriovenous malformations of the brain (2007)
Journal Article
Al-Shahi Salman, R., Mast, H., & Stapf, C. (2007). Unruptured arteriovenous malformations of the brain. Advances in Clinical Neuroscience and Rehabilitation, 6(6),

Unruptured, asymptomatic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) lurk in the brains of approximately one person in every thousand; their prevalence, based on four studies of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of 7,359 people without brain disorders, 1-4 was...

Amphetamine increases blood pressure and heart rate but has no effect on motor recovery or cerebral haemodynamics in ischaemic stroke: a randomized controlled trial (ISRCTN 36285333) (2007)
Journal Article
Sprigg, N., Willmot, M., Gray, L. J., Sunderland, A., Pomeroy, V., Walker, M., & Bath, P. M. (2007). Amphetamine increases blood pressure and heart rate but has no effect on motor recovery or cerebral haemodynamics in ischaemic stroke: a randomized controlled trial (ISRCTN 36285333). Journal of Human Hypertension, 21(8),

Amphetamine enhances recovery after experimental ischaemia and has shown promise in small clinical trials when combined with motor or sensory stimulation. Amphetamine, a sympathomimetic, might have haemodynamic effects in stroke patients, although li...
