Granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor mobilizes bone marrow stem cells in patients with subacute ischemic stroke: the Stem Cell Trial of Recovery EnhanceMent After Stroke (STEMS) Pilot Randomized, Controlled Trial (ISRCTN 16784092) (2006)
Journal Article
Sprigg, N., Bath, P. M., Zhao, L., Willmot, M., Gray, L. J., Walker, M. F., …Russell, N. (2006). Granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor mobilizes bone marrow stem cells in patients with subacute ischemic stroke: the Stem Cell Trial of Recovery EnhanceMent After Stroke (STEMS) Pilot Randomized, Controlled Trial (ISRCTN 16784092). Stroke, 37(12), 2979-2983. https://doi.org/10.1161/01.str.0000248763.49831.c3

Background and Purpose - Loss of motor function is common after stroke and leads to significant chronic disability. Stem cells are capable of self-renewal and of differentiating into multiple cell types, including neurones, glia, and vascular cells....

Effect of nitric oxide donors on blood pressure and pulse pressure in acute and subacute stroke (2006)
Journal Article
Gray, L. J., Sprigg, N., Rashid, P., Willmot, M., & Bath, P. M. (2006). Effect of nitric oxide donors on blood pressure and pulse pressure in acute and subacute stroke. Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 15(6),

High blood pressure (BP), pulse pressure (PP), and rate pressure product (RPP) areeach associated independently with a poor outcome in acute ischemic stroke. Whereas nitric oxide (NO) donors, such as glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), lower blood pressure i...

Compression stockings and the prevention of symptomatic venous thromboembolism: data from the Tinzaparin in Acute Ischaemic Stroke Trial (2005)
Journal Article
Sprigg, N., Gray, L. J., Bath, P. M., Boysen, G., de Deyn, P. P., Leys, D., …van der Sande, J. J. (2005). Compression stockings and the prevention of symptomatic venous thromboembolism: data from the Tinzaparin in Acute Ischaemic Stroke Trial. Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 14(5),

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a well recognised and preventable complication of acute stroke. While graduated compression stockings reduce the risk of VTE in surgical patients their benefit in acute stroke remains uncertain. Methods: T...
