The Hazard of Negative (Not Neutral) Trials on Treatment of Acute Stroke: A Review (2019)
Journal Article
Bath, P. M., Appleton, J. P., & England, T. (2020). The Hazard of Negative (Not Neutral) Trials on Treatment of Acute Stroke: A Review. JAMA Neurology, 77(1), 114-124. https://doi.org/10.1001/jamaneurol.2019.4107

Importance: While there are a limited number of beneficial treatments for acute stroke (eg, stroke units, reperfusion, aspirin, hemicraniectomy), there are more negative (as opposed to neutral) interventions spanning multiple different mechanisms of...

Stroke, 51(1), 121–128. https://doi.org/10.1161/STROKEAHA.119.026128

Background and purpose

Blend, black hole and island signs and hypodensities are reported to predict hematoma expansion in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We explored the value of these noncontrast CT (NCCT) signs in predicting hematoma expan...

Background and Purpose—
Pilot trials suggest that glyceryl trinitrate (GTN; nitroglycerin) may improve outcome when administered early after stroke onset.

Methods—
We undertook a multicentre, paramedic-delivered, ambulance-based, prospective ran... Read More about Prehospital Transdermal Glyceryl Trinitrate for Ultra-Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage.
