TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated rapid endovascular treatment in addition to standard care in patients with acute ischemic stroke with a small infarct core, a proximal intracranial arterial occlusion, and moderate-to-good collateral circulation.
Increased hippocampal BDNF immunoreactivity in subjects treated with antidepressant medication.
TL;DR: Findings are consistent with recent studies measuring CREB levels in this same subject sample, and support current animal and cellular models of antidepressant function.

Defining hematoma expansion in intracerebral hemorrhage: Relationship with patient outcomes
TL;DR: HE robustly predicts poor outcome regardless of the growth definition or the outcome definition, and the highest positive predictive values are obtained when using an absolute growth definition to predict more severe outcomes.
