Transcranial Doppler detection of microemboli in prosthetic heart valve patients: dependency upon valve type.
Dimitrios Georgiadis,M. Kaps,J. Berg,Tom G. Mackay,Dapper F,Faichney A,David J. Wheatley,Kennedy R. Lees +7 more
TL;DR: The prevalence and quantity of microEmboli signals in patients with prosthetic heart valves, as detected by transcranial Doppler, is dependent upon valve type, and the clinical significance of these microemboli signals remains to be further evaluated.
The effects on verbal communication skills of right hemishere stroke in middle age
TL;DR: This paper found that the non-brain-damaged groups used more words, spoke for longer and produced more information, while the stroke groups used fewer words and used fewer eye movements.

Jan F. Scheitz,Rachael L. MacIsaac,Azmil H. Abdul-Rahim,Bob Siegerink,Philip M.W. Bath,Matthias Endres,Kennedy R. Lees,Christian H. Nolte +7 more
TL;DR: Statin use prior to AIS was not associated with early hemorrhagic complications, irrespective of treatment with thrombolysis, and new initiation of statin treatment early after AIS did not affect risk of postacute ICH, but might be associated with reduced mortality.

Use of a 3-Item Short-Form Version of the Barthel Index for Use in Stroke: Systematic Review and External Validation.
Rachael L. MacIsaac,Myzoon Ali,Martin Taylor-Rowan,Helen Rodgers,Kennedy R. Lees,Terence J. Quinn +5 more
TL;DR: There is redundancy in the original BI; the factor analysis described a 3 factor structure, and item reduction suggested an optimal 3- item SF-BI comprising bladder control, transfer, and mobility items in keeping with 1 of the 3-itemSF-BI previously described in the literature.
Identification Of Echocardiographic “Smoke” in a Bench Model With Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound
TL;DR: The results suggest that smokelike echo is a special echo phenomenon occurring at low flow situations and does not itself produce material capable of embolizing into the systemic circulation.
