Sex and Stroke in Thrombolyzed Patients and Controls
Christian Hametner,Rachael L. MacIsaac,Lars Kellert,Azmil H. Abdul-Rahim,Peter A. Ringleb,Kennedy R. Lees +5 more
TL;DR: Functional outcome (mRS) without r-tPA was overall similar between the sexes, as was the response to r- tPA, and nonlinear sex-by-age interaction improved estimates of functional independence; this should be considered in sex-related studies in stroke.

Overnight clonidine suppression test in the diagnosis and exclusion of pheochromocytoma
Iain C. MacDougall,Christopher G. Isles,Helen Stewart,G. C. Inglis,Judith Finlayson,I. Thomson,Kennedy R. Lees,Nigel C. McMillan,Patricia Morley,S.G. Ball +9 more
TL;DR: In a prospective study designed to differentiate pheochromocytoma from other forms of hypertension, urinary catecholamines were measured after sleep and clonidine administration as mentioned in this paper.

Associations of chronic heart failure with outcome in acute ischaemic stroke patients who received systemic thrombolysis: analysis from VISTA.
TL;DR: There are concerns that systemic thrombolysis might not achieve clinically important outcome amongst chronic heart failure (CHF) patients with acute ischaemic stroke, but the aim was to investigate the relevance of CHF on the outcome of acute stroke patients who received thromBOlysis.

Blood pressure control after acute stroke
TL;DR: A clinical trial is proposed to establish whether it is better to maintain pre-existing antihypertensive therapy or to discontinue this temporarily and the optimal policy with regard to blood pressure management in the first 48 h after acute stroke remains uncertain.

Improving the Efficiency of Stroke Trials Feasibility and Efficacy of Group Adjudication of Functional End Points
Kate McArthur,Paul C. D. Johnson,Terence J. Quinn,Peter Higgins,Peter Langhorne,Matthew Walters,Christopher J. Weir,Jesse Dawson,Kennedy R. Lees +8 more
TL;DR: Achievable improvements in interobserver reliability may substantially reduce study sample size, with associated financial benefits, and central adjudication of mRS assessments is feasible (including across international centers), valid and reliable despite the challenges of m RS assessment in large clinical trials.
