TL;DR: Comparative studies of Doppler emboli signals in other clinical settings suggest a difference in composition or size of the underlying maternal between prosthetic valve patients and patients with carotid stenosis, and suggest that the signals are of gaseous origin in valve patients.

Clinical features associated with medically unexplained stroke-like symptoms presenting to an acute stroke unit.
TL;DR: Patients presenting with medically unexplained stroke‐like symptoms were investigated to identify distinguishing features which may help to identify a non‐organic aetiology and a history of anxiety or depression, as recorded in the notes, was not found to be associated with a medically unexplained presentation.

Peter Higgins,Jesse Dawson,Peter W. Macfarlane,Kate McArthur,Peter Langhorne,Kennedy R. Lees +5 more
TL;DR: AF detection through any means immediately after stroke holds strong PPV for confirmation after 90 days, justifying treatment decisions on early monitoring alone; however, failure to identify AF through early monitoring has only modest NPV even after 7 days of monitoring; repeated investigation is desirable.

Therapeutic interventions in acute stroke.
TL;DR: Therapeutic trials in stroke must include CT scanning, early treatment and a multicentre approach to achieve large numbers of patients, and Successful treatment of acute stroke is likely to combine several approaches.
