Interconversion of stroke scales. Implications for therapeutic trials.
TL;DR: The Canadian Neurological Scale and the middle cerebral artery Neurological Score may reliably be converted, but the National Institutes of Health scale cannot be used to predict these scores reliably, even with reweighting of the motor score.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in the elderly
TL;DR: ACE inhibitors are effective in reducing blood pressure and can be considered for wider use in elderly hypertensives, and studies with perindopril and benazepril in the elderly confirm the efficacy of this group of drugs but highlight other pharmacokinetic differences.

A study of the acute pharmacodynamic interaction of ramipril and felodipine in normotensive subjects.
TL;DR: Further evidence is presented for the effective combination of ACE inhibitors and calcium antagonists to lower blood pressure and the reflex tachycardia associated with calcium antagonist therapy can be significantly reduced by coadministration with sustained antihypertensive effect.
