TL;DR: This European randomised open-label clinical trial with blinded outcome assessment assessed whether modest systemic cooling started within 6 hours of symptom onset improves functional outcome at three months in awake patients with acute ischaemic stroke.
The communication effects of right brain damage on the very old and the not so old
TL;DR: The paper describes the one month post stroke communication behaviour of two RBD groups, aged 65 and 80, which involved groups heterogeneous in time since incident, age and education.
Thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke.
Karim Hajjar,Daniel M Kerr,Kennedy R. Lees +2 more
TL;DR: Benefit from intravenous thrombolysis when initiated up to 4.5 hours after symptom onset is demonstrated, and pooled analysis of all trials indicates that the sooner that alteplase is given, the greater is the benefit.

TL;DR: A list of 132 expected AEs after acute ischemic stroke may be used to simplify interpretation and reporting of complications, and can be modestly predicted by patient characteristics, facilitating stratification of patients by risk for poststroke complications.
Impact of Atrial Fibrillation on Outcome in Thrombolyzed Patients With Stroke Evidence From the Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive (VISTA)
TL;DR: In this nonrandomized comparison, presence of atrial fibrillation had no independent impact on stroke outcome and compared with untreated comparators, the patients who received thrombolysis experienced an advantage in outcomes that was of equal magnitude whether in the presence or absence of atrian fibrilation.
