Surgical and radiological interventions for treating symptomatic extracranial cervical artery dissection
CONCLUSIONS: No RCTs or CCTs compared either surgery or endovascular therapy with control. Thus, there is no available evidence to support their use for the treatment of extracranial cervical artery dissection in addition to antithrombotic therapy in people who continue to have neurological symptoms when treated with antithrombotic therapy alone.PMID:34559418 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD013118.pub2

Aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for the prevention of dementia.
CONCLUSIONS: There is no evidence to support the use of low-dose aspirin or other NSAIDs of any class (celecoxib, rofecoxib or naproxen) for the prevention of dementia, but there was evidence of harm. Although there were limitations in the available evidence, it seems unlikely that there is any need for further trials of low-dose aspirin for dementia prevention. If future studies of NSAIDs for dementia prevention are planned, they will need to be cognisant of the safety concerns arising from the existing studies. PMID: 32352165 [PubMed - in process]
