Infarct Size May Distinguish the Pathogenesis of Lacunar Infarction of the Middle Cerebral Artery Territory.
CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that infarct lesion size may be used as a method to distinguish SVD and BAD in lacunar infarction patients with normal MCA. PMID: 26788612 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Low-dose thrombolysis for submassive pulmonary embolism
This study aimed to evaluate the role of half-dose tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in preventing death/hemodynamic decompensation in submassive (intermediate-risk) PE without increasing the risk of bleeding. In a prospective, non-randomized, open-label, single-center trial, we compared 50 mg rt-PA plus low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) with LMWH in submassive (intermediate-risk) PE. Eligible cases had confirmed pulmonary hypertension on echocardiography, and/or right ventricular cavity expansion and/or interventricular septal deviation on echocardiography, and/or right to left ventricular ratio equal to or grea...
