Are all stroke patients eligible for fast alteplase treatment? An analysis of unavoidable delays
ConclusionsUp to 31% of patients have delays due to medical or eligibility‐related causes that may be legitimate reasons for providing alteplase later than the benchmark time of 60 minutes.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Comparison of Four Bleeding Risk Scores to Identify Rivaroxaban‐treated Patients With Venous Thromboembolism at Low Risk for Major Bleeding
ConclusionsFour scoring systems that use criteria obtained in routine clinical practice, derived to predict low bleeding risk with VKA treatment for VTE, identified patients with less than a 1% risk of major bleeding during full‐course treatment with rivaroxaban.

Monte Carlo Simulation Modeling of a Regional Stroke Team's Use of Telemedicine
ConclusionsGiven the potential societal benefits, continued efforts to deploy telemedicine appear warranted. Aligning the incentives between those who would have to fund the up‐front technology investments and those who will benefit over time from reduced ongoing health care expenses will be necessary to fully realize the benefits of telemedicine for stroke care.

Computed Tomography Abnormalities and Epidemiology of Adult Patients Presenting With First Seizure to the Emergency Department in Qatar / Epidemiología y Alteraciones en la Tomografía Computarizada de los Pacientes Adultos Atendidos por una Primera Crisis Epiléptica en un Servicio de Urgencias en Qatar.
ConclusionsAdults who presented with first seizure to the ED in Qatar had a young male predominance, and a high proportion of brain CT scans were reported as abnormal. It is recommended that all such patients in this population should undergo prompt CT scanning in the ED, but the utility of routine electrolyte tests requires further investigation. Resumen ObjetivosExisten poco datos de la región del Medio Este del mundo en pacientes atendidos con una primera crisis epiléptica. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron describir las características epidemiológicas de los pacientes atendidos en el servicio de urgencias (SU) ...
