Arterial Obstruction on Computed Tomographic or Magnetic Resonance Angiography and Response to Intravenous Thrombolytics in Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Intravenous thrombolytics provide benefit to stroke patients with computed tomographic angiography or magnetic resonance angiography evidence of arterial obstruction, but the sample was underpowered to demonstrate significant treatment benefit or harm among patients with apparently patent arteries.Clinical Trial Registration—URL: http://www.isrctn.com. Unique identifier: ISRCTN25765518.

Uric Acid Therapy Prevents Early Ischemic Stroke Progression Brief Report
Conclusions—UA therapy may prevent EIW after acute stroke in thrombolysed patients. Optimal access of UA to its molecular targets through appropriate collaterals may modify the magnitude of the neuroprotective effect.Clinical Trial Registration—URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00860366.

Tenecteplase-Tissue-Type Plasminogen Activator Evaluation for Minor Ischemic Stroke With Proven Occlusion Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Administration of TNK–tissue-type plasminogen activator in minor stroke with intracranial occlusion is both feasible and safe. A larger randomized controlled trial is needed to prove that this treatment is efficacious. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01654445.
