Is there association between hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign on CT scan and time from stroke onset within the first 24-hours?
Conclusions: No evidence of a correlation between time of stroke onset and presence of a HAS within the first 24-h post acute ischaemic stroke was identified. The HAS was associated with a higher NIHSS score at presentation.

In light of recently published clinical trials and their implication for clinical practice, does a large catchment area acute hospital require 24  hour CT neck and head angiography and/or neuro-interventional services in the setting of acute ischaemic stroke?
ConclusionUHL should provide routine CT angiography to all patients presenting with acute ischaemic stroke in line with current guidelines. The need for provision of neuro-interventional services on-site proved more difficult to assess and requires further analysis.

Transcranial Doppler sonography for detecting stenosis or occlusion of intracranial arteries in people with acute ischaemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: This review provides evidence that TCD or TCCD, administered by professionals with adequate experience and skills, can provide useful diagnostic information for detecting stenosis or occlusion of intracranial vessels in people with acute ischaemic stroke, or guide the request for more invasive vascular neuroimaging, especially where CT or MR-based vascular imaging are not immediately available. More studies are needed to confirm or refute the results of this review in a larger sample of stroke patients, to verify the role of contrast medium and to evaluate the clinical advantage of the use of ultrasound. ...

A single-site retrospective study of pediatric arterial ischemic stroke etiology, clinical presentation, and radiologic features.
CONCLUSIONS: PAIS occurs more frequently in younger children and this group most frequently presents with convulsion as the initial symptom. The overall etiologies of PAIS may be different from those of adult stroke and the involved regions may be distinguishing features of PAIS or its different forms, but more research is required.

Endovascular clot retrieval for acute ischaemic stroke: the Auckland City Hospital experience.
CONCLUSIONS: Endovascular clot retrieval can be safely and effectively performed in a New Zealand setting with similar results to recent trials in anterior circulation occlusion patients. We suggest that District Health Boards develop clot retrieval services as part of regional hyperacute stroke treatment pathways. PMID: 26645756 [PubMed - in process]

Patient Outcomes with Stent-Retriever Thrombectomy for Anterior Circulation Stroke: A Meta-Analysis and Review of the Literature.
Authors: Sivan-Hoffmann R, Gory B, Rabilloud M, Gherasim DN, Armoiry X, Riva R, Labeyrie PE, Gonike-Sadeh U, Eldesouky I, Turjman F Abstract BACKGROUND: Mechanical thrombectomy with stent retrievers is now the reference therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in the anterior circulation in association with thrombolysis. We conducted an extensive systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the clinical and angiographic outcomes of stent-retriever thrombectomy in patients with acute anterior circulation stroke. Available literature published to date on observational studies and three randomized trials (MR CLEAN, ...
