Telemedicine remote controlled stroke evaluation and treatment, the experience of radiographers, paramedics and junior doctors in a novel rural stroke management team
CONCLUSIONS: The telemedicine-based, remote controlled, stroke evaluation and treatment was experienced, by the participants, to be well organised and of high quality. Communication and image reading appear to be the salient challenges. Regular training sessions and follow-up, as well as an evaluation of incidents by the project manager, proved to be of great importance in retaining and securing the continued running of the service and ensuring high-quality treatment. Further research is indicated in the comparison of this telemedicine service with stroke treatment given in a mainstream hospital.PMID:34090447 | DOI:10.1186/s12913-021-06591-1

Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis: a systematic review
Conclusions EMT is an effective salvage therapy for refractory CVST, with a reasonable safety profile. Chemical thrombolysis, in conjunction with EMT, did not appear to result in additional harm or benefit. Further analysis is warranted to determine predictors of success after EMT for CVST.

Rapidly improving neurological deficit of stroke; case series in Academic institute, KAUH, Jeddah (P4.283)
Conclusions:Rapidly improving patient represent a challenge to whether tPA should be given. However, the good outcome with thrombolytic therapy observed in our study, will hopfuly support the decision to treat.Study Supported by: nonDisclosure: Dr. khoja has nothing to disclose.
