Interventional Stroke Therapy
Interventional stroke therapy is an overview of the field of stroke intervention and imaging with many short summaries and illustrations helpful for the novice and the advanced learner alike. Although not a comprehensive resource, it is useful for understanding the basic imaging techniques, scientific underpinnings, and current controversies in the field. This concise first edition publication is a collaboration of German authors, edited by Drs. Jansen and Brueckmann, who do a nice job in briefly summarizing developments in the field for easy understanding.

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence stroke rehabilitation guidance - is it useful, usable, and based on best evidence?
Abstract In the UK, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is responsible for producing clinical guidance based on sound evidence. In 2013 they produced guidance on Stroke Rehabilitation and this editorial outlines why this is not a useful guide for clinicians or commissioners. Primarily this is because NICE used inappropriate methods; the methods used are appropriate for evaluating drugs, but are inappropriate when applied to any complex intervention. Moreover, the actual recommendations are written in clinically unhelpful language. Future rehabilitation guidance should include ensuring that...

Losing And Finding My Mother After Her Stroke
The air outside a hospital feels especially cool and fresh. The natural light, even if it's gray January light is a blessed relief after the fluorescent tunnels I've been guiding my mother along. We had a funny moment of intimacy in the bathroom, trying to get her urine sample in a cup. It isn't easy: crouching, aiming, approximating where in the space below you the stream will collect. Add a daughter trying to micromanage her mother's urine flow and a line of weak-bladdered patients queuing outside, rolling their eyes and tugging at their waistbands and you have all the ingredients of a Mike and Elaine sketch. Sometimes...

The role of interventional neuroradiology in treatment of hemorrhagic stroke.
Abstract Treatment of hemorrhagic strokes necessitates hospitalization in an accommodated hospital offering the possibility of a multidisciplinary approach. In this setting, over recent years interventional radiology has become increasingly important from the diagnostic as well as the therapeutic standpoint. In the context of subarachnoid hemorrhage by intracranial aneurysm rupture, the NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) and ASA (American Stroke Academy) recommendations suggest that endovascular coiling should be considered as an alternative to surgical clipping (class I, level of evidenc...

What is the Price of the Potential for a Meaningful Recovery following Intracerebral Hemorrhage?
In this issue of the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, Vardanyan and colleagues report on the cost-utility of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) with thrombolysis for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) from the perspective of the United Kingdom (UK) National Health Service (NHS)1 using data from the Minimally Invasive Surgery Plus Alteplase in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation (MISTIE III) trial2 and the UK Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme (SSNAP).3 The economic evaluation revealed that the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for MIS with thrombolysis fell significantly above the UK's Nationa...

Source: NICE Area: News NICE has published a costing statement to accompany its guidance on the use of apixaban for preventing stroke and systemic embolism in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (TA 275).   The statement notes that "Apixaban provides an alternative treatment option at a comparable cost and therefore it is anticipated that there will not be a significant cost impact as a result of implementing this guidance."

The Move Towards Full Implementation Of The Nice Guidelines For Stroke Prevention In Atrial Fibrillation: The Potential Cost And Clinical Impact
Updated treatment guidelines for atrial fibrillation (AF) have been released by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the United Kingdom and highlight a current shortfall in the prescribing of anticoagulants to patients with AF despite the importance of stroke prevention. A model was designed for use as a planning tool for Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) looking to budget for the future move towards full implementation of the NICE guidelines.

NICE recommends anticoagulants over aspirin for stroke prevention
AF is a condition that affects the heart, causing it to beat irregularly and too fast. When this happens, blood does not flow properly through the heart and the rest of the body. NICE’s latest quality standard, which sets out advice on the treatment and management of AF,  recommends that people with AF who have a CHA2DS2-VASC stroke risk score of 2 or above are offered newer anticoagulants, such as apixaban, dabigatran etexilate, rivaroxaban or a vitamin K antagonist like warfarin.
