Stroke-in-Progression 729
TLDR
Whether the concept of stroke-in-evolution is really an obsolete idea is asked and a simple approach to this question is to ask about its place in clinical practice.
The diagnosis of transient ischemic attacks
TLDR
This thesis is to investigate various measures to improve the reliability in making this diagnosis of transient ischemic attack.

The latest medical buzz phrase is evidence based . This term has become a shibboleth, a sacrosanct icon almost like motherhood. Who could possibly be against basing decisions on evidence? It is…
Stroke-in-progression.
TLDR
Although it has been advised that the concept of progressing stroke be discarded, this advice seems premature considering that it is a common and critical condition, it would appear better to organize a prospective study with detailed clinical reports, serial CT, angiography, and when possible NMR PET or SPECT and detailed pathological examination of brain and extra-intracranial cerebral arteries.
Transient ischaemic attack: a primary care perspective of stroke prevention

TLDR
D diagnosis of TIA is difficult and this study highlights the need for further education and practical guidelines for GPs so that GPs could be better equipped to assess and manage TIAs effectively in the community in consultation with stroke physicians.
The Hamburg Stroke Data Bank: goals, design and preliminary results
TLDR
The Hamburg Stroke Data Bank allows storage of time-dependent data: multiple findings can be entered at different times after stroke onset, and can be operated without computer knowledge.
The haemorheological features of lacunar strokes
TLDR
All haemorheological parameters with the exception of the haematocrit were pathological when compared with values obtained from a normal control group and in descending order of frequency the pathological changes were in erythrocyte aggregation, plasma viscosity and ery throat deformability.

Acute Ischemic Cerebrovascular Syndrome: Diagnostic Criteria
TLDR
Clinical trials testing new treatments for acute ischemic stroke or secondary stroke prevention should limit enrollment to patients with “definite” AICS whenever feasible.

TLDR
Three right-handed individuals suffered left inferior frontal infarction with clinical evidence of language and dyspraxic deficit to corroborate dominance of the left cerebral hemisphere and showed dramatically rapid amelioration of a deficit in speaking aloud.
Cholesterol embolism as a cause of transient ischemic attacks and cerebral infarction
TLDR
A 69-year-old man experienced multiple 5- to 8-minute spells of numbness or weakness involving one or the other hand in 3 years despite warfarin therapy, and died 5 months after the initial medical evaluation.
Broca aphasia
TLDR
The findings suggest that infarction affecting the Broca area and its immediate environs, even deep into the brain, causes a mutism that is replaced by a rapidly improving dyspraxic and effortful articulation, but that no significant disturbance in language function persists.

TLDR
In delineating the several clinical types of focal ischemic disease and outlining the causes of cerebral ischemia and infarction, the study group considers the problems of data interpretation in the face of inconsistent terminology and critically reviews earlier reports of clinical trials of anticoagulants, platelet function suppressants, and thrombolytic agents.
