A secondary analysis of the TEMPO-2 RCT found no significant improvement in outcomes for minor ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous tenecteplase, regardless of the presence of disabling deficits. ja.ma/4njNn0e

2/ Only 14% (@AHAScience) and 7% (@ESOstroke) of recommendations are supported by high-level evidence. Most rely on observational data or expert opinion.

Human rights should never be ignored when choosing a conference location. The World Stroke congress should never have been held in a location where basic human rights and therefore the safety of participants can not be guaranteed. @NikolaSprigg

Great work from @CharlotteZerna and @YuAmyyu showing that volume of white matter hyper intensity influences neurological symptoms in minor stroke/ tia.

We are excited to share the results of our DOUBT study. This work shows the usefulness of mri in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with possible TIA. @UCalgaryMed @mihill68 @DCNSNeuro @AHS_YYCZone @CIHR_IRSC jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
Randomize patients into trials so we can get the evidence that we need. Do vascular imaging on all minor strokes. Randomize in tempo2 or endolow when it is up and running.
EVT in mild stroke. No high level evidence, more people doing it. It is time to do RCTs @SCouttsMD @mihill68 thanks for the great editorial accompanying our paper. ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1…

Now we have evidence for stroke thrombectomy in a developing country it’s probably about time to have access to thrombectomy in Scotland. #ESOC2019 #thrombectomy @scotgov @ScotParl
#ESOC2019 RCT: R Nogueira, S Martins, Brazil. RESILIENT thrombectomy trial. After first interim analysis at 174 patients DSMB stopped. Results with 221 patients included: Thrombectomy associated with overwhelming efficacy in all primary and secondary outcomes! Major achievement
It was a pleasure to comment on this important work. Read scans carefully and improve patients outcomes. #thrombolysisworks #ESOC2019 @DCNSNeuro
