A case report describes mechanical thrombectomy performed 28 hours after stroke onset, guided by CT perfusion showing salvageable tissue, with marked neurologic recovery at discharge.

Longer times from symptom onset to randomization equaled a smaller—or perhaps no—advantage for Impella vs standard care.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability. If patients develop a complication in the first days after stroke, such as fever or a pneumonia, their recovery is often worse and the risk ...

Development of effective medications for central nervous system (CNS) disorders has long been plagued by a high failure rate in clinical trials. One ...
