Is there a role for nerinetide following ischaemic stroke?

25 Mar 2020 by

The eicosapeptide nerinetide did not improve outcomes in patients with large vessel occlusion-related acute ischaemic stroke who underwent endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). However, patients not treated with alteplase appeared to derive some benefit, results from the multinational ESCAPE-NA1* trial showed.

0.25 mg/kg tenecteplase sufficient for large-vessel stroke

19 Mar 2020 by

The lower 0.25 mg/kg dose of the thrombolytic tenecteplase may be sufficient for reperfusion of blocked vessels prior to thrombectomy in patients with ischaemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion compared with the 0.4 mg/kg dose, according to the EXTEND-IA TNK* Part 2 study presented at the ISC 2020 Meeting.

19 Mar 2020

Migraine attacks herald the first symptomatic intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in most individuals with Dutch-type cerebral amyloid angiopathy (D-CAA), although such attacks do not predict an earlier onset of first haemorrhage, as shown in a recent study.
