tPA before mechanical thrombectomy: To SKIP or not?

18 Mar 2020 by

Skipping intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) before mechanical thrombectomy (MT) may have similarly favourable outcomes to using tPA pre-MT in patients with acute stroke, according to the SKIP* study presented at ISC 2020.

SPIRIT-P1: Ixekizumab suitable for long-term treatment of psoriatic arthritis

17 Mar 2020 by

Ixekizumab induces early and durable improvements in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients naïve to biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs), with response occurring as early as week 1 and persisting throughout 3 years of treatment without incremental safety risks, according to the results of the phase III SPIRIT-P1* trial.

Wearable brain stimulation shows promise for motor function recovery after stroke

16 Mar 2020 by

A novel, noninvasive wearable brain stimulation device that delivers continuous transcranial magnetic stimulation to induce the brain to rewire itself significantly increases brain activity and is safe in patients with chronic ischaemic stroke — thus presenting a step forward to improving motor function after stroke, suggests a preliminary study presented at ISC 2020 Meeting.
