Congratulations! Important work - though we will still need to phenotype the patients.

Great commentary Simona. Thank you. Minor stroke has historically been difficult to define using NIHSS; non-disabling is a bit more difficult (involves subjectivity). Agree, if not treated, pts can remain at risk of stroke progression and early recurrence.

Agree. I call it transient neurovascular events. We have been arguing best nomenclature for over two decades. 25% of TIAs, have a dwi lesion at follow up. Tmax data can be useful.

This is so true Dr. Lees. How do we encourage current academic leadership that even though research and subspecialization are important, the goal should be to be a "generalist with a specialist eye"? In the US, we are creating "neurohospitalists" as a new specialty!

Stephen Hawking once said something that changed the way I interact with my team: “Quiet people have the loudest minds.” Why this is so important:

Here it is! In this meta-analysis, anticoagulation was superior to antiplatelets for stroke prevention in patients with #cervical #artery #dissection but carried increased risk of major bleeding. This argues for an individualized treatment approach. 🛑CAD ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ST…

Great comments, but ability to offer rtPA in delayed time window is a remarkable development. Older DIAS 2, DEDAS, EPITHET failed because of more liberal perfusion thresholds. Distal occlusions are more responsive to rtPA. Many interventionists dont target distal occlusions.

With age comes wisdom. Take advantage of it. Interact more with senior people. Stop the epidemic of loneliness. Ageing is a one way traffic. No one can escape it. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

So important that the fruits of science reaches the masses and makes a positive impact. This should be one. #epilepsy #equity
