⁦@JPAppleton⁩ presented our poster on the pathway developed to manage incidental retinal emboli at the UK Stroke Forum today. A Quality improvement project with ophthalmology

Today is World Stroke Day. Our Stroke Medicine Service delivers specialised care to adults of all ages from emergency treatment to rehabilitation. Watch @ITVCentral from 6pm tonight to see how our stroke service is helping patients every day. #WorldStrokeDay

On #WorldStrokeDay it is so important that everyone recognises the signs of stroke and can quickly access care by calling 999. New FAST campaign coming soon 📺 @NHSEngland - get help quickly to ensure the best possible recovery and life after stroke @TheStrokeAssoc

Day 4 Clinical Trial #WSC2024 @WorldStrokeOrg. rh proUrokinase was non-inferior to Alteplase. The PRAAN registry showed that 80% of patients post-EVT go home. I could not find the results of PUMICE and THEIA.

Day 3 Clinical Trials #WSC2024 @WorldStrokeOrg Intra-arterial TNK not helpful in posterior circulation stroke, more evidence for minimally invasive surgery for ICH, MRI was non-inferior to CTP based patient selection for EVT and DOACs safe but not efficacious in CVT #strokemed

Day 2 Clinical Trials: Step towards non-gated single-phase cardiac-neck-brain CTA, OPTIMAS/CATALYST will change guidelines, early anticoagulation can be implemented more convincingly, BP reduction <130 is better for overall CVD reduction #WSC2024 @WorldStrokeOrg #stroke

Day 1 Clinical trial #WSC2024 Balloon Guide catheter trial stopped earlier and primary stroke prevention trial #stroke @WorldStrokeOrg

Is left atrial appendage occlusion a valuable treatment option for patients with atrial fibrillation and #breakthroughstroke despite anticoagulation therapy? @davidseiffge @boersma_lucas ja.ma/47BEHMx

From @JAMA_current: Among pts with a large infarct on noncontrast CT presenting within 24 hours, thrombectomy did not demonstrate improvement in functional outcomes at 90 days vs medical care alone; findings were not definitive & further study is needed. ja.ma/4dnjQhk

Well done to @ClaudiaZeee on her @PracticalNeurol review discussing the causes of secondary hypertension in cerebrovascular disease - worth checking out for an overview of how to approach its investigation and management. @CamStroke

🧵On call #meded tweet neurology is NOT hard if you 1)Take a history 2)examine the patient 3)based on 1)&2) try &localise the lesion 4)think about a differential diagnosis You CAN make life really hard by NOT doing these things, hence the 🤷‍♂️ More info jnnp.bmj.com/content/86/2/2…
