Treatment in a mobile stroke unit (MSU) is associated with better functional outcomes, compared with treatment by emergency medical services (EMS), among patients with acute ischemic stroke, a newly published study suggests. In an observational study of patients who were eligible for thrombolysis, the mean score on the utility-weighted modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 90

New data fail to support an advantage of endovascular therapy (EVT) over standard medical therapy among patients with basilar-artery-occlusion stroke.

Further, researchers observed a trend toward higher risk for symptomatic
