The higher risk of early recurrent stroke after posterior circulation transient ischaemic attack or minor stroke versus after carotid territory events could be due to a greater prevalence of large...

Background Patients who have severe narrowing at or near the origin of the internal carotid artery as a result of atherosclerosis have a high risk of ischaemic stroke ipsilateral to the arterial...
Carotid stenting versus carotid endarterectomy: Evidence basis and cost implications (2008)
Janssen, M.P., De Borst, G.J., Kappelle, L.J., Moll, F.L., Ackerstaff, R.G.A., ...
Objective: Carotid Angioplasty combined with Stenting (CAS) is increasingly performed because of its presumed benefits. A study was performed to identify key factors that determine the...

Previous studies suggest an abnormal cerebral cortical energy metabolism in migraineurs. If causally related to the pathophysiology of migraine, these abnormalities might show a dose–response...

Background: Large randomised trials performed in the 1980s and early 1990s showed that carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is beneficial for patients with recently symptomatic severe stenosis. Some surgeons...
Who should have carotid surgery or angioplasty? (2000)
Carotid endarterectomy reduces the overall risk of stroke in patients with ECST70–99% recently sympotomatic stenosis and to a lesser extent, at least in the short-term, in patients with severe...

Atherothrombosis and ischaemic stroke
Unstable plaque is the main mechanism of stroke in patients with carotid stenosis
Rothwell, P. M., McDowell, Z., Wong, C. K., Dorman, P. J.
OBJECTIVES: To compare the judgments of clinicians on which domains of health in the short form questionnaire (SF-36) would be most important to patients with multiple sclerosis with the opinions of...

OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for operative stroke and death from carotid endarterectomy. DESIGN: Systematic review of all studies published since 1980 which related risk of stroke and death to...
Computed tomographic evidence of cerebral swelling in benign intracranial hypertension.
Rothwell, P M, Gibson, R J, Sellar, R J
Computed tomography of 30 patients presenting acutely with benign intracranial hypertension was compared with that of 30 normal controls matched for age and sex. Qualitative and quantitative...

Cerebral vasculitis following allopurinol treatment.
A 45-year-old man developed cerebral vasculitis associated with a systemic hypersensitivity response shortly after commencing treatment with allopurinol. The illness settled on withdrawal of the drug...
Angina and myocardial infarction presenting with pain confined to the ear.
Two cases are described in which cardiac ischemia presented with pain confined to the ear. In both cases the correct diagnosis was missed and treatment delayed. Angina and myocardial infarction may...
Ariesen, M J, Algra, A, Warlow, C P, Rothwell, P M
We developed a model identifying patients with previous cerebral ischaemia at increased risk of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). Based on data from eight cohorts, 107 ICHs were found to have occurred...
