Endovascular therapy (EVT) has revolutionized the management of acute ischaemic strokes with large vessel occlusion, with emerging evidence suggesting its benefit also in large infarct core volume strokes. In the last two years, four randomised controlled trials have been published on this topic-RESCUE-Japan LIMIT, ANGEL-ASPECT, SELECT2 and TENSION, with overall results showing that EVT improves functional and neurological outcomes compared to medical management alone. This review aims to summarise the recent evidence presented by these four trials and highlight some of the limitations in our current understanding of this topic.

20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3 can reduce the effects of oxidative stress and cell death in cerebral ischemia‒reperfusion injury (CIRI). Neuroinflammation is crucial post-CIRI, but how 20(R)-Rg3 affects ischemia‒reperfusion-induced neuroinflammation is unclear. To study 20(R)-Rg3's effects on neuroinflammation and neuronal preservation in stroke models and explore toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor-88/nuclear factor kappa B (TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB) pathway mechanisms.

Introduction: Kidney stone disease is associated with numerous cardiovascular risk factors. However, the findings across studies are non-uniformly consistent, and the control of confounding variables remains suboptimal. This study aimed to investigate the association between kidney stone and cardiovascular disease.

It plays a central role in cardiovascular conditions such as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. Gaining insight into the mechanisms underlying arterial thrombosis is essential for developing effective treatments aimed at preventing thrombotic events and reducing associated health burdens.

Background: The benefits of rehabilitation in acute ischemic stroke patients following thrombectomy remain underexplored. We assessed which activities of daily living (ADLs) show the greatest improvement after goal-directed therapy in an inpatient rehabilitation setting.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed pre- and post-rehabilitation functional assessments in 40 acute ischemic stroke patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.
