Understanding TIA: an ethnographic study of TIA consultations

Serum biomarkers for the early diagnosis of TIA: The MIND-TIA study protocol

BACKGROUND A Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) bears a high risk of a subsequent ischaemic stroke. Adequate diagnosis of a TIA should be followed immediately by the start of appropriate preventive therapy, including antiplatelets. The diagnosis of a TIA based on symptoms and signs only is notoriously difficult and biomarkers of brain ischaemia might improve the recognition, and target management...

24/7 TIA-service

Although the symptoms of a transient ischemic attack (TIA) by definition resolve completely, the subsequent risk of cardiovascular complications is substantial. Urgent diagnosis and start of secondary prevention can reduce these risks. In light of the potential unfavourable prognosis, especially the first days after a TIA, we have developed and implemented a 24/7 TIA-service. Patients can be re...

TIA as Acute Cerebrovascular Syndrome

Patients during early period after the onset of transient ischemic attack (TIA) are at high risk of stroke. Therefore, TIA in acute setting should be recognized to be an emergency requiring immediate evaluation and starting treatment. There is no meaning to differentiate TIA in acute setting from acute ischemic stroke (AIS) only by the duration of symptoms. Acute TIA and AIS are on the same spe...

Stress puts TIA on TOP.

Under conditions of limited nutrients, eukaryotic cells reprogram protein expression in a way that slows growth but enhances survival. Recent data implicate stress granules, discrete cytoplasmic foci into which untranslated mRNPs are assembled during stress, in this process. In the October 1, 2011, issue of Genes & Development, Damgaard and Lykke-Andersen (p. 2057-2068) provide mechanistic insi...
