چکیده
Symptomatic intracranial stenoses are an important cause of stroke and have a high risk of recurrent stroke with medical therapy. The Stenting and Aggressive Medical Management for Preventing Recurrent Stroke in Intracranial Arterial Stenosis (SAMMPRIS) trial unexpectedly showed a higher-than-expected rate of complications with intracranial stenting and a lower-than-expected recurrence rate with medical therapy. In this commentary, the authors review possible explanations for these findings and suggest future strategies for study. (Stroke. 2012;43:616-620.)

متن کاملTowards a Better Understanding of Critiques about Ancient Texts using Argumentation
Ancient texts are interpreted by critics in order to assign them a given semantics. However, the semantics to be associated to these texts is not unique and different critics may have different conflicting opinions about their “correct” interpretation. In this paper, we propose to adopt argumentation theory, a technique to manage conflicting information, together with Semantic Web languages and...
متن کاملConsiderations in Art E-therapy for Anxiety Disorders
Brief and online versions of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)—the favored treatment for severe anxiety disorders—have answered critiques that traditional CBT is too inaccessible and unaffordable. The integration of art into CBT protocols may address further critiques that the concepts of CBT can be too abstract and verbal by adding tangible components.
