Thrombectomy Benefits Stroke With Large Core Volumes: SELECT

-

 Performing endovascular thrombectomy in patients with an ischemic stroke having a large ischemic core has been found to be beneficial in a major international trial, which is expected to lead to a change in clinical practice and the way in which systems of stroke care are organized.

The results of the SELECT2 trial, which was conducted in sites in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, showed that endovascular thrombectomy plus medical care resulted in better clinical outcomes than medical care alone in patients with a large ischemic core who presented within 24 hours after the time they were last known to be well.

  Actor Bernard Hill, best known for roles in Titanic and Lord of the Rings, has died aged 79. He played Captain Edward Smith in the 1997 Oscar-winning film and King Théoden in the Lord of the Rings. His breakout role was in 1982 BBC TV drama Boys from the Blackstuff, where he portrayed Yosser Hughes, a character who struggled - and often failed - to cope with unemployment in Liverpool. He died early on Sunday morning, his agent Lou Coulson confirmed. Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd, the actors who played the hobbits Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, paid tribute to their co-star at Comic Con in Liverpool. Astin began by saying: "We love him. He was intrepid, he was funny, he was gruff, he was irascible, he was beautiful." Boyd recounted watching the trilogy with Monaghan, saying: "I don't think anyone spoke Tolkien's words as great as Bernard did. He would break my heart. He will be solely missed." Alan
