A secondary analysis of the TEMPO-2 RCT found no significant improvement in outcomes for minor ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous tenecteplase, regardless of the presence of disabling deficits.

TBI and PTSD are associated with worse cognitive function compared to TBI alone. Thanks for the mentorship, @ASchneiderMDPhD ! And for the support from #TRACKTBI! #BMJMentalHealth @PennMedLCNS

When traditional meets modern: Combining East Asian medicine with standard stroke care was linked to lower recovery odds. Integration does not always mean improvement. https://t.co/iw2vqv0xp6

⚖️ Comparison of standard stroke medical treatment +/- Cerebrolysin

Cerebrolysin treatment was associated with:
⬆️ Improved functional recovery at day 90
📈 Improved MoCA score at day 90

1/ The Take Charge intervention — a conversation-based program to boost motivation and recovery after #stroke — showed sustained benefits 5–6 years after stroke in the TaCAS trial.

I received a Notice of Intent to Award my CDA from the VA! I am so grateful to my mentors who were also cheerleaders during this long process, proud of this immense accomplishment and excited for the work ahead to improve the quality of life for Veterans with TBI and PTSD.

🧵Simultaneous publication at #WSC2025 🟢🔵The BIORISK ICAS study found that biomarkers of impaired distal perfusion — specifically borderzone infarcts and hypoperfusion mismatch — are linked to a higher risk of 90-day recurrent ischemic #stroke in patients with symptomatic ICAS.

Promising results for neuromodulation and post-stroke cognitive impairment!

[Jianxun Ren @DavidRen555]

Our latest RCT on iTBS for post-stroke cognitive impairment is out in @brainstimj. High-dose iTBS (3600 pulses/day) targeting the personalized frontoparietal cognitive network is safe and more effective than lower-dose (1200 pulses/day) and sham.

We mapped the subcortical hubs of brain networks that sustain consciousness to provide therapeutic targets for patients with severe brain injuries.

In this study, Roth et al. examined the relationship between post-stroke aphasia severity, cognition, and white matter integrity in 87 chronic stroke survivors. Find the full paper here: https://t.co/WPgXBjcHm4

Loneliness has been associated with adverse clinical outcomes. A new @uk_biobank report, using Mendelian randomazation, shows most of this is not causal but attributable to co-morbidities and other risk factors.
