    • Dysphagia screening and risks of pneumonia and adverse outcomes after acute stroke: An international ... 
      Ouyang, Menglu; Boaden, Elizabeth; Arima, Hisatomi; Lavados Germain, Pablo Manuel; Billot, Laurent; Hackett, Maree L.; Olavarría, Verónica V.; Muñoz Venturelli, Paula; Song, Lili; Rogers, Kris; Middleton, Sandy; Pontes Neto, Octavio M.; Lee, Tsong Hai; Watkins, Caroline; Robinson, Thompson; Anderson, Craig S. (SAGE, 2019)
      Background: Dysphagia is associated with aspiration pneumonia after stroke. Data are limited on the influences of dysphagia screen and assessment in clinical practice. Aims: To determine associations between a “brief” ...
    • Flat-head positioning increases cerebral blood flow in anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke. A cluster ... 
      Olavarría, Verónica V.; Lavados Germain, Pablo Manuel; Munoz Venturelli, Paula; González, Francisca; Gaete, Javier; Martins, Sheila; Arima, Hisatomi; Anderson, Craig S.; Brunser, Alejandro M. (Sage, 2018)
      Background: Whether lying-flat improves blood flow in patients with acute ischemic stroke is unknown. Our aim was to investigate if lying-flat ‘‘changes’’ cerebral blood flow velocities assessed by transcranial Doppler ...
    • Head position and cerebral blood flow in acute ischemic stroke patients: Protocol for the pilot phase, ... 
      Brunser, Alejandro M.; Muñoz Venturelli, Paula; Lavados Germain, Pablo Manuel; Gaete, Javier; Martins, Sheila; Arima, Hisatomi; Anderson, Craig S.; Olavarría, Verónica V. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)
      Rationale: Few proven interventions exist for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and most are expensive and restricted in applicability. Lying flat ‘head down’ positioning of AIS patients has been shown to increase by as much ...
    • Head Position in Stroke Trial (HeadPoST) - sitting-up vs lying-flat positioning of patients with acute ... 
      Muñoz Venturelli, Paula; Arima, Hisatomi; Lavados Germain, Pablo Manuel; Brunser, Alejandro; Peng, Bin; Cui, Liying; Song, Lily; Billot, Laurent; Boaden, Elizabeth; Hackett, Maree L.; Heritier, Stephane; Jan, Stephen; Middleton, Sandy; Olavarría, Verónica V.; Lim, Joyce Y.; Lindley, Richard I.; Heeley, Emma; Robinson, Thompson; Pontes Neto, Octavio; Natsagdorj, Lkhamtsoo; Lin, Ruey-Tay; Watkins, Caroline; Anderson, Craig S. (BioMed Central, 2015)
      Background: Positioning a patient lying-flat in the acute phase of ischaemic stroke may improve recovery and reduce disability, but such a possibility has not been formally tested in a randomised trial. We therefore initiated ...
    • Influence of renal impairment on outcome for thrombolysis-treated acute ischemic stroke ENCHANTED (Enhanced ... 
      Carr, Susan J.; Wang, Xia; Olavarría, Verónica V.; Lavados Germain, Pablo Manuel; Rodríguez, Jorge A.; Kim, Jong S.; Lee, Tsong-Hai; Lindley, Richard I.; Pontes Neto, Octavio M.; Ricci, Stefano; Sato, Shoichiro; Sharma, Vijay K.; Woodward, Mark; Chalmers, John; Anderson, Craig S.; Robinson, Thompson G. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2017)
      Background and Purpose-Renal dysfunction (RD) is associated with poor prognosis after stroke. We assessed the effects of RD on outcomes and interaction with low- versus standard-dose alteplase in a post hoc subgroup analysis ...
    • Lipid-Lowering pretreatment and outcome following intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischaemic stroke: A ... 
      Minhas, Jatinder S.; Wang, Xia; Arima, Hisatomi; Bath, Philip M.; Billot, Laurent; Broderick, Joseph P.; Donnan, Geoffrey A.; Kim, Jong S.; Lavados Germain, Pablo Manuel; Lee, Tsong-Hai; Martins, Sheila Cristina Ouriques; Olavarría, Verónica V.; Pandian, Jeyaraj D.; Pontes Neto, Octavio Marques; Ricci, Stefano; Sato, Shoichiro; Sharma, Vijay K.; Thang, Nguyen H.; Wang, Ji-Guang; Woodward, Mark; Chalmers, John; Anderson, Craig S.; Robinson, Thompson G. (Karger, 2018)
      Background: Debate exists as to whether statin pretreatment confers an increased risk of 90-day mortality and symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage (sICH) in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients treated with intravenous ...
