Is it safe to drive after acute mild stroke?
Results suggest that patients with acute mild ischemic stroke may be able to maintain driving performance during basic tasks (e.g., straight driving, right turns) and that deficits may become apparent during more complex tasks (e.g., left turns with traffic, bus following). The results highlight the importance of healthcare professionals providing driving advice to their patients post-stroke, particularly in the acute phase of injury.
We conclude that inhibition of TLR4 with eritoran in an in situ murine model significantly reduces MI/R injury and markers of an inflammatory response.
