Redefining acute ischaemic stroke care: Advances in thrombolytics, neuroimaging and triage

21 Jan 2026 by

Recent advancements are revolutionizing acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) management. In an expert meeting, Professor Keith Muir, SINAPSE Professor of Clinical Imaging & Consultant Neurologist from the University of Glasgow, UK, alongside a panel of local neurologists, discussed innovative approaches to thrombolysis in complex AIS cases. The panel examined how different neuroimaging modalities and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies can aid diagnosis and expand the safe use of thrombolytics. They also explored recent revolutions, successes and challenges of stroke triage networks in Hong Kong and Scotland.

Transforming ischaemic stroke care: Integrated networks, thrombolysis optimization and AI-assisted hyperacute care

13 Jan 2026 by

Acute ischaemic stroke remains a time-critical medical emergency in which rapid diagnosis, efficient prehospital triage, and timely reperfusion therapy are central to reducing mortality and long-term disability. At the Hong Kong Stroke Society Annual Scientific Meeting 2025, Dr David Hargroves of the East Kent Hospitals University Foundation Trust, UK, outlined England’s 7-year, system-wide quality improvement programme in acute stroke care, delivered through the Getting It Right the First Time (GIRFT) initiative.

Tai chi noninferior to CBT-I for long-term management of insomnia

12 Jan 2026 by

Tai chi practice is noninferior to cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in sustaining beneficial improvements at month 15 among middle-aged and older adults with chronic insomnia, researchers from the School of Public Health at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) found.

Sooner is better when initiating DAPT after minor stroke or high-risk TIA

12 Jan 2026

Initiating dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) within 24 h of onset of a minor ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) yields the greatest clinical benefit, with the therapeutic effect declining progressively beyond this period, as shown in a study.
