Multicenter Study
Relationship between cooling time and neurological outcomes in targeted temperature management.
The relationship between cooling time (CT) variables and neurological outcomes is controversial. We evaluated the relationship between CT and neurological outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients treated with targeted temperature management (TTM). ⋯ We did not find a relationship between CT and neurological outcomes at 6 months.

Review Meta Analysis
Benefits and safety of transdermal glyceryl trinitrate in acute stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials.
Transdermal glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) has potential beneficial properties in acute stroke including intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and possible clinical benefits suggested in ultra-early stroke (≤6 h). Our meta-analysis updated the evidence on its safety and benefits in acute stroke. ⋯ Transdermal GTN reduces BP in acute stroke but does not alter clinical outcomes even in ultra-early stroke (≤6 h).
