In-stent restenosis (ISR) after angioplasty/stenting for intracranial stenosis has been reported in up to 25% to 30% of patients. Detection and monitoring of ISR relies primarily on serial catheter angiography, because noninvasive imaging methods are typically hampered by stent-related artifact. We examined the value of serial vessel flow measurements using quantitative magnetic resonance angiography (QMRA) in detection of ISR. Material and

    We evaluated the efficacy and safety of methylprednisolone and naloxone in a multicenter randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in patients with acute spinal-cord injury, 95 percent of whom were treated within 14 hours of injury. Methylprednisolone was given to 162 patients as a bolus of...

    Although some evidence of neurological improvement with naloxone exists in this trial, the improvement was never significantly better than that seen for placebo. Methylprednisolone (MP) was effective in reducing some of the permanent paralysis after acute spinal cord injury at the doses studied, but...
