• Patients with mild stroke/transient ischaemic attack (TIA) are at high risk of recurrent events. • The Assessment of Real-world Evidence in Stroke/TIA (ARES) programme aims to characterize the management and outcomes of patients with mild stroke/TIA in real-world clinical practice in multiple countries around the world. • Development of the ARES programme requires identification of suitable d...

A case of transient ischaemic attack lasting 6 h occurred after spinal anaesthesia with bupivacaine. The level of sensory block was satisfactory and there was no significant hypotension. We discuss the possible cause of this previously undescribed complication.

Background: The role of nitric oxide (NO) of endothelial or neuronal origins in cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injuries are far from being settled, extending from being important to not having any role at all.  Objective: To investigate the role of NO of endothelial and neuronal origins in ischemia/reperfusion injuries in focal cerebral ischemia, L-NAME, a non selective NO synthase inhibitor...
