    The optimal timing of DOAC initiation after ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) was unclear until the arrival of the TIMING, ELAN, and OPTIMAS trials. These revealed that early vs. late DOAC initiation showed similar rates of efficacy and safety. It remains unclear if prior reperfusion therapy modifies the treatment effect of early vs. late DOAC initiation on outcomes in these patients. Previous non-randomized controlled trials suggested that early initiation of DOACs after acute

    Schiphorst et al. explored the effectiveness of helicopter versus ground transport in achieving recanalization and improving outcomes for patients with anterior large vessel occlusions, with the hypothesis that vibrations involved in helicopter transport contribute to enhancing the effectiveness of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). This hypothesis is primarily derived from in vitro and subsequent animal studies suggesting that low-frequency vibration s facilitate clot dissolution in a heparinized solution.
