Drs. Hirsch, Meyers and Jayaraman discuss the evolving and at times complex role of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) in contemporary neurointerventional practice. The discussants contrast EBM with Comparative Effectiveness Research and the role it plays in coverage decisions.The podcast directly links to the following articles: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24578482?dopt=AbstractGeneral considerations:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22166819http://jnis.bmj.com/content/4/1/11.longWhy standards:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21994097http://jnis.bmj.com/content/1/1/5.long

The difference in the relationship between the size of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) and their risk of rupture in patients with singe IAs versus those with multiple IAs is unclear. A recent JNIS paper retrospectively analysed the size of ruptured IAs (RIAs) in patients with single and multiple IAs, in order to study this relationship further. JNIS editor Rob Tarr spoke to author Bharathi Jagadeesan, Department of Radiology, University of Minnesota, about the outcome.Read the paper here: http://goo.gl/EKHMyf

The efficacy of hypothermia as a neuroprotectant has yet to be demonstrated in acute ischemic stroke. Researchers at Emory University School of Medicine conducted a phase I pilot study to assess the feasibility and safety of performing intravascular hypothermia after definitive intra-arterial reperfusion therapy (IAT), and in this podcast co-author Rishi Gupta tells Rob Tarr what they found.Read the full paper:Endovascular Reperfusion and Cooling in Cerebral Acute Ischemia (ReCCLAIM I) http://goo.gl/yiNQKk
