The official journal of the International Stroke Society

International Journal of Stroke is a welcome addition to the international
stroke journal landscape in that it will concentrate on the clinical aspects
of stroke with basic science contributions in areas of clinical interest.

To complement the original articles that relate to all areas of stroke there
will be items of news interest from all parts of the world. Reviews of
current topics will be broadly based to encompass not only recent advances
of global interest but also those which may be more important in certain
regions.

To facilitate the international nature of the journal, our Associate Editors
from Europe, Asia, North America and South America will coordinate segments
of the journal.  

Some of these segments will include:

* Original Contributions: original contributions from clinical or basic
science researhcers will be considered which are relevant to professionals
working in the field of stroke
* News from the Regions:  Reports on meetings, new trials, significant
awards and appointments and news from regional stroke societies.
* World Press Reports:  The response of the world press to new developments
in stroke.  This will be also from all regions of the globe.
* Leading Opinions:  Rapid and fairly concise responses by world opinion
leaders to recent developments in stroke in various parts of the world.
* Topical Reviews:  Fuller overviews of recent developments in stroke by
leaders in their field.

Some of the topical areas which will be covered in reviews and leading
opinions particularly are:

* Therapies for intracerebral haemorrhage: new vistas
* Angioplasty and Stenting: coming ready or not?
* The genetics of stroke: where are we up to?
* Ultrasound and thrombolysis:  Clotbust: where to next?
