Amol, general internal resident at the University of Toronto, and Raed Joundi, neurology resident at the University of Toronto, discuss 2 recent studies:

Is early mobilization helpful for stroke patients? A randomized control trial showed that early aggressive rehabilitation for acute stroke patients resulted in worse outcomes. Amol and Raed speculate reasons behind this counter-intuitive finding.

A study that analyzed administrative data from insurance claims in Korea found that patients who received both anti-depressants and anti-inflammatory medications have an increased risk for intracranial hemorrhage. Should drug interaction results from massive registries be used to dictate prescribing practices?
