genotype, hypertension severity and outcomes after intracerebral haemorrhage.

Intracerebral haemorrhage in the elderly is a severe manifestation of common forms of cerebral small vessel disease. Nearly 60% of intracerebral haemorrhage survivors will develop clinical manifestations of small vessel disease progression including recurrent haemorrhage, ischaemic stroke, dementia, late-life depression and gait impairment within 5 years. Blood pressure measurements following intracerebral haemorrhage are strongly associated with this risk.

Cardioembolic Stroke Risk and Recovery After Anticoagulation-Related Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

Background and Purpose- Whether to resume oral anticoagulation treatment after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains an unresolved question. Previous studies focused primarily on recurrent stroke after ICH. We sought to investigate the association between cardioembolic stroke risk, oral anticoagulation therapy resumption, and functional recovery among ICH survivors in the absence of recurrent stroke.

Reflecting on explanatory ability: A mechanism for detecting gaps in causal knowledge.

People frequently overestimate their understanding-with a particularly large blind-spot for gaps in their causal knowledge. We introduce a metacognitive approach to reducing overestimation, termed reflecting on explanatory ability (REA), which is briefly thinking about how well one could explain something in a mechanistic, step-by-step, causally connected manner. Nine experiments demonstrated that engaging in REA just before estimating one's understanding substantially reduced overestimation.
