The approval of thrombolytic therapy for acute stroke represents a revolution in the approach to treatment of acute stroke. For the first time there is a clinically proven therapy to improve outcome of acute ischemic stroke and this therapy is likely to be a harbinger of an entirely new era of acute therapies. The management of stroke now requires a rapid response involving a multi-disciplinary team approach. The formation of Acute Stroke Intervention Teams and designated treatment centers will ensure that rapid, carefully administered acute stroke therapy is available to all eligible patients. The PCP has the invaluable role of not only promoting preventive care for cerebrovascular disease but also of educating patients on how to recognize the symptoms of stroke and providing guidance in obtaining appropriate acute therapies for stroke.

The dramatic increase in the number of women in medicine presents some new challenges to an old institution. This article provides an overview of current trends and future directions as greater numbers of women are entering medicine. The first section describes women's particular approach to medicine, including their motivations for pursuing medicine as a career, their specialty choices and practice patterns, their attitudes about patient care and doctor-patient relationships, and their advocacy for women's health issues. The second section documents women's negative experiences in medicine, such as higher stress levels than men, gender discrimination, sexual harassment, role strain, and a paucity of mentors and role models. In the final section, the authors suggest how medicine as an institution can change to better accommodate women.

The determination that a patient has suffered a stroke is readily based on the clinical criteria along with the additional ancillary procedures discussed. The diagnosis is not complete, however, until the etiology has been found, for only then can rational therapy proceed.
