But, he added, the new metaanalysis and its focus on the rate of 30-day death or stroke is useful for helping patients select the type of carotid intervention they'd prefer.
These studies involved a total of 1,269 patients, and a metaanalysis of the five, published about a year ago, showed that the incidence of any stroke or death during the first 30 days of postprocedural follow-up was 33% higher in patients treated with stenting, compared with those who had endarterectomy (Stroke 2005;36:905-11).
When the results of both the SPACE and EVA-3S trials were added to the previous metaanalysis results, overall numbers showed an 8.2% periprocedural death or stroke rate among 1,492 patients treated with stenting, and a 5.9% rate among 1,480 patients treated with endarterectomy, a statistically significant difference.

  Medical uses of herbs.
The controlled studies of St.-John's-wort efficacy in depression included in the metaanalysis were randomized, or "quasi-randomized" through alternation, comparisons of the herb alone or in combination with other plant extracts to placebo and/or a standard antidepressant.
The metaanalysis report did not indicate whether the studies involving standard antidepressants had been screened for adequacy of antidepressant dose.
In separate commentary accompanying the metaanalysis, Netherlands clinicians Peter de Smet and Willen Nolen agreed that the data are promising, but not yet sufficient to accept St.-John's-wort as an effective antidepressant preparation (de Smet and Nolen 1996).
