Ultrasound tests are used in the cerebrovascular evaluation of stroke patients. However, the use of Transcranial Doppler (TCD) and carotid duplex ultrasound (CD) within the first hours after stroke onset in the Emergency Service is not a common practice. ⋯ TCD and CD are excellent diagnostic tools that might be used in all acute stroke patients for immediate evaluation of arterial patency. They make it possible to select treatment and enhance reperfusion after tPA. Carotid and transcranial ultrasound are an essential part of vascular neurology training and practice.

There is an on-going debate on questions of authorship in the scientific publications. Adherence to the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) recommendations for medical journals is low, which should be cause for reflection. ⋯ Authorship criteria for our journal include demonstration of their relevance in the development of the research and manuscript as well as the responsibility in it. This line is not as restrictive as that of the ICMJE criteria, whose recommendations may not be easy to adapt to the current organization of the multidisciplinary research groups.
