"Novel Brain Ischemic Change on MRI" by Fujioka et al (Stroke. 1999;30:1043–1046), in the "Materials and Methods" section, line 3 under "Surgical Procedure," should read as printed below. The publisher regrets the error.

Surgical Procedure The right MCA of the rat was occluded, as previously described by a coauthor of this study.5,6 Briefly, rats were anesthetized with a gas mixture of 98% air and 2% halothane. |
In Table 1 of "Replicability of SF-36 Summary Scores by the SF-12 in Stroke Patients," by Pickard et al (Stroke. 1999;30:1213–1217), the following error in data has been acknowledged by the authors.
The beta intercepts in Table 1 are incorrect. The MCS Beta Intercepts (95% CI) for each model (column 6) should read: Combined 0.4 (-1.7, 2.6), Self-Report 1.5 (-1.7, 4.7), Proxy -0.4 (-3.7, 2.9). The PCS Beta Intercepts (95% CI) for each model (column 11) should read: Combined -3.0 (-5.0, -1.0), Self-Report -1.5 (-4.2, 1.2), Proxy -4.8 (-7.5, -2.1).
The fundamental conclusions do not change. However, the authors would like to retract the following statements made in the paper:
"The intercept of the simple regression model for proxy respondents in Table 1 would also seem to indicate that the scaling of MCS-12 scores is not equivalent to the MCS-36 scores."
"There was no significant deviation from 0 for the intercepts on any of the regression models for PCS scores."
