Is Achondroplasia Linked to Stroke? (P6.265)
CONCLUSIONS:This case shows an interesting correlation between achondroplasia and carney complex related myxomas that has not been described in literature before. Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant mutation in FGFR3 gene on chromosome 4P. Mutaions in carney complex are also described to be autosomal dominant mostly involving chromosome 17q23-q24 . There has been no clear pathogenesis described pertaining this correlation yet but more genetics have to be explored.Study Supported by:Disclosure: Dr. Kaur has nothing to disclose. Dr. Mittal has nothing to disclose. Dr. Hosley has nothing to disclose.

Thrombolytic Outcomes for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Primary Brain Tumors in the United States (P4.220)
Conclusions: Thrombolytic therapy is an independent predictor of ICH in patients with primary brain tumors. Thrombolysis outcomes are less favorable in malignant brain tumors compared to benign tumors.Disclosure: Dr. Murthy has nothing to disclose. Dr. Moradiya has nothing to disclose.

Sudden unexpected death in schizophrenia: Autopsy findings in psychiatric inpatients
In conclusion, sudden cardiac death occurs at a 0.8% rate in a psychiatric hospital, well above general population rates. Autopsy findings indicate that sudden death in schizophrenia is caused by structural cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological abnormalities, with most cases due to acute myocardial infarction. Early recognition and treatment of coronary artery disease must become a clinical priority for all adults with schizophrenia.

Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death and Brain Surgery review
Patients see neurosurgeons as gods, but what is the reality? Henry Marsh has written a memoir of startling candourWe go to doctors for help and healing; we don't expect them to make us worse. Most people know the aphorism taught to medical students, attributed to the ancient Greek Hippocrates but timeless in its quiet sanity: "First, do no harm." But many medical treatments do cause harm: learning how to navigate the risks of drug therapies, as well as the catastrophic consequences of botched or inadvised surgical operations, is a big part of why training doctors takes so long. Even the simplest of therapies carries the ri...

Rosuvastatin Ameliorates Early Brain Injury after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage via Suppression of Superoxide Formation and Nuclear Factor-Kappa B Activation in Rats
Conclusions: The present study demonstrates that rosuvastatin pretreatment ameliorates EBI after SAH through the attenuation of oxidative stress and NF-κB–mediated inflammation.

Deferoxamine Attenuates White Matter Injury in a Piglet Intracerebral Hemorrhage Model Brief Reports
Conclusions— Deferoxamine reduces white matter edema, tumor necrosis factor α, and receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 levels after ICH in piglets, suggesting deferoxamine is a potential effective therapeutic agent for patients with ICH.

Malignant Paraganglioma Presenting With Hemorrhagic Stroke in a Child
We report here the case of a 12-year-old boy with malignant sympathetic paraganglioma presenting with hemorrhagic stroke. Severe hypertension was found and the patient evolved into a coma. Brain computed tomography scan showed right thalamus hemorrhage with intraventricular extension. After clinical improvement, further investigation revealed elevated catecholamine and metanephrine levels, and 2 abdominal tumors were identified by computed tomography. Resection of both lesions was performed, and histologic findings were consistent with paraganglioma. Multiple metastatic involvement of bones and soft tissues appeared severa...

Clinical application of perfusion computed tomography in neurosurgery.
Conclusions Perfusion CT provides quantitative and qualitative data that can add diagnostic and prognostic value in a number of neurosurgical disorders, and also help with clinical decision making. With emerging new technical developments in PCT, such as characterization of blood-brain barrier permeability and whole-brain PCT, this technique is expected to provide more and more insight into the pathophysiology of many neurosurgical conditions.

Candesartan Reduces the Hemorrhage Associated with Delayed Tissue Plasminogen Activator Treatment in Rat Embolic Stroke.
Abstract We have previously reported that angiotensin receptor blockade reduces reperfusion hemorrhage in a suture occlusion model of stroke, despite increasing matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-9) activity. We hypothesized that candesartan will also decrease hemorrhage associated with delayed (6 h) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) administration after embolic stroke, widening the therapeutic time window of tPA. Adult male Wistar rats were subjected to embolic middle cerebral artery occlusion (eMCAO) and treated with either candesartan (1 mg/kg) alone early at 3 h, delayed tPA (10 mg/kg) alone at 6 h, the combi...

Potential Misdiagnoses of Bell's Palsy in the Emergency Department
Conclusion: Emergency providers have a very low rate of misdiagnosing Bell's palsy. The association between imaging use and misdiagnosis is likely confounded by patient acuity. Increasing age and diabetes are modest risk factors for misdiagnosis.

Thrombolysis for Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Brain Tumors
Conclusions: In summary, very limited data exist about thrombolysis in patients with brain tumors. Differentiation of tumor by additional neuroimaging before thrombolysis in ischemic stroke is recommended as thrombolysis might be considered in extra-axial benign appearing neoplasms (eg, meningioma) but is not advisable in intra-axial primary or metastatic neoplasm. Further reporting of thrombolysis in patients with brain tumors is recommended.
