Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Is Associated With Circadian and Other Variability in Embolus Detection
Conclusions: Embolism associated with asymptomatic carotid stenosis shows circadian variation with highest rates 4–6 h before midday. This corresponds with peak circadian incidence of stroke and other vascular complications. These and ASED Study results show that monitoring frequency, duration, and time of day are important in ES detection. Introduction Transcranial Doppler (TCD) detected microembolism in the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) may help stratify the risk of stroke and other arterial disease complications in persons with advanced (≥60%) asymptomatic carotid stenosis. If so, this t...

Crossed Subcortical Aphasia (P1.048)
CONCLUSIONS: This patient is a rare case in which right-sided subcortical damage results in aphasia. The most comprehensive evidence on language lateralization comes from functional studies of healthy adults that differ in their degree of handedness. It appears that the degree of right-handedness correlates, with the degree of left hemisphere language dominance.Disclosure: Dr. Murray has nothing to disclose. Dr. Kase has nothing to disclose.
