Incidence and prevalence of treated epilepsy among poor health and low-income Americans
Conclusions: The Medicaid population has a high incidence and prevalence of epilepsy, in an order of magnitude greater than that reported in the US general population. This indigent population carries a disproportionate amount of the epilepsy burden and deserves more attention for its health care needs and support services.

A Case Report of Dihydroergotamine Administration for Status Migrainosus in a Patient on Longstanding Citalopram Causing a Fatal Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome (RCVS) (P02.027)
CONCLUSIONS: We report this case report of fatal RCVS of a patient on long standing citalopram who developed this after being administered Dihydroergotamine for status migrainosus. As this is thought to be a self-limiting in terms of clinical features. However, some patients may have more severe focal neurologic symptoms and signs, including ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes as described in our patient.Disclosure: Dr. Asi has nothing to disclose.

Poststroke spasticity: Treating to the disability
People who have strokes are subject to numerous potentially devastating sequelae, most often sensorimotor paresis, impairment of cognition and language, and other functional disabilities, including depression and dementia. Of these sequelae, spasticity occurring with motor dysfunction is a frequent finding that has to be evaluated in light of other diagnoses, such as central paresis, ataxia, pathologic stance or gait, and other coordination dysfunctions. Often, spasticity is not notably present in acute ischemic strokes but develops later on, and may then become a major obstacle for achieving independence in performance of...

The interaction between neuropsychological and motor deficits in patients after stroke
Stroke survivors typically experience varying degrees of motor and neuropsychological deficits. Although these deficits are frequently treated as separate entities in the cognitive and physical rehabilitation settings, there is considerable interaction between them. Cognitive-motor interference, for example, refers to the simultaneous performance of cognitive and motor functions that results in diminished execution of one or both of the tasks. Studies have demonstrated that when performing dual tasks, poststroke patients will typically favor the cognitive function over the motor task. Furthermore, only certain cognitive fu...
