Is YouTube and Stroke a Bad Liaison? (P5.141)
CONCLUSIONS: YouTube provides a good and reliable source to learn the signs and symptoms of stroke but it features insufficient information about the use of IV-rtPA, risk factors, and prevention.

An Unusual Cause Of Recurrent Ischemic Stroke: Trousseau's Syndrome From Gastric Cancer (P4.231)
CONCLUSIONS: Trousseau’s Syndrome must be considered in those presenting with recurrent strokes with an otherwise negative embolic work up especially in the elderly and those with cancer risk factors. It must prompt the clinician to look for an associated malignancy.Disclosure: Dr. JADEJA has nothing to disclose. Dr. Johnson has nothing to disclose. Dr. Soetanto has nothing to disclose.

Post-Surgical Cognitive Outcomes (S62.001)
CONCLUSIONS:Patients who undergo AVR demonstrate persistent cognitive decline characterized by diminished learning on tests of memory and language and related to perioperative clinical stroke. These findings underscore the importance of ischemic neurologic complications of surgery and the need for improved stroke prevention and treatment strategies.Study Supported by: R01HL084375 to T.F.F.Disclosure: Dr. Giovannetti has nothing to disclose.

Simulation-Based Medical Education in Acute Neurologic Emergencies (P1.059)
Conclusions:Our data confirms the utility of SBME in acute neurologic disorders to improve resident confidence, clinical knowledge, teamwork, and communication skills. This experience allows us to improve future simulations by focusing on updated guidelines and a detailed analysis of resident performance.Disclosure: Dr. Ansari has nothing to disclose.

High-Fidelity Simulation Versus Traditional Didactic Techniques for Teaching Neurological Emergencies to Neurology Residents: A Feasibility Study. (P1.323)
CONCLUSIONS: Simulation based learning offers promise as a tool for objectively assessing some of the ACGME competencies that are more difficult to evaluate via traditional means. Studies with larger N and longer follow-up are needed to assess the efficacy, learner-retention and satisfaction rates among groups.Study supported by AAN education grant 2013.Disclosure: Dr. Agarwal has nothing to disclose.

Aphemia: A rare presentation of an acute infarct (P3.277)
Conclusions:Aphemia, or apraxia of speech, is a rare presentation of dominant inferior frontal gyrus infarction. Aphemia is primarily a disorder of articulation, whereas aphasia is a disorder of language. This patient lost her ability to produce speech but was able to comprehend and write fluently. Her deficit did not fit a classic aphasia pattern but rather represented an inability to voluntarily control her oral muscles, resulting in a transient apraxia of the muscles of articulation, chewing, and deglutition. Very few cases of acute aphemia due to stroke are described, all localized to the dominant inferior frontal gyru...

Prognostic Risk Profiles for Dementia: A Machine Learning Approach (P1.091)
Conclusions: These results suggest that vascular factors may play a greater role in dementia pathogenesis than currently thought. Furthermore, using this method we were able to achieve prediction accuracies that compare favorably with the existing literature.Disclosure: Dr. Morgenstern has nothing to disclose.

The Utility of Factor VIII Infusion in a Rare Case of SHAM Syndrome (P4.343)
Conclusions: Genetic testing confirmed the presence of SHAM syndrome with an 83 kb deletion involving both F8 and BRCC3 genes responsible for severe hemophilia and Moyamoya disease respectively. This case illustrates the first phenotypically and genetically confirmed adult case of SHAM syndrome with intracerebral hemorrhage and highlights the utility/safety of factor VIII infusion in this case.Disclosure: Dr. Roh has nothing to disclose.
