Abstract 272: Preliminary Data from RESOLVE (Rapid Evaluation for Stroke Outcomes using Lytics in Vascular Events) Study Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: Preliminary findings showed that less than half of the patients and CG felt the education was clear. However additional interviews are planned. Preliminary insights suggest an opportunity to use an individualized risk and benefit decision tool to inform and engage patients and CG regarding treatment decisions. We believe this can be accomplished without increasing the door to needle time in administration of rt-PA.

Duration of residence and disease occurrence among refugees and family reunited immigrants: test of the ‘healthy migrant effect’ hypothesis
ConclusionOur analyses of the effect of duration of residence on disease occurrence among migrants imply that, when explaining migrants' advantageous health outcomes, the ruling theory of the HME should be used with caution, and other explanatory models should be included.

Use of floss/interdental brushes is associated with lower risk for new cardiovascular events among patients with coronary heart disease
ConclusionsThese findings suggest that flossing and brushing of interdental spaces might reduce the risk for new cardiovascular events among patients with CHD. The hypothesis that interdental cleaning per se reduces the risk of new cardiovascular events should be examined in an interventional study.

Effect of muscle metaboreflex activation on central hemodynamics and cardiac function in humans
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Volume 0, Issue 0, Page 1-10, e-First articles.
We sought to determine how the mode of muscle metaboreflex activation influences the central hemodynamic response and cardiac inotropic and lusotropic function in healthy humans. Ten healthy males performed (i) isometric handgrip (IHG) with and without post-exercise ischemia (PEI) to examine the influence of isolated muscle metaboreflex activation and (ii) rhythmic handgrip (RHG) with and without ischemia to examine the influence of enhanced muscle metaboreflex activation. Heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) were contin...

Stroke in Children with Human Immunodeficiency Virus in Botswana: A Report of Six Cases (P4.303)
CONCLUSIONS: The risk of stroke appears to be increased in children with HIV, though further controlled studies are necessary to further investigate this. Etiologies for stroke in children with HIV includes HIV vasculopathy, HIV cardiomyopathy, and opportunistic infections. Evaluation should include head imaging with vascular imaging, MRI with MRA if possible, and CT. The utility of lumbar puncture and hypercoaguability workup in this population needs to be investigated further. Given the difficulties of monitoring anticoagulation in this setting, low dose aspirin is a reasonable first line treatment.Disclosure: Dr. Khuran...
