Characteristics of Accredited Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound Laboratories in the United States
CONCLUSIONSThe results suggest that there are significant differences between IAC applicant laboratories and laboratories represented by Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) claims data. In addition, accurate study reporting, physician training, and ongoing quality improvement activities may not be optimized in laboratories applying for accreditation. With the information learned from this study, educational strategies by professional organizations, including the IAC, can be tailored to help improve TCD practice.

Development and Validation of an Automatic Segmentation Algorithm for Quantification of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Clinical Sciences
Background and Purpose—ABC/2 is still widely accepted for volume estimations in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) despite known limitations, which potentially accounts for controversial outcome-study results. The aim of this study was to establish and validate an automatic segmentation algorithm, allowing for quick and accurate quantification of ICH.Methods—A segmentation algorithm implementing first- and second-order statistics, texture, and threshold features was trained on manual segmentations with a random-forest methodology. Quantitative data of the algorithm, manual segmentations, and ABC/2 were evaluate...

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage prognostic decision-making algorithm using classification and regression tree analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: A clinically useful classification tree was generated, which serves as a prediction tool to guide bedside prognostication and clinical treatment decision making. This prognostic decision-making algorithm also shed light on the complex interactions between a number of risk factors in determining outcome after aneurysmal SAH. PMID: 27512607 [PubMed]

Nico touts studies using BrainPath to treat hemorrhagic stroke
Nico Corp today released data from 2 recently published studies which utilized its BrainPath Approach to treat hemorrhagic stroke, touting a 95% clot reduction and no mortalities associated with the device. The BrainPath system uses a shunt and specially designed instrumentation to give surgeons access to the subcortical section of the brain. The device won 510(k) clearance from the FDA last June for treating primary and secondary brain tumors, vascular abnormalities, intraventricular tumors or cysts. Data from the studies was published in the journals Neurosurgery and Operative Neurosurgery, the Indianapolis-based c...

Needs of Internally Displaced Women and Children in Baghdad, Karbala, and Kirkuk, Iraq
Conclusions The vulnerability of this population is great, and the emotional trauma of multiple displacements, kidnapping and deaths from intentional violence is great. While some aid is reaching families, much more is needed. Though Iraq is a middle income country, reaching the IDPs in central Iraq will take much more in international assistance than is currently being received. Unfortunately, at this time of great need, assistance is being cut back throughout the region because of lack of funding.10 The local civil society organizations which have sprung up in many locations to assist IDPs, offer an avenue for targeting ...

Motor Skills Training Improves Sensorimotor Dysfunction and Increases Microtubule-Associated Protein 2 mRNA Expression in Rats with Intracerebral Hemorrhage
In this study, we examined the effects of motor skills training on the sensorimotor function and the expression of genes associated with synaptic plasticity after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats.

Simulation Training in Early Emergency Response (STEER).
This study aimed to test a simulation curriculum based on institutional priorities using high-intensity, short-duration, frequent in situ content delivery based on deliberate practice. The study design was a prospective, single-center, mixed-methods quasi-experimental study. Scenarios used in this study were ventricular fibrillation, opiate-related respiratory depression, syncopal fall, and hemorrhagic stroke. The convenience sample included 41 teams (147 participants). Improvements were noted in initiating chest compressions (p = .018), time to check blood glucose (p = .046), and identification of heparin as a contributor...

Results of Systemizing Stroke Care in Acute Endovascular Patients (P2.308)
CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of a streamlined routing and transfer process significantly shortened treatment times and decreased complications in our stroke patients. Our pre-established expedited triage, imaging, stroke physician expertise, and mechanical clot retrieval proficiency resulted in more favorable outcomes. With these changes, patients receive the most specialized endovascular care in a highly efficient manner.Disclosure: Dr. Hawkins has nothing to disclose. Dr. Martin has nothing to disclose.

Effects of modified constraint-induced movement therapy on the lower extremities in patients with stroke: a pilot study.
CONCLUSION: The m-CIMT intervention improves the COM displacement in sagittal and frontal plane, as well as gait parameters. These suggest that m-CIMT intervention may be feasible and effective for the rehabilitation of hemiplegic gait. Implications for Rehabilitation Segmental kinematics method was used to estimate the displacement of the COM. m-CIMT interventions improved the COM displacement of patients after stroke. m-CIMT interventions improved the hemiplegic gait parameters.
