Safety and efficacy of eptifibatide in acute ischemic stroke requiring extracranial carotid artery stenting
CONCLUSIONS: Eptifibatide may have a role in the management of acute stroke requiring carotid stenting. Caution may be required in those with established infarct on presentation imaging.PMID:37574792 | DOI:10.1177/15910199231193928

E-101 Rescue stenting for intracranial stenosis in emergent large vessel occlusion patients using the neuroform atlas stent through the gateway balloon: preliminary report
ConclusionOur preliminary experience showed the diminished risk of guidewire perforation as well as potentially decreased operative time and early reperfusion by deploying the Neuroform stent through a compatible gateway balloon microcatheter. This should be investigated further in large multicenter studiesDisclosures M. Memon: None. T. Nisar: None. J. Lee: None. A. Biswas: None. A. Singla: None. P. Khandelwal: None.

Oral antiplatelet therapy for acute ischaemic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Antiplatelet therapy with aspirin 160 mg to 300 mg daily, given orally (or by nasogastric tube or per rectum in people who cannot swallow) and started within 48 hours of onset of presumed ischaemic stroke, significantly decreased death and dependency, and reduced the risk of early recurrent ischaemic stroke without a major risk of early haemorrhagic complications; long-term outcomes were improved.PMID:35028933 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD000029.pub4

The Outcome of Status Epilepticus and Long-Term Follow-Up
Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of regular care and patient follow-up. Introduction Status epilepticus (SE) is a condition and most extreme form of epilepsy (1), which leads to abnormal and prolonged seizure (at least 5 min). In case SE persists over 30 min, it may have severe long-term consequences (2). Referring to the new classification scheme of SE, there are two operational dimensions of the definition: time point 1 (T1) is associated with abnormally prolonged seizure, when therapy should be initiated, while time point 2 (T2) is related to the time of on-going seizure activity involving a risk...

Monitoring of hospital acquired pneumonia in patients with severe brain injury on first access to intensive neurological rehabilitation: First year of observation.
Authors: Beghi G, De Tanti A, Serafini P, Bertolino C, Celentano A, Taormina G Abstract Nosocomial or hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) is an illness contracted during a hospital stay, generally with onset 48 hours or more after admission to hospital, or within 14 days of discharge from hospital. HAP is divided into subgroups: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), accounting for 86% of hospital acquired pneumonia, and stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP). The incidence of SAP in neurological intensive care units (NICUs) is 4.1-56.6%, in medical intensive care units (MICUs) it is 17-50%, in stroke units it is 3.9-44% ...

What Causes Microcephaly?
Discussion Microcephaly is usually defined as an occipitofrontal head circumference (OFC) more than 2 standard deviations (SD) below the mean for sex, age and ethnicity. Severe microcephaly is used for OFC < 3 standard deviations. Rates of microcephaly range from 0.5-12 patients/10,000 live births. The OFC should be measured at every well child visit and at other opportunities and plotted on standard growth charts. The OFC is measured using a nonelastic tape measure around the largest part of the head with the tape measure held above the eyebrows and ears. It is a highly reproducible measurement. There are several diff...

Disability and mortality after permanent feeding tube placement in patients with acute stroke (P3.107)
Conclusions:In our large cohort of patients with acute stroke and PEG tubes, nearly 9/10 had severe disability at discharge. From discharge to 1 year, there was no difference in mortality between PEG and NG patient cohorts. These results suggest that PEG tubes serve mainly to prolong survival in patients discharged with severe disability. Our study may help support guideline creation and facilitate discussions with patients and families regarding PEG tube placement after acute stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Joundi has nothing to disclose.

E-048 Factors Associated with Early Tracheostomy and Percutaneous Gastrostomy and Their Effects on Hospitalization in Hemorrhagic Stroke Patients
ConclusionsHemorrhagic stroke is a devastating neurovascular event that requires prompt intervention and vigilant management. Our study identified patient risk factors that may suggest candidacy for tracheotomy and PEG. Additionally, we found that timing of PEG may shape a patient’s hospital course. Complication rates related to tracheostomy and PEG in this population were minimal. In conclusion, this retrospective data set supports some benefit to early PEG placement in this population, and justifies the need for further prospective study.DisclosuresM. McCann: None. J.

All bleeding stops — but does idarucizumab (Praxbind) make it stop faster?
3.5 out of 5 stars Persistent life-threatening hemorrhage after administration of idarucizumab. Alhashem HM et al. Am J Emerg Med 2016 June 30 [Epub ahead of print] Reference Dabigatran (Pradaxa) is a direct thrombin inhibitor approved for stroke and embolism prophylaxis in patients with non-valve-related atrial fibrillation. When it was first released in 2008, a major disincentive to widespread use was the lack of a reliable reversal agent to treat major bleeds, or to administer before necessary invasive procedures. In October 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved idarucizumab (Praxbind), a monoclonal ant...
