Interactive Voice Response_A Novel Approach to Post-Stroke Depression Monitoring (P7.130)
Conclusions: Stroke patients with depressive symptoms were able and willing to engage in IVR symptom monitoring and the burden on the health team was minimal. Future studies are needed to understand why subjects dropped out of the intervention and to explore the efficacy of this approach.Disclosure: Dr. Rusche-Skolarus has nothing to disclose.

Suicide after stroke
In their article "Poststroke suicide attempts and completed suicides: A socioeconomic and nationwide perspective,"1 Dr. Eriksson and colleagues focused on suicide after a serious brain injury (stroke). The authors work at Umea University in Sweden and the study was supported by the Swedish Council for Health and the Swedish Research Council. The study followed more than 220,000 people for 12 years after their stroke. Within this group, the authors counted the number of people who were admitted to a hospital for a suicide attempt and the number of people who died due to suicide. They found that younger less-educated men who...

Suicide in stroke survivors: Frequency and risk factors
Stroke is a substantial health problem worldwide. In addition to the high mortality in the acute phase, stroke causes further mortality over time due to associated comorbidities and complications, including suicidality.1 Stroke survivors have an increased risk of attempted or completed suicide.2 Identified risk factors for suicidality include depression, previous mood disorder, prior history of stroke, younger age, and cognitive impairment.2 Limited data are available on the role of socioeconomic factors such as civil status (most stroke survivors are widows or widowers), education, or income in suicidality. The recognitio...

Proteomics Reveals the Dysregulation of Lipid Metabolism in the Plasma of Post Stroke Depression Patients (P7.163)
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the perturbation of lipid metabolism and immunoregulation may be involved in the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder. Further investigation on these processes and proteins in PSD is key to understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of PSD.Disclosure: Dr. Mu has nothing to disclose.

Intravenous Thrombolysis Resulting In Acute Ischemic Stroke Recanalization Can Lead To Cerebral Hyperperfusion Syndrome (P7.123)
Conclusion- Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke should be suspected in patients that achieve arterial recanalization and develop unexplained new neuropsychiatric manifestations.Disclosure: Dr. Ong has nothing to disclose.

Poststroke suicide attempts and completed suicides: A socioeconomic and nationwide perspective
Conclusions: Both clinical and socioeconomic factors increase the risk of poststroke suicide attempts. This suggests a need for psychosocial support and suicide preventive interventions in high-risk groups of stroke patients.

Recognizing and preventing epilepsy-related mortality: A call for action
Epilepsy is associated with a high rate of premature mortality from direct and indirect effects of seizures, epilepsy, and antiseizure therapies. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the second leading neurologic cause of total lost potential life-years after stroke, yet SUDEP may account for less than half of all epilepsy-related deaths. Some epilepsy groups are especially vulnerable: individuals from low socioeconomic status groups and those with comorbid psychiatric illness die more often than controls. Despite clear evidence of an important public health problem, efforts to assess and prevent epilepsy-related...
