Strategies for improving dabigatran adherence for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: education and drug intake reminders (FACILITA study).
CONCLUSIONS: A mixed intervention, consisting of patient education and a simple calendar reminder of drug intake, is an effective strategy to improve dabigatran therapeutic adherence in patients with NVAF. The percentage of adherence with dabigatran was high. PMID: 29384410 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Heterogeneity in neurologic education and care in Asian and Oceanian region
The Asian subcontinent and Oceania (comprising islands in the Pacific Ocean) are home to more than 60% of the world's population. The burden of neurologic disease and sickness is thereby high and medical care is in high demand. There are many developing countries with diverse cultural, economical, political, religious, and historical backgrounds within the Asian and Oceanian region.1,2 Recently, enhanced medical care in these developing countries has resulted in greater longevity, which has increased the burden on those providing health care. The prevalence of neurologic illness has also increased and has emerged as a prio...

A call for formal telemedicine training during stroke fellowship
During the 20 years since US Food and Drug Administration approval of IV tissue plasminogen activator for acute ischemic stroke, vascular neurology consultation via telemedicine has contributed to an increased frequency of IV tissue plasminogen activator administration and broadened geographic access to the drug. Nevertheless, a growing demand for acute stroke coverage persists, with the greatest disparity found in rural communities underserved by neurologists. To provide efficient and consistent acute care, formal training in telemedicine during neurovascular fellowship is warranted. Herein, we describe our experiences in...

Non-Neurologist Self Assessment of Emergency Neurology Proficiency and Interest in a Novel Intensive Stroke and Neurocritical Care Training Program: The X-CHANGE Program (P1.045)
Conclusions:Hospital based non-neurology physicians have significant exposure to critically ill neurological patients. Many are not comfortable with important fundamental skills, such as the neurological exam. There is strong interest in a proposed intensive training program emphasizing bedside teaching. Based upon these results, we are developing a formal intensive training program for practicing non -neurology physicians called the "Cross-disciplinary Cerebrovascular HospitAl NeuroloGy Education" program.Disclosure: Dr. Yee has nothing to disclose.

High-throughput sequencing of the entire genomic regions of CCM1/KRIT1, CCM2 and CCM3/PDCD10 to search for pathogenic deep-intronic splice mutations in cerebral cavernous malformations.
Abstract Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) are vascular lesions of the central nervous system that can cause headaches, seizures and hemorrhagic stroke. Disease-associated mutations have been identified in three genes: CCM1/KRIT1, CCM2 and CCM3/PDCD10. The precise proportion of deep-intronic variants in these genes and their clinical relevance is yet unknown. Here, a long-range PCR (LR-PCR) approach for target enrichment of the entire genomic regions of the three genes was combined with next generation sequencing (NGS) to screen for coding and non-coding variants. NGS detected all six CCM1/KRIT1, two CCM2 and...

Stroke code simulation benefits advanced practice providers similar to neurology residents
Conclusion Simulation training is a beneficial part of medical education for APPs and should be considered in addition to traditional didactics and clinical training. Further research is needed to determine whether simulation education of APPs results in improved treatment times and outcomes of acute stroke patients.

Closure of a patent foramen ovale with a device does not offer a greater benefit than medical therapy alone for the prevention of recurrent cerebrovascular events
Commentary on: Furlan AJ, Reisman M, Massaro J, et al.. CLOSURE I Investigators. Closure or medical therapy for cryptogenic stroke with patent foramen ovale. N Engl J Med 2012;366:991–9. Context Stroke can rarely be caused by paradoxical emboli passing from the right side of the circulatory system to the left side. Case reports have shown that the most common site of right to left shunt is the patent foramen ovale (PFO), and case control studies have shown a higher prevalence of PFO in patients with cryptogenic stroke as compared to stroke victims with a known cause or non-stroke controls. Therefore, the question ari...

Feasibility of Google Glass for Remote Resident Supervision and Evaluation (P1.039)
Conclusions:This pilot feasibility study is a first step in applying mobile telemedicine using GG for remote supervision and evaluation of neurology residents. Early experiences suggest good technical feasibility and patient acceptance. Primary outcome analysis of inter-rater agreement between in-person and remote (GG) evaluation of the NIHSS and NEX assessments is pending.Study Supported by: This study receives support from an American Academy of Neurology Education Grant, as well as from an American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology Faculty Fellowship Award.Disclosure: Dr. Carrera has nothing to disclose.

Community Socioeconomic and Urban-Rural Disparities in Prehospital Notification of Stroke by Emergency Medical Services in North Carolina
CONCLUSIONS: Across a large, diverse population, EMS prenotification occurred in only one-third of suspected stroke patients. Furthermore, low SES and rural tracts were independently associated with a lower likelihood of prehospital notification. These findings suggest the need for education and quality improvement initiatives to increase EMS stroke prenotification, particularly in underserved communities.PMID:37657786 | DOI:10.14423/SMJ.0000000000001601
