Academic Year-end Changeover and Stroke Outcomes
Lower quality of care and poorer outcomes are suspected when new trainees (eg, residents) start in July in teaching hospitals, the so-called “the July effect.” We evaluated outcomes and processes of care among patients with an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) admitted in July versus other 11 months of the year.

Aspiration Pneumonia in Adults Hospitalized With Stroke at a Large Academic Hospital in Zambia
Discussion PSAP is common and life threatening in Zambia, especially among older participants with severe stroke presentations. PSAP was associated with significantly increased mortality independent of initial stroke severity, suggesting that interventions to mitigate PSAP may improve stroke outcomes in Zambia and other resource-limited settings.

Doctors 'Reverse' Brain Bleed Procedure To Treat Critically Ill Stroke Patients
Doctors at Southampton's teaching hospitals have reversed a procedure developed to stem bleeding in the brain to help them save the lives of seriously ill stroke patients. � The innovation, which involves placing a thin wire into the groin and passing it up to the skull using high definition TV images, is based on a technique originally used as an alternative to surgery for patients with ruptured brain aneurysms - fluid-filled bulges which force blood vessels to tear...

Laryngeal Elevation Velocity and Aspiration in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients
This study aimed to explore the ability of laryngeal elevation velocity to predict aspiration in patients with acute ischemic stroke. MethodsThis was a prospective cohort study that included consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients treated at a teaching hospital during a 10-month period. Patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to confirm the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke. Patients who were at risk of aspiration and could swallow 5 ml of diluted barium (40%, w/v) for a videofluoroscopic swallowing (VFS) study were included. The association between abnormal indices in the oral and pharyngeal phase of the V...
