White Matter Hyperintensity Volume and Outcome of Mechanical Thrombectomy With Stentriever in Acute Ischemic Stroke Brief Report
Conclusions—Mechanical thrombectomy using stentrievers seems to be safe in selected patients with acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion, nonwithstanding the severity of WMH burden in this population. Larger prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings.

A resident boot camp for reducing door-to-needle times at academic medical centers
Conclusions: DTN times were reduced after the implementation of a stroke boot camp and were driven primarily by efficient resident stroke code management. Educational programs should be developed for health care providers involved in acute stroke patient care to improve rapid access to IV tPA at academic institutions.

Developing a data sharing community for spinal cord injury research.
Abstract The rapid growth in data sharing presents new opportunities across the spectrum of biomedical research. Global efforts are underway to develop practical guidance for implementation of data sharing and open data resources. These include the recent recommendation of 'FAIR Data Principles', which assert that if data is to have broad scientific value, then digital representations of that data should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR). The spinal cord injury (SCI) research field has a long history of collaborative initiatives that include sharing of preclinical research models and outco...

Characterization of Long-term Gait Deficits in Mouse dMCAO, Using the CatWalk System.
Abstract Evaluation of functional outcome is widely used across species to assess the recovery process following various pathological conditions, including spinal cord injury, musculo-skeletal injury, mithochondrial disease, neuropathic cancer, Huntington's disease, chronic pain, cortical lesion, and olivocerebellar degeneration among others. The Stroke Therapy Academic Industry Roundtable (STAIR) recommends multiple endpoints for behavioral studies in pre-clinical stroke research, to demonstrate their clinical relevance. One of the more challenging tasks in experimental stroke research is measuring long-term func...

Use of Platelet Function Testing Before Pipeline Embolization Device Placement Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Clopidogrel nonresponders experienced a significantly higher rate of thromboembolic complications when compared with clopidogrel responders. However, this risk seems to be mitigated in nonresponders who were switched to ticagrelor or received a clopidogrel boost within 24 hours pre-procedure.

Historical Perspective of Cambodian Medicine with a focus on Neurology (P2.051)
Conclusions:The Keck School of Medicine of USC received a grant from World Federation of Neurology, which allowed faculty to travel to Cambodia and teach the clinical and diagnostic aspects of neurology over the course of two years. We expect a neurology residency to start in 2017 to help the patient population that suffers from stroke, seizure disorders and various other types of neurological disorders. Even though the past has had its rough patches, the future has untapped potential.Study Supported by: This study was supported by World Federation of Neurology.Disclosure: Dr. Singh has nothing to disclose.

The Experience of Spoke Hospitals in an Academic Telestroke Network (P1.278)
Conclusions:Within this single hub-spoke telestroke system in the Northeast, we found that spoke hospitals perceive the advantages of telestroke to be in enabling improved rates and efficiency of tPA administration. Barriers to use were most often related to technological challenges rather than concerns about patient care or patients’ perceptions. Future work should further explore how to better meet the needs of spoke hospitals in caring for stroke patients.Disclosure: Dr. Gadhia has nothing to disclose.

Age, Gender and Racial Disparities in Acute Stroke Therapy in a Large Non-Academic Health System (P3.261)
Conclusions:We confirmed known disparities in ATT rates between PSC and AH. No disparity in age or gender were identified in this population. Racial disparity was problematic because of a small number of non-white patients and a number of patients with no racial data captured. Better racial data collection, analysis of access to care, and care process modeling might impact these findings.Disclosure: Dr. Taylor has nothing to disclose.

Assessment of Economic Aspects of Stroke in Different Clinical Management Settings: Academic vs. Non-academic (P3.055)
Conclusions:The academic status of healthcare facilities plays a key role in cost and charge of the management of stroke patients. Despite more employment of laboratory, imaging and resources in academic setting, comparison of prognosis, patient safety and clinical outcome in two groups remains unclear. Significant decrease in the cost-to-charge ratio may cause higher patients’ copay which reflects more in academic settings and uninsured individuals. Further studies to investigate effects of alterations in the cost-to-charge ratio on patients’ beneficiary is necessary.Disclosure: Dr. Fahimi has nothing to discl...
