Simulation-Based Medical Education in Acute Neurologic Emergencies (P1.059)
Conclusions:Our data confirms the utility of SBME in acute neurologic disorders to improve resident confidence, clinical knowledge, teamwork, and communication skills. This experience allows us to improve future simulations by focusing on updated guidelines and a detailed analysis of resident performance.Disclosure: Dr. Ansari has nothing to disclose.

Using bibliotherapy to rebuild identity for people with aphasia: A book club experience
CONCLUSION: The themes align positively with outcomes associated with the bibliotherapy process. Themes also integrate into a self-management model that promotes self-efficacy through education, support, awareness, problem solving and goal setting. Caveats included determining participant readiness to examine recovery issues and facilitator preparation. Aphasia book clubs surrounding psychosocial texts may help PwA reconstruct a positive post-stroke identity.PMID:37517172 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106363

Brain rewires itself after damage or injury, life scientists discover
When the brain's primary "learning center" is damaged, complex new neural circuits arise to compensate for the lost function, say life scientists from UCLA and Australia who have pinpointed the regions of the brain involved in creating those alternate pathways — often far from the damaged site.   The research, conducted by UCLA's Michael Fanselow and Moriel Zelikowsky in collaboration with Bryce Vissel, a group leader of the neuroscience research program at Sydney's Garvan Institute of Medical Research, appears this week in the early online edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. ...

High-Fidelity Simulation Versus Traditional Didactic Techniques for Teaching Neurological Emergencies to Neurology Residents: A Feasibility Study. (P1.323)
CONCLUSIONS: Simulation based learning offers promise as a tool for objectively assessing some of the ACGME competencies that are more difficult to evaluate via traditional means. Studies with larger N and longer follow-up are needed to assess the efficacy, learner-retention and satisfaction rates among groups.Study supported by AAN education grant 2013.Disclosure: Dr. Agarwal has nothing to disclose.

Title: Ritual Risk: Incense Use and Cardiovascular Mortality
This study is of particular significance given that cardiovascular disease is one of the most common chronic diseases in the population worldwide,” says Karin Yeatts, an epidemiologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who has studied indoor air quality in the Middle East. In contrast with outdoor air pollution, incense exposure may be easier for an individual to avoid, but Yeatts says education will be needed to help people understand the risks of these exposures, similar to educational campaigns about cigarette smoking. Limitations to the study include lack of information on the type of incense burned...

Letters Of Gratitude Help Bring Thanksgiving Home
A lovely note crossed my desk recently. "You know something?" began the letter from 74-year-old Mrs. P, who received home care for complications from diabetes. "I would sooner do this than complain. People take the time to complain, but they will never tell you when something is going really well." One of the great privileges of my job overseeing patient care services at the Visiting Nurse Service of New York is that I get to hear from people like Mrs. P, telling me when things are indeed going well--and how that impacts their lives and the lives of those whom they dearly love. The note from Mrs. P went on to praise one ...

Comprehensive Sickle Cell Disease Management Is Associated with Superior Grade Attainment and High School Graduation Rates
Discussion: In this cohort, a high percentage of patients (86.7%) graduated or were on track to graduate from high school. In the United States, approximately 90% of patients with SCD are African American. All patients analyzed here were African American. With this in mind, ACHSCDP patients' graduation rate compares favorably to estimated graduation rates across the US general population (84%), the U.S. African America population (76%), the U.S. sickle cell patient population (71%), the Ohio general population (84%), and the Ohio African American population (68%).The higher graduation rate among children at the ACHSCDP is ...

Comparative Validity of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's National Outcomes Measurement System, Functional Oral Intake Scale, and G-Codes to Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability Scores for Dysphagia.
Discussion All 3 clinical dysphagia tools demonstrate acceptable validity in supporting G-Code designation to stroke cases. The FOIS demonstrated superior validity and utility across time points. The NOMS Dysphagia Scale was significantly affected by data missingness due to the multiconstruct nature of the tool. PMID: 31136231 [PubMed - in process]

MRI for all: Cheap portable scanners aim to revolutionize medical imaging
.news-article__hero--featured .parallax__element{ object-position: 47% 50%; -o-object-position: 47% 50%; } The patient, a man in his 70s with a shock of silver hair, lies in the neuro intensive care unit (neuro ICU) at Yale New Haven Hospital. Looking at him, you’d never know that a few days earlier a tumor was removed from his pituitary gland. The operation didn’t leave a mark because, as is standard, surgeons reached the tumor through his nose. He chats cheerfully with a pair of research associates who have come to check his progress with a new and potentially revolutionary device they are testing. The cylind...
