Teaching a Neurology Continuing Medical Education Course to Ghanaian Physician Assistants (P1.281)
Conclusions: The provision of education in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions to primary care providers is one intervention that can address the limited supply of neurologists in lower income countries. This study suggests that a continuing medical education course can increase participant self-confidence in major topics in neurology and that the most valuable contribution of an educational intervention could be instruction in the neurological exam.Disclosure: Dr. O'Donnell has nothing to disclose.

Brain arterial diameters as biomarkers of cognitive performance: Results from the Northern Manhattan Study (P2.246)
Conclusions: Brain arterial diameters are biomarkers of vascular disease and individuals at the extremes of the BAR score had worse cognitive performance. Further study of the mechanisms by which brain arterial diameters associate with cognition may increase our understanding of the vascular contribution to dementia.

Overcoming Challenges in the Collection of Patient-Reported Outcomes in an Ambulatory Academic Neurology Clinic (P2.381)
Conclusion: Systematic digital collection of PRO is feasible and informative, and did not interfere with clinic operations. Survey completers differ from non-completers in important ways, and efforts such as multilingual PRO survey tools and additional supports should be implemented to ensure collection from vulnerable patient populations. Further research is warranted to validate these findings.Disclosure: Dr. Moura has nothing to disclose. Dr. Schwamm has nothing to disclose. Dr. Moura has nothing to disclose.

Different Clinical Manifestations of MELAS in a Single Family (P5.073)
Conclusions: In 1992, diagnostic criteria for MELAS included symptom onset prior to 40-years of age. Numerous case reports have found patients presenting with MELAS after age 40 with genetic confirmation of the mutation. Today, the criteria have been eased and a diagnosis of MELAS should be considered in the appropriate clinical setting at any age.Disclosure: Dr. Koshy has nothing to disclose.

Improving Telestroke Performance in Rural Systems of Care - The EQUITe Initiative (P6.084)
Conclusions: This is the largest outcomes study to date of acute telestroke encounters in rural US hospitals. The number of AIS consults treated with tPA was high indicating increased access to acute tele-neurological expertise. Teleconsultation physician response time was rapid, while patient arrival time to consult call was much longer. More work is needed to ensure better adherence to DTN guidelines. In PhaseII, we are determining the impact of an innovative telestroke education program on timeliness/outcome of treatment.Disclosure: Dr. Solenski has nothing to disclose.

Rupture of vertebral artery dissection aneurysm during 3D DSA
A 60-year-old man with a history of headache and vomiting had a subarachnoid hemorrhage on CT scan. On 2-dimensional (2D) digital subtraction angiography (DSA), a possible dissection aneurysm of the vertebral artery was seen (video 1 on the Neurology® Web site at Neurology.org). During 3D DSA, the aneurysm suddenly ruptured (video 2), with intracranial hemorrhage. The pressure of contrast was 200 psi, the rate was 2 mL/s, with a total volume of 12 mL. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit but died of brain herniation and vasospasm. Few dissection aneurysms rupture during 3D DSA, but the risk is likely ...

China's shift from population control to population quality: Implications for neurology
China's population restriction, known across the globe as the 1-child policy, has been in place since 1981, with variations to allow some couples a second child.1,2 In response to social challenges arising from this policy, the Chinese government announced in 2015 that it would transition to a new 2-child policy, encouraging couples since January 1, 2016, to have 2 children.3 This transition accompanies a focus on population quality (i.e., improvements in health, education, and social welfare) in newborns to the large Chinese elderly population, with an initiative to reform the Chinese health care system and increase disea...

Influence of sodium consumption and associated knowledge on poststroke hypertension in Uganda
Conclusions: High urine sodium and high salt-diet preferences were more frequent among poststroke hypertensive patients in Uganda than in their nonhypertensive counterparts. There was, however, no difference in dietary salt knowledge between these groups. The development of educational strategies that include salt-diet preferences may lead to better blood pressure control in this high-risk population.

Three-dimensional modeling of Eagle syndrome
A 63-year-old man presented with transient episodes of left-hand weakness and right-eye vision loss following a lengthy airplane trip. The patient had reported right neck pain after sleeping awkwardly on the flight. Carotid dissection, paradoxical embolism, atherosclerotic occlusion, and thrombotic occlusion were considered possible etiologies of the associated carotid occlusion. Following a period of anticoagulation, a subsequent CT angiography (figure 1, A–C) revealed findings consistent with the styloid-carotid artery, or Eagle, syndrome.1 A 3-dimensional model was subsequently created (figure 2, A and B) utilizin...
