248 An Evaluation of Patient Education Post-Stroke
ConclusionThese results illustrate areas in which we can improve education post-stroke, including ensuring patients receive individualised information about the aetiology of their stroke, risk factors and the importance of new medications. It also highlights the importance of ensuring advice regarding driving is clearly explained and documented.

Status epilepticus mimicking stroke recurrence.
CONCLUSION: Status epilepticus is not infrequent in patients with previous stroke and may present with negative neurological symptoms, thus mimicking a stroke recurrence. EEG should be considered as a potential diagnostic tool in the acute stroke setting, at least in patients with previous stroke. This article is part of the Special Issue "Seizures & Stroke".

Stroke-mimics in stroke-units. Evaluation after changes imposed by randomized trials
Conclusion: Considering that the number of patients admitted for stroke treatment will increase even further with a larger therapeutic window for mechanical thrombectomy and for thrombolysis, a diagnostic decision-making algorithm for stroke patients is required in order to reinforce the suspicion of stroke indicating an urgent MRI.Resumo Uma janela terap êutica maior para o tratamento do AVC exige uma mudança significativa na organização dos serviços de emergência, para evitar o aumento do número de exames de imagem e indiretamente o tempo de tratamento. Objetivo: destacar a relação entre avaliação clínica mai...

Stroke-Specific Quality of Life one-year post-stroke in two Scandinavian country-regions with different organisation of rehabilitation services: a prospective study.
Conclusions: Successful improvements in one-year functioning in both country-regions may result from optimising long-term rehabilitation services to address cognitive, emotional, and social functioning. Stroke-Specific Quality of Life one-year post-stroke could be explained by individual factors, such as pre-stroke dependency and mental health, rather than differences in the organisation of subacute rehabilitation services.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe stroke-specific health related quality of life (SS-QOL) assessment tool captures multidimensional effects of a stroke from the perspective of the patient, which is clin...

Characteristics of post ‐stroke dysphagia: A retrospective study based on FEES
ConclusionsThe infratentorial stroke may lead to worse swallowing function as compared to a supratentorial stroke. Additionally, patients with infratentorial stroke, PAS > 5, PR ≥ 3, or vocal fold motion impairment may contribute to a longer duration of nasogastric tube placement.

Consistent determinants of post‐stroke health‐related quality of life across diverse cultures: Berlin–Ibadan study
ConclusionsBased on these consistent determinants, the stroke recovery cycle, a novel therapeutic model aimed at improving sense of purpose and meaning in life after stroke while promoting emotional and physical well‐being, is proposed for further exploration.

Identification of acute stroke using quantified brain electrical activity.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite a small population and the use of a classifier without the benefit of training on a stroke population, these data suggest that a rapidly acquired, easy-to-use system to assess brain electrical activity at the time of evaluation of acute stroke could be a valuable adjunct to current clinical practice.

Outcome of men and women after atrial fibrillation and stroke
ConclusionsThere were no gender differences in long‐term mortality after stroke related to AF. Men were significantly more often prescribed anticoagulants before stroke, a finding that indicates the need for further studies.

Subclinical Cerebral Vessel Lesions and Risk of Stroke: the Northern Manhattan Study (S13.002)
CONCLUSIONS - Participants with SBI were at greater risk of incident stroke, particularly lacunar stroke, in this race/ethnically diverse sample. These data suggest that SBI is an independent predictor of small vessel strokes. Subjects with SBI may require more aggressive management to prevent stroke.

Cognitive function in stroke survivors: A 10 ‐year follow‐up study
ConclusionsPost‐stroke cognitive impairment was prevalent among 10‐year stroke survivors, and the odds of having severe cognitive impairment were higher among the stroke survivors compared to non‐stroke persons. The burden of long‐term PSCI might have been underestimated previously, and MoCA may be more suitable than MMSE to detect long‐term PSCI.

Memphis Mobile Stroke Unit Saves Lives
A year after a mobile stroke unit hit the streets of Memphis, officials say it is saving lives by cutting the time it takes to treat stroke patients.
The University of Tennessee Health Science Center began using the 14-ton ambulance last year as part of a three-year controlled study. The unit has a CT scanner that can X-ray images of the brain, and is equipped to provide early fluids to stroke patients and dye blood vessels to determine the type of stroke the patient has had.
"The emergency room on average takes 40 to 50 minutes to do the things we do in 13 to 14 minutes," said Dr.Andrei Alexandrov, UTHSC neurolo...

Stroke Severity Affects Timing: Time From Stroke Code Activation to Initial Imaging is Longer in Patients With Milder Strokes
Optimizing the time it takes to get a potential stroke patient to imaging is essential in a rapid stroke response. At our hospital, door-to-imaging time is comprised of 2 time periods: the time before a stroke is recognized, followed by the period after the stroke code is called during which the stroke team assesses and brings the patient to the computed tomography scanner. To control for delays due to triage, we isolated the time period after a potential stroke has been recognized, as few studies have examined the biases of stroke code responders. This “code-to-imaging time” (CIT) encompassed the time from stroke code...
