Infections Present on Admission and Stroke in the Young (I2.004)
Discussion: IPOA in young stroke patients are closely associated with NIHSS and subsequent poor outcomes at discharge. Further studies are needed to understand the role of infection and whether infections moderate the effect of stroke severity on stroke outcomes in young patients.Disclosure: Dr. Boehme has nothing to disclose.

Sex Disparities in Access to Stand Alone Primary Stroke Centers: Can Telemedicine Mitigate This Effect? (P2.137)
Discussion: Our study found no evidence of sex disparities in access to acute stroke care or in potential access to acute stroke care in the state of Texas. Although women had lower odds of access to stand alone PSCs this disparity no longer existed once access via telemedicine was considered.Disclosure: Dr. Wolff has nothing to disclose.

Treatment Trends In Management Of Intracranial Stenosis In The Pre- And Post-Sammpris Era (P1.146)
DISCUSSION: SAMMPRIS had a major impact on treatment trends of physicians managing patients with intracranial stenosis. In the Post-SAMMPRIS survey, 91% of respondents participating in SAMMPRIS and 82% of overall respondents indicated that the SAMMPRIS results changed the way they managed patients with ICAS.As aggressive medical management coupled with optimal risk factor reduction shows promise in reducing rates of recurrent stroke, a novel endovascular therapy will have to seek newer heights of increasing RRR to gain acceptance by practitioners.Disclosure: Dr. Pawar has nothing to disclose.

Treating Neglect by Body Movements: A Case Report and Follow-Up Study (P3.043)
DISCUSSION: Our initial neglect patient named left-sided objects better when cued to move midline structures to the left. If midline structures are represented more bilaterally in the brain, they may be less affected by body-centered "aiming" bias. Future research would examine whether cueing with the nose/tongue is selectively helpful for patients with more severe neglect or with "aiming" bias and limb akinesia.STUDY SUPPORTED BY: National Institutes of Health and Kessler Foundation.Disclosure: Dr. Chaudhari has nothing to disclose.

A Survey of Functional Movement Disorders at the National Institutes of Health (P1.073)
OBJECTIVE: To better characterize the clinical presentation of functional movement disorders. BACKGROUND: Functional (psychogenic) movement disorders are receiving greater attention as valid and treatable neurologic disorders. Unfortunately, the often long list of complaints with variable presentations may hamper timely diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: We reviewed 113 charts retrospectively of patients presenting to the National Institutes of Health. Patients were referred from 44 states and the District of Columbia, with the majority presenting from the local Washington D.C. metropolitan area. Most patients were diagnose...
