Wants Talk Psychotherapy but Cannot Talk: EMDR for Post-stroke Depression with Expressive Aphasia
CONCLUSION This is the first reported case demonstrating that EMDR can be effective for depression, even in those with severe expressive aphasia. In our case, there was no reluctance to disclose information, simply a neurological inability to do so. Through preparation, patience, perseverance, and plasticity (clinician flexibility, though perhaps also neuroplasticity), the patient’s PSD gradually improved, and she was able to reinvent her life within her limitations. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors gratefully acknowledge Eugene Schwartz, E.C. Hurley, and Mark Hubner for providing consultation during patient care. REFERENCES ...

Posterior circulation stroke is associated with prolonged door‐to‐needle time
ConclusionsPosterior circulation stroke patients had a delay in neurology evaluation after initial emergency department evaluation and a delay in intravenous tissue plasminogen activator administration compared with anterior circulation stroke patients. There may be difficulties in rapidly recognizing the symptoms of posterior circulation stroke, in contrast to anterior circulation stroke, in the emergency department.

Acute Stroke Code Accuracy in the Inpatient Versus Emergency Department (ED) Setting (S16.003)
Conclusion FP were more common for inpatient versus ED codes AMS or SS were infrequently associated with stroke diagnosis. Better education for non-neuroscience hospital providers, regarding acute stroke criteria, is needed.Disclosure: Dr. Schneck has received research support from NIH (POINT, COSS, ARUBA, ALIAS, Lundbeck (DIAS4), TIMI-50 Consortium, and Local PI Multicenter Clincial trials.

Racial/Ethnic and Sex Differences in Emergency Medical Services Transport Among Hospitalized US Stroke Patients: Analysis of the National Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Registry Stroke
Conclusions EMS use differed by race/ethnicity and sex. These contemporary data document suboptimal use of EMS transport among US stroke patients, especially by racial/ethnic minorities and those with less recognized stroke symptoms.

Characteristics and Outcomes Among Patients Transferred to a Regional Comprehensive Stroke Center for Tertiary Care Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Despite having more severe strokes on arrival at our hospital, transfer-in patients had similar in-hospital mortality versus front door patients and were more likely to be discharged to rehabilitation. These outcomes lend support to the concept of regionalized stroke care and concentrating patients who are more disabled at more advanced stroke care centers.

Right hemisphere grey matter structure and language outcomes in chronic left hemisphere stroke
The neural mechanisms underlying recovery of language after left hemisphere stroke remain elusive. Although older evidence suggested that right hemisphere language homologues compensate for damage in left hemisphere language areas, the current prevailing theory suggests that right hemisphere engagement is ineffective or even maladaptive. Using a novel combination of support vector regression-based lesion-symptom mapping and voxel-based morphometry, we aimed to determine whether local grey matter volume in the right hemisphere independently contributes to aphasia outcomes after chronic left hemisphere stroke. Thirty-two lef...

Representation of people with aphasia in randomized controlled trials of acute stroke interventions
ConclusionsAcute stroke trials have demonstrated the feasibility of including people with aphasia in stroke research; we observed geographic variations that were not entirely explained by case mix or trial eligibility criteria. Similar levels of inclusion should be sought in nonemergency stroke trials to improve the applicability of research findings to this population.

Factors Associated with Follow-Up in Stroke Clinic after Hospital Discharge (P2.323)
Conclusions: Stroke clinic follow-up is best achieved in patients admitted to the neurology service. Ensuring standardized discharge instructions with provided time and date of outpatient appointment is the key for successful follow-up.Disclosure: Dr. Bakradze has nothing to disclose.

Community ambulation of stroke survivors at 6 months follow-up: an observational study on sociodemographic and sub-acute clinical indicators.
CONCLUSIONS: The presence of risk factors and clinical complications delay significantly the walking ability restoration and return to social life. Such status consistently with the patient's compliance must not postpone the rehabilitation relatively, rehabilitation must be facilitated with targeted programs taking care particularly of people with negative indicators for recovery of community ambulation 6 months post-stroke. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Early indicators are considerable in order to predict a targeted prognosis and better provide a tailored rehabilitation program.

Age and aphasia: a review of presence, type, recovery and clinical outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke is a condition of the elderly. However, age appears to only influence likelihood of aphasia and aphasia type. PMID: 26916396 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

MELAS Syndrome: How Stroke-like are the Stroke episodes? (P1.255)
Conclusions:Patients with MELAS syndrome may present with recurrent strokes in the arterial territory rather than SLEs. Clinicians should entertain the possibility of a mitochondrial disease in young patients with cryptogenic stroke and pursue appropriate diagnostic evaluations and treatment.Disclosure: Dr. Liaw has nothing to disclose.

Long-term prognosis of aphasia after stroke
Conclusions The outcome of aphasia at 1 year after stroke can be predicted in the first week by the phonology score, the Barthel Index score, age, educational level and stroke subtype, with phonology being the strongest predictor.

The Spectrum of Aphasia Subtypes and Etiology in Subacute Stroke
Background: Aphasia is one of the most common stroke syndrome presentations, yet little is known about the spectrum of different subtypes or their stroke mechanisms. Yet, subtypes and etiology are known to influence the prognosis and recovery.Aim: Our aim is to analyze aphasia subtypes and etiology in a large subacute stroke population.Methods: Consecutive patients from a dedicated cognitive stroke registry were accrued. A validated cognitive screening examination was administered during the first month of stroke presentation, which enabled a diagnosis of 14 different aphasic subtypes. The evolution from one subtype to ano...
