Extreme Heat Is Endangering America ’ s Workers —And Its Economy
This project was supported by the Pulitzer Center 7 A.M.: COPELAND FARMS—ROCHELLE, GA Just after dawn on a recent July day in Rochelle, Ga., Silvia Moreno Ayala steps into a pair of sturdy work pants, slips on a long-sleeved shirt, and slathers her face and hands with sunscreen. She drapes a flowered scarf over her wide-brimmed hat to protect her neck and back from the punishing rays of the sun. There isn’t much she can do about the humidity, however. Morning is supposed to be the coolest part of the day, but sweat is already pooling in her rubber boots. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] ...

Will unpredictable side effects dim the promise of new Alzheimer ’s drugs?
A sea change is underway in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, where for the first time a drug that targets the disease’s pathology and clearly slows cognitive decline has hit the U.S. market. A related therapy will likely be approved in the coming months. As many neurologists, patients, and brain scientists celebrate, they’re also nervously eyeing complications from treatment: brain swelling and bleeding, which in clinical trials affected up to about one-third of patients and ranged from asymptomatic to fatal. The side effect—amyloid-related imaging abnormalities, or ARIA—remains mysterious. “We don’...

Changes of migraine aura with advancing age of patients
ConclusionThe frequency of typical characteristics of migraine aura and migraine headache including photophobia and phonophobia decreases with advancing patient age. This might have potentially difficult implications for the diagnosis of MA in the elderly.

A higher probability of subsequent stroke and ischemic heart disease in migraine patients: a longitudinal follow-up study in Korea
ConclusionsOur longitudinal follow-up study demonstrated a significant association between the presence of migraine and the development of stroke and ischemic heart disease in Korea, even after adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors.

E-126 Multicenter flow diversion in 200 patients for treatment of intracranial aneurysms
ConclusionThis report characterizes patient demographics, aneurysm characteristics, procedure complications and long-term angiographic and clinical outcomes for a large patient population across multiple medical centers treated with flow diversion. Overall, procedures resulted in a high rate of occlusion and low rate of serious complications. Continued iterative outcomes analysis is warranted particularly as flow diversion technology evolves. Despite diverse hospital settings, differences in presentation, patient characteristics and the inclusion of off-label treatments, flow diversion procedures remained safe and effectiv...

O-035 Endovascular treatment of cerebral venous thrombosis involving the deep venous system
ConclusionsAlthough deep venous involvement of CVT is uncommon, these patients are at risk of quickly becoming critically ill with an elevated rate of death or dependency. Although these patients may develop stroke, hemorrhage, or neurologic decline prompting consideration of endovascular therapy, the deep cerebral venous system is not easily accessible with catheters due to small lumens and risk of perforation. It has been proposed that deep cerebral veins may have a higher chance of recanalization if venous thrombus burden is reduced in other parts of the dural venous sinuses. Current literature has not fully explored th...

E-020 Flow diversion for intracranial aneurysms: intracranial hemorrhage and thromboembolic complications in a multi-center cohort of 200 patients
ConclusionComplication rates in our study are comparable to previous reports, and our findings further support the general safety and efficacy of flow diversion. Despite a relatively large population, the low number of ICH and TE complications limit statistical significance. Further study of complications in more robust samples are needed. However, the descriptive understanding of these complications can help direction future investigations.Abstract E-020 Table 1ICH and TE Stratifications ICH Non-ICH p n=7 n=193 Hypertension 7 (100%) 97 (50.3%) 0.035 Currently Smoking 3 (42.9%) 28 (14.5%) 0.319 Mean Procedural Fluoroscopi...

E-025 The rate and predictors of 30-day readmission in patients treated for cerebral aneurysms: a large single-center study
ConclusionIn our study, risk factors for 30-day readmission were increasing BMI, cancer, increasing aneurysm width, and anticoagulation use. Future studies should focus on aneurysm dimensions and the use of blood thinners as the literature pertaining these predictors is still scarce.Abstract E-025 Table 1 Variables N(%) 30-day Readmission 36 (6.6) Cause of Readmission: Infection Stroke Re-Rupture Wound Dehiscence Seizures CSF Leak Hydrocephalus Headache Wound Area Swelling Groin Hematoma Pseudo meningocele 9 (25)11 (30.6)1 (2.8)1 (2.8)1 (2.8)1 (2.8)1 (2.8)7 (19.4)2 (5.6)1 (2.8)1 (2.8) Causes and Rate of ReadmissionAbstrac...

E-049 Complications of middle meningeal artery embolization - a systematic review
ConclusionThe published literature suggests that MMA embolization is a generally well-tolerated procedure, but with a low risk of significant complications, including, but not limited to stroke, seizures, visual obscurations, and facial palsy. Further studies and sub-analyses are needed to fully characterize the incidence of such complications.Disclosures J. Gerstl: None. M. Shafi: None. S. Badikol: None. N. Nawabi: None. R. Mekary: None.

Can Patent Foramen Ovales Cause Problems?
Discussion During fetal development, the heart primum and secundum septa grow and overlap leaving a small but important channel between the two atria. The foramen ovale is a flap valve moving blood from the right atrium into the left atrium directly and bypassing the high pressure pulmonary system. After birth and breathing air, the neonate’s lungs open up and the pulmonary vascular resistance decreases. The left atrium now has a relatively higher pressure than the right atria, and therefore pressure on the flap valve closes the foramen ovale. Usually within 6-12 months, the fusion of the primum and secundum of the f...

Scientists Are Just Beginning to Understand COVID-19 ’ s Effect On the Brain
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors started to notice something striking. For what was originally described as a respiratory virus, SARS-CoV-2 seemed to have a strong effect on the brain, causing everything from loss of taste and smell and brain fog to, in serious cases, stroke. NYU Langone Health, a New York city research hospital, started collating those anecdotes in hopes of better understanding how the virus affects the brain and nervous system. Years later, the project has morphed from focusing solely on acute symptoms to also tracking the long-term neurologic issues that some people with Long COVID experience, sa...

Clinical Course and Recurrence in Transient Global Amnesia: A Study From the TEMPiS Telestroke Network
CONCLUSIONS: Arterial hypertension is prevalent in TGA patients, with elevated blood pressure being the most-frequent concomitant condition. In our cohort, recurrence of TGA occurred in approximately one-fifth of patients. Concomitant conditions such as migraine, hypothyroidism, and atrial fibrillation occurred at different frequencies in the two groups.PMID:37455507 | DOI:10.3988/jcn.2022.0368
