This Is What Heat Stroke Does To Your Body
Temperatures were in the 100s when Vanessa Dunn, a 29-year-old Los Angeles-based makeup artist, was driving back home to California from Virginia last summer. After hours on the road and drinking limited water, she was struck by a severe case of dehydration and heat stroke. ”I wasn’t drinking enough water because I didn’t want to stop to pee,” she says. When she finally pulled over for the night she felt light-headed, and she couldn’t keep food down when she tried to eat. She even threw up blood. ”I was in incredible pain, and dizzy,” she says. “[I went] to the ER, turned out...

Gore Takes on Abbott with New PFO Stroke Indication
W.L. Gore & Associates has received FDA approval to expand the indication of the Gore Cardioform Septal Occluder to reduce the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke in patients. The device treats patients through the closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO). Cardioform’s previous indication was for the closure of atrial septal defects that are up to 17mm in size. Gore’s Structural Heart Leader, Jake Goble said Cardioform has the potential to redefine stroke prevention. Goble began working for Gore in 2007. It was around that time the company began to explore the possibility of having the Cardioform focus on stroke prevent...

E-132 A retrospective analysis of stroke code specificity in predicting acute ischemic events
ConclusionsThis retrospective analysis of stroke codes at MGUH during a 6-month period was 29% specific in predicting AIS. This is significantly lower than what was found in previous studies. Of stroke mimics, TME was the major etiology encompassing 43.6% of cases. The results of our study suggest additional stroke education may be needed for non-neurologists and ancillary staff to appropriately recognize stroke symptoms to better improve the utilization of hospital resources and provide appropriate and efficient care.Disclosures A.

Direct and Indirect Cost Burden of Stroke Mimics Post Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator (IV-tPA): A Single Center Study (P3.103)
CONCLUSIONS:This study reveals that stroke mimics can have significant cost burden on health care system; mainly from the cost of IV-tPA and higher level of care. An urgent MR with selected sequences and perfusion imaging in certain patient population can be helpful to exclude patients with stroke mimics, avoid extra cost, and prevent unnecessary distress to the patient and family.Disclosure: Dr. Goyal has nothing to disclose.

Immediately After A Stroke, Your Next Steps Are Crucial
By Shereen Lehman (Reuters Health) - Time is critical when someone has a stroke, but care can be delayed when victims, bystanders or even health workers don't recognize the emergency, a new study in the UK finds. Better public awareness of the signs of stroke and the importance of seeking immediate emergency care are needed, the authors say. Stroke signs include the sudden onset of various symptoms such as confusion, difficulty speaking, droopy face or slurred speech, weakness in a limb, numbness, being off-balance, visual loss or a really severe headache. "Getting to hospital quickly is...

Is migraine a risk factor for pediatric stroke?
Conclusions There was no statistically significant increase in hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke risk in pediatric migraineurs in this cohort study. A post-hoc analysis found that ischemic stroke risk was significantly elevated in adolescents with migraine. Future studies should focus on identifying risk factors for ischemic stroke among adolescent migraineurs. Based on adult data, we recommend that migraine aura status should be studied as a possible risk factor for ischemic stroke among adolescent migraineurs.

Headache in stroke according to National Acute Stroke Israeli Survey
ConclusionsIntracerebral hemorrhage, younger age, female gender, posterior circulation involvement, and headache history are predictors for headache occurrence in acute stroke. Headache incidence in ICH correlates with stroke severity as opposed to IS. Headache in TIA is not unusual. Lacunar strokes are generally not accompanied by headaches. Headache remains the main complaint in SVT and carotid dissection.

The frequency of headache in patients in patients with first- ever ischemic stroke (p3.253)
Conclusions:Headache was much more common among patients with infarcts in the posterior circulation than in patients in whom the anterior circulation was involved. Headache was more common when the cause of stroke was large artery disease.Disclosure: Dr. Dobi has nothing to disclose. Dr. Basha has nothing to disclose. Dr. RANXHA has nothing to disclose.

Maternal Stroke: an Update
AbstractPurpose of the ReviewMaternal morbidity and mortality is rising in the USA, and maternal stroke is a major contributor. Here, we review the epidemiology, risk factors, and current recommendations for diagnosis and acute treatment of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke during pregnancy and postpartum, focusing on recent evidence.Recent FindingsThe incidence of maternal stroke has risen in recent years, possibly due to increasing rates of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The risk of maternal stroke is highest in the peripartum and early postpartum period. Preeclampsia is highly associated with reversible cerebral vas...

Clinical Characteristics of PFO Stroke in Pregnancy (P2.274)
CONCLUSIONS: PFO may pose unique risks compared to non-PFO related stroke in pregnancy. Novel risk factors such as May-Thurner’s anatomy, which promote venous clotting with the increase in abdominal girth are important during pregnancy. For high risk individuals (such as those with known hypercoagulable state), screening for PFO may be of clinical utility in preventing strokes. Further studies are ongoing to validate these preliminary findings. Study Supported by: None.Disclosure: Dr. Chen has nothing to disclose. Dr. Deng has nothing to disclose.
