Ischemic Stroke and Intracranial Hemorrhage With Aspirin, Dabigatran, and Warfarin: Impact of Quality of Anticoagulation Control Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In Chinese patients with atrial fibrillation, the benefits of warfarin therapy for stroke prevention and ICH risk are closely dependent on the quality of anticoagulation, as reflected by TTR. Even at the top TTR quartile, warfarin was associated with a higher stroke and ICH risk than dabigatran.

Right Brain: Ondine's curse
The overhead sign announced a 15-minute delay in the train's arrival. Hans headed for the small food shop within the terminal. The 16-hour shift at the hospital had squeezed the last residual drop of empathy from him like a sponge caught in an industrial vise. He tried to conjure concern for the 88-year-old woman with dementia who came in with a stroke, but nothing materialized. He scrutinized his heart for compassion for the 42-year-old patient with alcohol withdrawal seizures, but again nothing.

Hospital arrival time and functional outcome after acute ischaemic stroke: Results from the PREMIER study
Conclusions A high percentage of patients had short hospital arrival times; however, less than 3% underwent thrombolysis. Although many factors were associated with early hospital arrival, it is a priority to identify in-hospital barriers to performing thrombolysis.

Correction to Wendell, Waldstein, and Zonderman (2013).
Conclusions: Overall, results indicate nonlinear longitudinal relations of total cholesterol to cognitive decline. Whereas higher cholesterol levels were associated with cognitive decline in the middle-aged or young-old, lower cholesterol levels were related to cognitive decline among old-old participants.

Clinical Reasoning: A 42-year-old man who developed blurred vision and dropped his iPod while jogging
A 42-year-old man noted sudden onset of blurriness in his left eye and dropped his iPod from his right hand while jogging. In the emergency room, it was noted that visual blurring resolved with right eye closure, but his ophthalmologic examination was otherwise normal. He had subtle right nasolabial fold flattening and right arm pronator drift. His examination was otherwise normal. He reported no headache, neck pain, prior trauma, prior transient neurologic deficit, or palpitations. He took no medications and did not smoke, drink alcohol, or use illicit drugs.

The global burden of neurologic diseases
WHO categorizes causes of death and disability into (1) communicable diseases, maternal and perinatal conditions, and nutritional deficiencies; (2) non-communicable diseases (NCD); and (3) injuries. NCD are the leading cause of death and disability globally and are rising as a result of demographic and epidemiologic changes occurring in both developed and developing countries.1,2 Increasing life expectancies, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and harmful use of alcohol contribute to the growing incidence and prevalence of NCD, such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancers, and chronic respiratory disease...
