Prognostic Importance of Lesion Location on Functional Outcome in Patients with Cerebellar Ischemic Stroke: a Prospective Pilot Study
We examined 14 patients with first-ever unilateral cerebellar ischemic stroke within 7 days and at 90 days from the onset of stroke by means of the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale. Cerebellar lesions were traced from magnetic resonance imaging performed within 72 h since stroke and region of interest were generated. The association between the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale score and lesion location was determined with the voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping methods implemented in the MRIcro software. Colored lesion-symptom maps representing the z statistics were generated and overlaid onto t...

Selected Health and Life Style Factors and Time to Phenoconversion in Huntington's Disease (S47.003)
CONCLUSIONS: An association between total lifetime caffeinated soda consumption and earlier HD onset was observed, but this was not seen with other caffeinated beverages and may be spurious. Other life style risk factors associated with PD or AD did not modify time to phenoconversion in HD.SUPPORT: NIH (# 2 R01 HG002449-06), National Human Genome Research Institute, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and StrokeDisclosure: Dr. Tanner has received personal compensation for activities with AbbVie and Adamas Pharmaceuticals as a scientific advisor.
