Risk Factors and Risk Model Construction of Stroke in Patients with Vertigo in Emergency Department
CONCLUSIONS: Age ≥ 60 years old, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, previous history of vertigo or inner ear disease, focal muscle weakness, dysphagia, or ataxia were associated with a higher risk of stroke. The risk model constructed based on our findings may help to assess the risk of stroke in patients with vertigo in the emergency department.PMID:35633924 | PMC:PMC9142295 | DOI:10.1155/2022/2968044

Clinical Features and Management of Ischemic Stroke in Pakistan (P02.031)
CONCLUSIONS: Risk factors for stroke in Pakistan are similar to patients in North America. However the majority of patients are either unaware or have poor management of stroke risk factors. Efforts at risk factor management are important to reduce the burden of stroke in this population.Disclosure: Dr. Khan has nothing to disclose. Dr. Shuaib has nothing to disclose.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Presenting as Stroke: Case Report and Literature Review (P1.022)
CONCLUSIONS CJD develops primarily within a population in whom stroke risk factors are common and represents a rare but important stroke mimic. Negative sensitive imaging in elderly patients with apparent acute vascular syndromes should prompt diagnostic review including consideration of prion diseases.Disclosure: Dr. Van Heuven has nothing to disclose.

Misdiagnosis of lamotrigine toxicity as posterior circulation transient ischemic attack or stroke.
CONCLUSION: Emergency departments will frequently call a stroke alert for patients taking LTG and presenting with symptoms consistent with LTG toxicity, particularly in seniors at greater risk of stroke. This adds not only expense but also radiation and contrast exposure from computed tomography (CT) studies. We recommend that a rapid LTG assay be made available and always ordered in patients receiving LTG, avoiding the considerable expense of an unnecessary stroke evaluation.

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...

What factors predict Fitbit adherence in Stroke and Parkinson disease? (P6.029)
Conclusions:The strongest predictor of adherence to daily activity monitoring was level of medical co-morbidity. Other determinants of adherence were self-efficacy for managing conditions, e-Health literacy and pain. Age and level of disability did not affect daily use of small wireless monitors to track activity in stroke and PD.Disclosure: Dr. Schrader has nothing to disclose.

A single-site retrospective study of pediatric arterial ischemic stroke etiology, clinical presentation, and radiologic features.
CONCLUSIONS: PAIS occurs more frequently in younger children and this group most frequently presents with convulsion as the initial symptom. The overall etiologies of PAIS may be different from those of adult stroke and the involved regions may be distinguishing features of PAIS or its different forms, but more research is required.

Stroke of a cardiac myxoma origin
Conclusion: Cardiac myxoma stroke is rare. Often does it affect young females. For an improved diagnostic accuracy, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and echocardiography are imperative for young stroke patients in identifying the cerebral infarct and determining the stroke of a cardiac origin. Immediate thrombolytic therapy may completely resolve the cerebral stroke and improve the neurologic function of the patients. An early surgical resection of cardiac myxoma is recommended in patients with not large territory cerebral infarct.

A Comparison of Remote and Bedside Assessment of the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale in Acute Stroke Patients
Introduction: Telestroke videoconference for conducting the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is recommended when the facility of a direct bedside evaluation by a stroke specialist is not immediately available for hyperacute stroke assessment. However, some NIHSS-telestroke studies inherit systematic bias due to the subjective nature of NIHSS administration. We aimed to evaluate NIHSS telestroke assessment, while implementing measures to minimize subjectivity bias.Patients and Methods: Ninety stroke patients within 48 h of onset were assessed by 6 stroke neurologists grouped in 15 pairs. Each pair of physic...

The impact of body mass index on functional rehabilitation outcomes of working-age inpatients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: FIM outcomes were not associated to BMI, nevertheless each BMI category when individually considered (normal weight, overweight or obese) was characterized by different associations involving FIM outcomes and clinical factors.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: In sub-acute post-stroke working-age patients undergoing rehabilitation, BMI was not associated to FIM outcomes (no obesity paradox was reported in this sample). Distinctive significant associations emerged within each BMI category, (supporting their characterization) such as length of stay and TFIM effectiveness were associated for normal weight and ...

Aphasia Induced by Infratentorial Ischemic Stroke: Two Case Reports
Aphasia induced by an infratentorial stroke has rarely been reported, and its mechanism has not been fully identified. We evaluated two individuals who had been admitted to Saiseikai Kumamoto Hospital in Kumamoto, Japan, due to acute ischemic stroke in order to determine whether their aphasia was induced by an infratentorial stroke. The first patient, a 59-year-old man with a history of left parietal embolic stroke with very mild sequelae of anomia, developed Wernicke’s aphasia, nonfluent speech, and right limb ataxia as a result of the stroke. The second patient, a 76-year-old woman with a history of chronic renal failu...

Case Report: Right Insular Stroke Causing Simultaneous Onset of a Functional Vestibular Disorder and Psychiatric Disorder —Persistent Postural–Perceptual Dizziness and Post–stroke Depression
DiscussionPrior case reports described short-lived vertigo following insular strokes, but no long-term vestibular symptoms without ongoing nystagmus or gait ataxia. In this case, chronic dizziness and motion sensitivity continued in the absence of focal neurologic deficits, invoking the possibility that changes in functioning of brain networks subserving spatial orientation persisted despite otherwise adequate recovery from the stroke, a mechanism previously proposed for PPPD. This case also reinforced prior work implicating pathways through the insula in PSD. Co-occurrence of PPPD and PSD offers insights into simultaneous...
