Current practice of outpatient rehabilitation services in patients with mobility-impaired paralysis due to stroke or spinal cord injury: a qualitative interview study in Germany
CONCLUSION: Areas of improvement identified focused on: setting rehabilitation goals towards participation, training therapists on evidence-based treatments and shared decision-making, updating the outpatient service catalogue, and implementing coordination actions. Implementation of these recommendations should be evaluated.PMID:37732606 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2259301

Finding Power in My Panic Attacks
Trouble started in the form of rivulets of sweat dampening the waistband of my underwear. It was a bluebird afternoon in Phoenix in December of 2020, mid 60s, desert dry, and my heart was jackhammering against my ribcage. Breathing felt like I was sucking air through a stir straw. A small ABC News crew was arrayed before me, ready to broadcast the report I’d written that day, but with my vision narrowed to a needle’s eye, I could barely see them. I tried to swallow away the sandiness in my mouth but realized I’d forgotten how. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] “I can’t swallow!...

Temporal trends of case-fatality in patients undergoing dual-injection coronary chronic total occlusion recanalization
ConclusionAnnual number of CTO procedures performed in Germany increased from 2009 to 2020 with a concomitant anti-proportional decrease in the case-fatality. Our findings may help to draw more attention to predictors of in-hospital case fatality in patients hospitalized for CTO recanalization.Graphical abstract

Should beetles be named after Adolf Hitler?
In 1934, a German paleontologist named a giant flying insect from the Carboniferous period Rochlingia hitleri , after Adolf Hitler, who had just taken power in Germany, and Hermann Röchling, an anti-semitic steel manufacturer and member of the Nazi Party. Three years later, an Austrian amateur entomologist named a brown, eyeless beetle from Slovenian caves Anophthalmus hitleri because he admired Hitler. In recent years, neo-Nazis have reportedly paid thousands for specimens, pushing the beetle toward extinction . Some researchers have argued for years that A. hitleri and other spec...

Endovascular treatment of acute tandem lesions in patients with mild anterior circulation stroke
Conclusions EVT for tandem lesions in patients with mild anterior circulation stroke appears to be feasible but may lead to increased rates of sICH. Further studies comparing endovascular with best medical treatment (BMT) especially investigating the risk of periprocedural hemorrhagic complications, are needed.

Anticholinergic Burden and Cognitive Impairment in Nursing Homes: A Comparison of Four Anticholinergic Scales
ConclusionsThe cumulative effect of medications with modest antimuscarinic activity may influence the cognitive performance of NH residents. The anticholinergic burden measured with the ACB scale should help identify NH residents who may benefit from reducing the anticholinergic burden.A clear direct relationship between anticholinergic burden and cognitive impairment was found only for the ACB Scale.

Subannular repair in secondary mitral regurgitation with restricted leaflet motion during systole
Conclusions Our study demonstrates the safety and feasibility of standardised subannular repair to treat ventricular SMR (Carpentier type IIIb) in a multicentre setting. By addressing mitral leaflet tethering, papillary muscle relocation results in very satisfactory 1-year outcomes and has the potential to durably restore MV geometry; nevertheless, long-term FU is mandatory. Trial registration number NCT03470155.

Detection of atrial fibrillation using an implantable loop recorder in patients with previous cryptogenic stroke: the SPIDER-AF registry (Stroke Prevention by Increasing DEtection Rates of Atrial Fibrillation)
ConclusionsIn the context of cryptogenic strokes ILRs are a valuable tool for early detection of AF. In a real-world scenario, the anticoagulation therapy remains inadequate despite diagnosed AF in a relevant subset of patients requiring optimization of patient management.Graphical abstract

P089/268 Safety and efficacy of the fourth-generation Acandis Acclino Flex Plus stent in managing complex intracranial aneurysms
ConclusionThe AFP stent demonstrated feasibility and favourable safety and efficacy in the treatment of complex aneurysms. These results support its clinical use and highlight the need for further studies to evaluate its performance in different aneurysm subsets and to determine its specific role in the endovascular treatment of aneurysms.Disclosure of InterestCK serves as consultants for Acandis GmbH (Pforzheim, Germany) and proctor for MicroVention Inc./Sequent Medical (Aliso Viejo, CA, USA).

P090/269 Comparative analysis between a second-generation (acandis acclino) and a first-generation (enterprise) stent system
ConclusionAdvanced stents offer reduced thromboembolic risk and comparable aneurysm occlusion to first-generation stents due to their flexible design and surface modification. These results support the clinical use of advanced stent systems, but further comparative studies are needed to conclusively evaluate the efficacy of stent-assisted coiling with the Acclino stent and other systems.Disclosure of InterestCK serves as consultants for Acandis GmbH (Pforzheim, Germany) and proctor for MicroVention Inc./Sequent Medical (Aliso Viejo, CA, USA).

P124/272 Initial encounter with a cutting-edge mobile head CT scanner (Somatom On.site) in a neuro-intensive care unit
ConclusionThe study demonstrates the clinical effectiveness of modern mobile CT scanners in neurointensive care units. The Somatom On.site provides sufficient image quality, saves time and supports timely decision making. The integration of mobile CT scanners in NICUs improves patient care and workflow. Prospective studies are needed to validate these findings and assess the long-term impact in NICUs and other units, such as stroke units.Disclosure of InterestCK serves as consultants for Acandis GmbH (Pforzheim, Germany) and proctor for MicroVention Inc./Sequent Medical (Aliso Viejo, CA, USA).

O20/181 Early reperfusion or complete reperfusion TICI 3: determinants of improve outcome after first pass recanalization in mechanical thrombectomy
ConclusionOnly 13% of the FP-related improvement in functional outcome is explained by higher rates of complete recanalization, suggesting significant importance of early recanalization and low number of MT maneuvers. Results may improve the understanding of the importance of FP-reperfusion vs. early TICI=3 and may help to optimize MT treatment strategies.Disclosure of InterestHK has financial interest in Eppdata GmbH.GT received fees as consultant and lecturer from Acandis, Alexion, Amarin, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bayer, BMS/Pfizer, Daiichii Sankyo and Portola.
