Protamine Reduces Serious Bleeding Complications Associated with Carotid Endarterectomy in Asymptomatic Patients without Increasing the Risk of Stroke, Myocardial Infarction, or Death in a Large National Analysis.
CONCLUSION: Protamine reduces serious bleeding complications at the time of CEA without increasing the risk of MI, stroke, or death, in this large North American analysis. Based on this and previous regional work regarding protamine use in CEA, it is believed that there is now sufficient evidence to support its routine use, and it should be considered as a benchmark for quality during CEA.

Voluntary exercise ameliorates the good limb training effect in a mouse model of stroke.
This study used a mouse model to investigate if post-stroke exercise could prevent deterioration of the function of the impaired limb despite compensatory training of the intact limb. Results showed that mice that exercised, in combination with intact limb training, demonstrated improved functional outcome compared to mice that received no training or compensatory limb training only. These findings suggest that exercise can prevent the deterioration of impaired limb functional outcome that is typically seen with intact limb use. PMID: 33388904 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Sensors, Vol. 21, Pages 1806: Development of a Low-Cost, Modular Muscle –Computer Interface for At-Home Telerehabilitation for Chronic Stroke
We describe our modular electromyography acquisition, processing, and feedback algorithms to train differentiated muscle control during at-home therapist-guided sessions. Additionally, we evaluated the performance of low-cost sensors for our training task with two healthy individuals. Finally, we present the results of a case study with a stroke survivor who used the system for 40 sessions over 10 weeks of training. In line with our previous research, our results suggest that using low-cost sensors provides similar results to those using research-grade sensors for low forces during an isometric task. Our preliminary case s...

Network Mapping of Time to Antithrombotic Therapy Among Patients With Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
Conclusion: The proportion of patients receiving antithrombotics within 48 h was higher than previously reported in Australia but remained lower than the standard achieved in North American hospitals. Our process map and network analysis show avenues to shorten the time to antithrombotic.

E-006 Feasibility and safety of mechanical thrombectomy in stroke patients presenting with distal ACA occlusions - insights from star
ConclusionIn this multicenter study, MT for distal ACA occlusions in the A2/A3 segments seem to be feasible and associated with low complication and symptomatic hemorrhage rates. Future studies are needed to compare the functional outcome of MT versus medical management for stroke patients presenting with A2/A3 occlusions.Disclosures D. Pullmann: None. E. Almallouhi: None. S.

E-096 COVID status is related to clot burden during thrombectomy in acute stroke patients
ConclusionOf 230 patients included in this interim analysis across 24 centers in the United States, between 02/2021 and 01/2022, 16 patients had a history of COVID. Comparing COVID-positive to non-positive, patients with COVID were younger (median 66.5 years vs 71.5 years, p 0.042), and had more intracranial clot by weight (median 101.0 mg vs 42.0 mg, p 0.047). There was a trend toward COVID positive patients to have more clot volume (median 180 cc vs 77.5 cc p 0.08), suggesting the difference was a higher clot burden instead of more density to the thrombus. These results suggest different histopathological characteristics...

EMAGINE –Study protocol of a randomized controlled trial for determining the efficacy of a frequency tuned electromagnetic field treatment in facilitating recovery within the subacute phase following ischemic stroke
Stroke is a leading cause of disability with limited effective interventions that improve recovery in the subacute phase. This protocol aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a non-invasive, extremely low-frequency, low-intensity, frequency-tuned electromagnetic field treatment [Electromagnetic Network Targeting Field (ENTF) therapy] in reducing disability and promoting recovery in people with subacute ischemic stroke (IS) with moderate-severe disability and upper extremity (UE) motor impairment. Following a sample-size adaptive design with a single interim analysis, at least 150 and up to 344 participants will be rec...

A study of the correlation between stroke and gut microbiota over the last 20years: a bibliometric analysis
ConclusionFindings suggest that in the next 10 years, the number of publications produced annually may increase significantly. Future research trends tend to concentrate on the mechanisms of stroke and gut microbiota, with the inflammation and immunological mechanisms, TMAO, and fecal transplantation as hotspots. And the relationship between these mechanisms and a particular cardiovascular illness may also be a future research trend.

CO142 Evaluating the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Acute Ischemic Stroke Outcomes in the Stroke Belt
This study sought to compare specific key outcomes related to ischemic stroke that occurred before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. We assessed mortality rates, morbidity rates, and the administration of thrombolytics in patients with ischemic stroke admitted to emergency departments (ED) in the Stroke Belt, a region of the United States with historically worse stroke outcomes.

Marijuana use might lead to higher risk of stroke, World Stroke Congress to be told
(Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada) A five-year study of hospital statistics from the United States shows that the incidence of stroke has risen steadily among marijuana users even though the overall rate of stroke remained constant over the same period.

Occupational and leisure-time physical activity differentially predict 6-year incidence of stroke and transient ischemic attack in women
Conclusions Higher intensity levels of OPA increased stroke and TIA risks, while LTPA decreased risks; results corroborate the physical activity health paradox for women and cerebrovascular disease. More standing at work increased cerebrovascular disease risks, especially for women with CVD.byHall C, Heck JE, Sandler DP, Ritz B, Chen H, Krause N. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3786

Leveraging Health Information Exchange to Construct a Registry for Traumatic Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injury and Stroke in Indiana.
Authors: Rahurkar S, McFarlane TD, Wang J, Hoover S, Hammond F, Kean J, Dixon BE Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury (SCI) and stroke are conditions of interest to public health as they can result in long-term outcomes and disabilities. Specialized registries can facilitate public health surveillance, however only 4% of hospitals in the United States actively engage in electronic reporting to these registries. We leveraged electronic claims and clinical data from a health information exchange to create a statewide TBI/SCI/Stroke registry to facilitate the study of long-term outcomes and health...
