Michelle is moving ahead after experiencing a stroke
In fall of 2014, I was a senior, excited about finishing high school in New Hampshire and heading off to college. But I could never have guessed what the year would bring. I was an avid lacrosse player and competing in my fifth game of a tournament when I started to notice I was having trouble seeing out of my left eye. Soon, my hand felt weird and I couldn’t grip the stick properly. As I sat on the sidelines, onlookers recommended I be taken to a local hospital. Recovering from stroke I can’t remember a lot of what happened next, but I know that the emergency doctors believed I had a stroke. They sent me to the Stroke...

Thrombolytic Utilization in Ischemic Stroke Is Significantly Higher in US Hospitals with Neurology Residency Program (S02.006)
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke care at NR hospitals is associated with an increased thrombolytic utilization rate. The increased tPA utilization at NR between 2002-2006 may be related to the rapid increase in Primary Stroke Centers across the country.Disclosure: Dr. Moradiya has nothing to disclose.

Effect of the neutral CLOTS 1 trial on the use of graduated compression stockings in the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide Stroke (ENOS) trial
Conclusions GCS use declined dramatically following the reporting of the CLOTS-1 trial. The results support the notion that a neutral trial of a device can influence clinical practice rapidly, which is important with a widely used and moderately expensive (time and finance) intervention.

A Readability Assessment of Online Stroke Information
Background: Patients and carers increasingly access the Internet as a source of health information. Poor health literacy is extremely common and frequently limits patient's comprehension of health care information literature. We aimed to assess the readability of online consumer-orientated stroke information using 2 validated readability measures.Methods: The 100 highest Google ranked consumer-oriented stroke Web pages were assessed for reading difficulty using the Flesch–Kincaid and Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG) formulae.Results: None of the included Web pages complied with the current readability guidelines whe...

Determining the barriers and facilitators to adopting best practices in the management of poststroke unilateral spatial neglect: results of a qualitative study.
Conclusion: It is estimated that upwards of 40% of patients experience poststroke USN in the acute phase, and we have evidence of poor early management. This study identified several modifiable factors that prepare the ground for the creation and testing of a multimodal knowledge translation intervention aimed at improving clinicians' best practice management of poststroke USN.

Spanish Version of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale: Awareness and Use in the United States. A Survey Study (P6.023)
Conclusion: Neurology and Emergency medicine training programs are generally not aware of the availability of the NIHSS Spanish version. There is a need to increase awareness and to promote the use of the Spanish version of the NIHSS and to address the validation of its use by interpreters given the large and expected increase in the population of Hispanics.Disclosure: Dr. Villalobos has nothing to disclose.

A call for formal telemedicine training during stroke fellowship
During the 20 years since US Food and Drug Administration approval of IV tissue plasminogen activator for acute ischemic stroke, vascular neurology consultation via telemedicine has contributed to an increased frequency of IV tissue plasminogen activator administration and broadened geographic access to the drug. Nevertheless, a growing demand for acute stroke coverage persists, with the greatest disparity found in rural communities underserved by neurologists. To provide efficient and consistent acute care, formal training in telemedicine during neurovascular fellowship is warranted. Herein, we describe our experiences in...

Comment: Telemedicine training during stroke fellowship
In 2009, the American Heart Association recommended the implementation of telemedicine within stroke systems of care.1 Telestroke services have expanded throughout the United States, and have led to improvements in access to care, recombinant tissue plasminogen activator utilization, and cost-effectiveness. Medical trainees must be educated to utilize these new technologies and health care delivery models. There is limited information on the training of telemedicine providers and what education is necessary. A recent article recommended telemedicine-related enhancements to Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Educati...

Memory gaps in graduates a 'stroke warning sign'
Conclusion This study showed that highly educated people who notice memory complaints in themselves may be more likely to develop stroke than those who don’t, over an average of 12 years. The study had a number of strengths, such as its population-based prospective design and availability of data on more than 9,000 participants at baseline with a long follow-up. However, there were also a number of limitations that weaken the strength of the conclusions. It was not clear whether the memory complaints were assessed just once at the start of the study or an ongoing basis. Some people may report memory complaints that are o...
