Different Clinical Manifestations of MELAS in a Single Family (P5.073)
Conclusions: In 1992, diagnostic criteria for MELAS included symptom onset prior to 40-years of age. Numerous case reports have found patients presenting with MELAS after age 40 with genetic confirmation of the mutation. Today, the criteria have been eased and a diagnosis of MELAS should be considered in the appropriate clinical setting at any age.Disclosure: Dr. Koshy has nothing to disclose.

The "Uncertainty Principle" as an Entry Criterion in Stroke Clinical Trials: Bias Towards Null Findings (P2.382)
Conclusions: When investigators accurately judge which patients will benefit from therapy, using the uncertainty principle can substantially influence randomized trials toward null findings for treatments that are actually beneficial. This bias should be considered when interpreting stroke trial results.Disclosure: Dr. Vyas has nothing to disclose.

An 8-Week Lifestyle Educational Program Improves Depression Related to Reduced Blood Flow (P4.392)
Conclusions: The 8-week depression recovery program was associated with significant improvement in the vast majority (90[percnt]) of participants with heart failure or stroke. In order to see if treatment was the cause of the improvement it needs to be compared to a control group that does not participate. A long-term follow-up study would also be beneficial.Disclosure: Dr. Ramirez has nothing to disclose. Dr. Antuna has nothing to disclose.

Improving Telestroke Performance in Rural Systems of Care - The EQUITe Initiative (P6.084)
Conclusions: This is the largest outcomes study to date of acute telestroke encounters in rural US hospitals. The number of AIS consults treated with tPA was high indicating increased access to acute tele-neurological expertise. Teleconsultation physician response time was rapid, while patient arrival time to consult call was much longer. More work is needed to ensure better adherence to DTN guidelines. In PhaseII, we are determining the impact of an innovative telestroke education program on timeliness/outcome of treatment.Disclosure: Dr. Solenski has nothing to disclose.
