Long Distance Travel Potentiates Other Novel Risk Factors in PFO Related Strokes - "Economy Class Strokes" (S55.006)
ConclusionPFOs are highly prevalent in the general population, but they are usually only discovered after a stroke - so effective risk assessment and prevention are key. Our results suggest that both air and land travel are risk factors for PFO-related stroke, and the coexistence of additional risk factors potentiates risk associated with immobilization. These results help to individualize care: high-risk patients may benefit from pre-travel education, or DVT prophylaxis.Study Supported by: NIH/NINDSDisclosure: Dr. Ning has nothing to disclose.

Quantile Regression Forests to Identify Determinants of Neighborhood Stroke Prevalence in 500 Cities in the USA: Implications for Neighborhoods with High Prevalence
AbstractStroke exerts a massive burden on the US health and economy. Place-based evidence is increasingly recognized as a critical part of stroke management, but identifying the key determinants of neighborhood stroke prevalence and the underlying effect mechanisms is a topic that has been treated sparingly in the literature. We aim to fill in the research gaps with a study focusing on urban health. We develop and apply analytical approaches to address two challenges. First, domain expertise on drivers of neighborhood-level stroke outcomes is limited. Second, commonly used linear regression methods may provide incomplete a...

Associations between Ischemic Stroke Follow-Up, Socioeconomic Status, and Adherence to Secondary Preventive Drugs in Southern Sweden: Observations from the Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstroke)
Conclusions: The use of secondary preventive drugs decreases over the first year after stroke and remains suboptimal. Specific reasons for nonadherence warrant further study.Neuroepidemiology 2017;48:32-38

Ditching masks at a stroke is too much too soon
Responding to the Prime Minister’s announcement end​ing rules requiring face coverings in enclosed public spaces, UNISON assistant general secretary Jon Richards said today (Monday): “This isn’t the time to throw caution to the wind, especially with infections on the rise. The economy is important, but so is public confidence. “These hasty changes will create a confusing cocktail of guidance. The public will be expected to know how to react to each and every situation they face. “Pressure is already building on ambulance and other NHS services, and that’s before safety measures are ditched. It’s just to...

Extreme Heat Is Endangering America ’ s Workers —And Its Economy
This project was supported by the Pulitzer Center 7 A.M.: COPELAND FARMS—ROCHELLE, GA Just after dawn on a recent July day in Rochelle, Ga., Silvia Moreno Ayala steps into a pair of sturdy work pants, slips on a long-sleeved shirt, and slathers her face and hands with sunscreen. She drapes a flowered scarf over her wide-brimmed hat to protect her neck and back from the punishing rays of the sun. There isn’t much she can do about the humidity, however. Morning is supposed to be the coolest part of the day, but sweat is already pooling in her rubber boots. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] ...

P46 How much of the improvement in functional outcome after successful recanalization is explained by follow-up infarct volume reduction?
Conclusions57% of the improvement of functional outcome after successful recanalization is explained by follow-up infarct volume reduction. Results reflect established pathophysiological assumptions and confirm the value of infarct volume as imaging endpoint in clinical trials.ReferencesBoers AMM, Jansen IGH, Brown S, et al.

P83 The relationship of functional outcome after mechanical thrombectomy and serum glucose is partially mediated by edema formation
ConclusionEdema formation explains 15% of the total adverse effects of high blood glucose levels. Major pathways might include other direct effects of high blood glucose, such as altered vessel wall and thrombus characteristics and higher thrombogenicity of the cerebral blood flow.ReferencesThorén, M., et al.

A Gift From Jack
This morning, I was sitting in the courtyard next to our home working on my computer. The weather was terrific, clear and breezy. I was focused on a deadline that needed my full attention, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the terrific weather... and a wonderfully robust, rich brown-wrapped cigar. As I settled in, I noticed an older gentleman approaching out of the corner of my eye. On occasion, I've seen this same man walking around our neighborhood. He's tall and lanky, walking gingerly with a cane. By his gait, I suspect he may have had a stroke at some point. He continued walking towards me -- and the empty cha...

A Copernican Approach to Brain Advancement: The Paradigm of Allostatic Orchestration
The objective of this presentation is to explore historical, scientific, interventional, and other differences between the two paradigms, so that innovators, researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, patients, end-users, and others can gain clarity with respect to both the explicit and implicit assumptions associated with brain advancement agendas of any kind. Over the course of three decades, a series of brain-centric, evolution-inspired insights have been articulated with increasing refinement, as principles of allostasis (Sterling and Eyer, 1988; Sterling, 2004, 2012, 2014). Allostasis recognizes that the role of the ...

We Must Beat Alzheimer's Before It Beats Us! And Here's How!
Alzheimer's Has Become the Scariest Disease of Later Life It's true. In a new Age Wave/Merrill Lynch study titled Health and Retirement: Planning for the Great Unknown, we surveyed a representative sample of over 3,000 Americans to uncover both their hopes and their concerns about health and healthcare expenses. Overwhelmingly, the study respondents said that the most important ingredient for a happy retirement is health. And while all diseases can disrupt both health and wealth in retirement, people of all ages now say the scariest disabling condition in later life is Alzheimer's disease. In fact, Alzheimer's was cited...
