Management of Early Severe Hypertension in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Primary Stroke Centers vs. Non-Stroke Center Hospitals (P01.022)
CONCLUSIONS: Antihypertensives were initiated earlier for ICH at PSCs, however steroid utilization was no different. This suggests that routing stroke patients to PSCs may improve timeliness of antihypertensive therapy for ICH and greater education requiring avoidance of steroids is desirable even within PSCs.Disclosure: Dr. Flinders has nothing to disclose.

Incidence of eclampsia and related complications across 10 low- and middle-resource geographical regions: Secondary analysis of a cluster randomised controlled trial
ConclusionsThe large variation in eclampsia and maternal and neonatal fatality from hypertensive disorders of pregnancy between countries emphasises that inequality and inequity persist in healthcare for women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Alongside the growing interest in improving community detection and health education for these disorders, efforts to improve quality of care within healthcare facilities are key. Strategies to prevent eclampsia should be informed by local data. Trial registrationISRCTN: 41244132.

What Are Some Risk Factors for Cerebral Palsy?
Discussion The term, cerebral palsy, or CP has gone through many iterations with the first description in 1861 by W.J. Little who described it as “The condition of spastic rigidity of the limbs of newborn children.” The most recent definition is from Rosenbaun et al. in 2007 which states it is “a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. The motor disorders of cerebral palsy are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cog...
