Monitoring risk and preventing ischemic stroke in the very old
This article examines current guidelines and evidence regarding medical management, lifestyle changes, and psychosocial interactions that can contribute to the primary and secondary prevention of ischemic stroke in the very old.AREAS COVERED: The authors conducted a literature search for ischemic stroke prevention and risk assessment in the elderly via PubMed. Furthermore, they describe current strategies for monitoring risk and preventing ischemic stroke in the elderly population.EXPERT OPINION: Ischemic stroke poses a significant health risk to the elderly, with prevention relying on managing modifiable risk factors such...

Predictors of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Tube Placement in Middle Cerebral Artery Acute Ischemic Stroke and Stroke Laterality (P02.018)
CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicates that high NIHSS on admission, aspiration pneumonia and inability to undergo first swallow evaluation are independent predictors of PEG placement in patients with acute MCA strokes. This knowledge can be used for early identification of patients that require PEG tube placement to provide prompt nutritional support.Supported by: Hartford Hospital Research Center grant.Disclosure: Dr. San Luis has nothing to disclose.

Detection of Presymptomatically Latent Lesions Developing into Stroke-Like Episodes by Arterial Spin-Labeling Perfusion MRI in MELAS Patients (P03.162)
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that regional ASL hyperperfusion in the presymptomatic phase precedes the appearance of upcoming stroke-like lesions, and that presymptomatic SEs had already occurred several months before the onset of clinical symptoms. ASL imaging has great potential for detecting presymptomatic stroke-like lesions and predicting the emergence of SEs.Supported by: In part by Grants-in-Aid for the Scientific Research on Innovative Areas from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan and Young Scientists (B) from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, and the Re...

Correlates of health-related quality of life in African American and Caucasian stroke caregivers.
Objective: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Family caregivers are susceptible to negative outcomes as a result of their caregiving role. A stress process model was utilized to identify characteristics of stroke caregivers who are at risk for poor physical and mental health-related quality of life (QOL). Research Method: Individuals who experienced an incident stroke event within the previous year were identified from a larger epidemiologic study of stroke incidence. These stroke survivors were enrolled in the Caring for Adults Recovering from the Effects of Stroke (CARES) study along ...

Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation Lengths of Stay in Canada Derived From the National Rehabilitation Reporting System, 2008 and 2009
Conclusions: FIM motor function scores at admission along with age and geographic region best predicted rehabilitation LOS. These variables explained 20% of the variation in LOSs. Despite regional differences in LOSs, patient characteristics were similar between regions. Other nonpatient factors not captured in these data may contribute to a greater extent in determining stroke rehabilitation LOS.

Social Relationships, Serum Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, and the Risk for Stroke and Dementia: The Framingham Heart Study (P1.098)
Conclusions: In our large community sample, greater social support was associated with increased BDNF levels and, in certain dimensions of support, reduced risk of subsequent dementia and stroke. Further study of the biological and social mechanisms through which support from social networks reduce these risks is needed to determine whether relatively simple social interventions may help protect against age-related neurologic disease. Study Supported by: Boston University School of Medicine, a contract from NHLBI (N01-HC 25195), and by grants from the NINDS (NS017950) and NIA (AG031287, AG008122, AG033193).Disclosure: Dr. ...

Factors Determining Consent in a Randomized Trial of Intra-arterial Stem Cell Therapy for Sub-Acute Ischemic Stroke (P2.386)
Conclusions: There was a relatively high rate of consent among eligible patients in the first US intra-arterial trial of stem cell therapy for stroke. Approaching LAR for consent was found not to influence consenting rates.Disclosure: Dr. Ramdas has nothing to disclose. Dr. Pafford has nothing to disclose. Dr. Haussen has nothing to disclose.

Modeling the Impact of Interhospital Transfer Protocol Design on Mechanical Thrombectomy Eligibility and Outcomes in a Large Metropolitan Area (S25.005)
Conclusions:Optimizing IHT networks requires balancing the efficiency gains of transferring to affiliated hospitals with the travel delays resulting from bypassing nearby MT-capable centers.Study Supported by: Babak Navi was supported by grants from the NINDS (K23NS091395) and the Florence Gould Endowment for Discovery in Stroke.

Long-term Risk of Complications after Percutaneous Transcatheter Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale (S51.003)

Stroke-associated pattern of gene expression previously identified by machine-learning is diagnostically robust in an independent patient population
The objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic capacity and temporal stability of this stroke-associated transcriptional signature in an independent patient population. Publicly available whole blood microarray data generated from 23 ischemic stroke patients at 3, 5, and 24h post-symptom onset, as well from 23 cardiovascular disease controls, were obtained via the National Center for Biotechnology Information Gene Expression Omnibus. Expression levels of the ten candidate genes (ANTXR2, STK3, PDK4, CD163, MAL, GRAP, ID3, CTSZ, KIF1B, and PLXDC2) were extracted, compared between groups, and evaluated for their dis...
