CONCLUSIONS: Sleep duration had an inverted J-shaped curvilinear association with neurocognitive function, such that those with longer sleep duration had worse neurocognitive scores. Study Supported by: The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos was carried out as a collaborative study supported by contracts from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to the University of North Carolina (N01-HC65233), University of Miami (N01-HC65234), Albert Einstein College of Medicine (N01-HC65235), Northwestern University (N01-HC65236), and San Diego State University (N01-HC65237).

Crossed Subcortical Aphasia (P1.048)
CONCLUSIONS: This patient is a rare case in which right-sided subcortical damage results in aphasia. The most comprehensive evidence on language lateralization comes from functional studies of healthy adults that differ in their degree of handedness. It appears that the degree of right-handedness correlates, with the degree of left hemisphere language dominance.Disclosure: Dr. Murray has nothing to disclose. Dr. Kase has nothing to disclose.

Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Elevated Body Mass Index while on Novel Anticoagulants: A case series report (P1.059)
CONCLUSIONS:We report and characterize the largest published case series of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who had ischemic stroke while on novel oral anticoagulants. Elevated body mass index was noted among those who developed embolic strokes while on these agents.Disclosure: Dr. Kamal has nothing to disclose. Dr. Smith has nothing to disclose.

Are patients with carotid stenosis receiving optimal medical therapy? (P2.265)
Conclusion: Despite the presence of established large vessel atherosclerosis, a sizable proportion of patients reported that they were not receiving statin therapy or aspirin. Intensification of "real world" medical therapy will be important to reduce stroke rates and improve long-term survival.Disclosure: Dr. Koch has nothing to disclose.

Delay of Percutaneous Gastrostomy Tube (PEG) Placement in Patients with Ischemic Stroke in a Large Urban Hospital. (P1.063)
CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that hypertension, use of AA agents and use of tPA puts stroke patients at risk of having a delay in PEG placement. Prior studies have shown that aspirin use is not associated with increased bleeding complications during PEG placement. Education can help avoid delay in PEG tube placement due to aspirin use. Early PEG placement in ischemic stroke patients may improve clinical outcome and decrease hospital costs.Disclosure: Dr. Raval has nothing to disclose. Dr. Rayi has nothing to disclose.

Recurrent ischemic strokes and headaches originating from Lambl's excrescence (P2.273)
CONCLUSIONS: The association between recurrent strokes and late-age onset migraine with aura should raise clinical suspicion of a cardiogenic valvular etiology. Early TEE use is necessary to diagnose cardiac valvular strands like LE. LE associated with migraine headaches should prompt a treatment with anti-thrombotic agent. While anticoagulants and cardiothoracic surgery are indicated for recurrent strokes, a combined antiplatelet therapy was effective in our patient.Disclosure: Dr. Dumitrascu has nothing to disclose.

Ischemic Stroke in Pregnancy and Postpartum: A Descriptive Case Series (P1.079)
CONCLUSIONS: In our series of 19 pregnancy-associated ischemic strokes, mechanisms appeared unrelated to traditional vascular risk factors, and there was a substantial proportion of poor outcomes.
