Serum Activity of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2, a Potential Stroke Biomarker, is Decreased in the Acute Phase of Rat and Human Ischemic Stroke (P5.132)
CONCLUSIONS: These data show for the first time a decrease in serum ACE2 activity in the first few hours following an ischemic stroke. Increasing evidence indicates a neuroprotective role of ACE2 in stroke, and the current results suggest that further study may prove its application as a stroke biomarker. Study Supported by: National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, UF McKnight Brain Institute.Disclosure: Dr. Bennion has nothing to disclose. Dr. Rosado has nothing to disclose.

Mechanisms and Outcomes of Ischemic Stroke in Pregnancy and Postpartum: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study (P3.070)
CONCLUSIONS: Women with pregnancy-associated ischemic strokes were younger and had fewer vascular risk factors when compared with other young women with ischemic strokes. Outcomes were similar in the two groups, with a substantial proportion of poor outcomes in both groups. Our results are limited by the small sample size and retrospective nature of the study. Larger studies are needed to better characterize the pathophysiology of pregnancy-associated stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Miller has nothing to disclose. Dr. Yaghi has nothing to disclose.

CT Angiogram Helps to Predict Ischemic Stroke in Dizzy Patients, but NOT Better than the Clinical Examination (P3.084)
Conclusions: In patients with subjective dizziness, stroke risk factors and focal exam findings predict acute ischemic stroke. Calcification on CTA is also predictive, but does not significantly improve sensitivity.Disclosure: Dr. Chen has nothing to disclose. Dr. Schneider has nothing to disclose.

Review of Primary Intraventricular Hemorrhage Reveals Dichotomous Outcomes (P3.089)
Conclusion: PIVH is rare, with high morbidity and mortality, though in our study, a substantial percentage had a good outcome. Decreased LOC was the most common presentation. Hypertension was the most common contributing factor, followed by coagulopathy. Vascular lesions were less common than expected. More research is needed to fully understand this rare disease entity.Disclosure: Dr. Sirdar has nothing to disclose. Dr. Song has nothing to disclose. Dr. Ess has nothing to disclose.

Prospective Study Of Acute Ischemic Stroke Sub-Types In A Teritiary Care Hospital In South India (P4.283)
Conclusion: The study contributes to understanding of demographic characteristics, risk factors and stroke-subtype in acute ischemic stroke. Like other studies LVA is the commonest subtype and intra-cranial vessels are commonly involved as in other Asian studies.Disclosure: Dr. Garuda has nothing to disclose.

The Impact of Door to Stroke Unit Time on post-stroke complications rate: A single center experience (P4.288)
Conclusion: Our study suggests that time to SU is an independent risk factor for post-stroke in-hospital complications. Early admission to SU is recommended.Disclosure: Dr. Al-Khathaami has nothing to disclose. Dr. Al-Jumah has nothing to disclose.

A Case Report of Rheumatoid Meningitis, an unusual complication of Rheumatoid Arthritis (P4.056)
CONCLUSIONS: Rheumatoid Meningitis is an extremely uncommon complication of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Initial presentations can vary from altered mental status (most common), cranial neuropathies, hemiparesis/paraparesis, seizure, headache and very rarely stroke like symptoms. This patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis presented with multiple stroke like episodes, lepomeningeal enhancement. Diagnosis was established on the basis of Imaging and Histopathology after excluding other potential causes of granulomatous meningitis.

Clinical Characteristics of PFO Stroke in Pregnancy (P2.274)
CONCLUSIONS: PFO may pose unique risks compared to non-PFO related stroke in pregnancy. Novel risk factors such as May-Thurner’s anatomy, which promote venous clotting with the increase in abdominal girth are important during pregnancy. For high risk individuals (such as those with known hypercoagulable state), screening for PFO may be of clinical utility in preventing strokes. Further studies are ongoing to validate these preliminary findings. Study Supported by: None.Disclosure: Dr. Chen has nothing to disclose. Dr. Deng has nothing to disclose.

Stroke Knowledge in the Population of Sao Bernardo Basic Health Unit (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) (P2.301)
Conclusion: female sex and family history of stroke increased the odds of recognizing the condition shown on video as a stroke. The clinical manifestations most cited are the most meaningful, but they were mentioned by only a small part of the sample. The majority of the studied population would call EMS in the presence of someone having a stroke, but knowledge of the EMS telephone number was low.Disclosure: Dr. Meira has nothing to disclose.

Stroke Awareness In Outpatients. (P2.302)
CONCLUSIONS: General knowledge about CVRF is still insufficient in the outpatient population, even when assessed in the cardiology or neurology clinic. We believe that increased knowledge about stroke in outpatients, compared to inpatients, is due to higher educational level and a higher amount of family members with a history of stroke.

Epidemiology of Ischemic Strokes and Transient Ischemic Attacks in the Oldest Old (P2.308)
Conclusion: Most patients 85-years or older, in our study, were women. More than half of the strokes were embolic. A substantial number of patients received thrombolysis and almost a third of patients were discharged to acute rehabilitation. Older patients benefit from aggressive stroke management and have potential for meaningful recovery. Age should not be a major limiting factor in the treatment of stroke in this population.Disclosure: Dr. Garcia Santibanez has nothing to disclose. Dr. Skliut has nothing to disclose.
