Public Review: The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (CMD), Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) and Myotonic Dystrophy (DM) Common Data Elements (CDE) Recommendations (S25.004)
CONCLUSIONS: The NINDS encourages the use of the CDEs by the neurological clinical research community in order to standardize the collection of research data across studies. As the clinical research landscape changes, the CDEs will evolve in parallel. The CDE project ultimately will facilitate valuable research in the areas of many neurological diseases.

A Culturally Tailored Education Intervention for Korean Seniors Increases Stroke Knowledge (S13.007)
Conclusions: This culturally-tailored intervention broadly increased stroke knowledge immediately afterwards, with persistent gains for 2 aspects. How to extend the intervention to sustain knowledge gains and whether these changes translate into behavior changes and improved outcomes should be tested.Disclosure: Dr. Song has nothing to disclose.

Internet Teaching of the Neurologic Examination and OSCE Performance in the Neurology Clerkship (s19.006)
CONCLUSIONS Using www.neuroexam.com significantly improved students’ performance on a Stroke OSCE compared to online NIHSS training, with similar trends for Headache and Neuropathy. General neurologic examination training rather than focused stroke examination training may be more helpful for students, even when examining stroke patients. Online websites with teaching videos may represent a viable model for improving students’ skills with the neurologic examination.

NIH Stroke Scale Assessment via Tablet-based Mobile Telestroke During Ambulance Transport Is Feasible - pilot data from the Improving Treatment with Rapid Evaluation of Acute stroke via mobile Telemedecine (iTREAT) study (S21.003)
CONCLUSIONS: In this simulation study, NIHSS scores performed during rural ambulance transport using our low-cost, off-the-shelf tablet-based mobile telestroke system correlated well with face-to-face assessments. These results support further prospective research of mobile telemedicine in live patient settings of prehospital stroke care.Disclosure: Dr. Padrick has received research support from the American Heart Association.

Temporal Trends of Emergency Department Arrival Times after Acute Ischemic Stroke: a Population-Based Study (S21.006)
CONCLUSIONS: We found that IS patients arrived at progressively later times from 1993/4-2010. More research is needed to determine the reasons for delayed arrival to medical attention, since time from onset dominates the exclusion of patients from rt-PA.

Physical activity, motor function, and white matter hyperintensity burden in healthy older adults
Conclusions: Higher levels of physical activity may reduce the effect of WMH burden on motor function in healthy older adults.

Long-term disability after lacunar stroke: Secondary prevention of small subcortical strokes
Conclusions: In lacunar stroke patients, older age was associated with worsening long-term disability, even without recurrence. Worse long-term function was associated with diabetes, cognitive status, and prior stroke, and regional differences may be attributable to variations in health care delivery or scale interpretation.

Asian neurology and stroke
In his 2010 inauguration speech, Professor Vladimir Hachinski, President of the World Federation of Neurology (WFN), conveyed a message: "Asia has more than 60% of the global population, yet in some areas, the education of neurology to young neurologists does not keep up with the patients' needs of neurologic care." He organized the Asia Initiative as a part of WFN to bring attention to this region. As the Chair of this Initiative, I have met many Asian neurologists and have begun to realize that there is a unique situation that requires attention from the rest of the world.

Heterogeneity in neurologic education and care in Asian and Oceanian region
The Asian subcontinent and Oceania (comprising islands in the Pacific Ocean) are home to more than 60% of the world's population. The burden of neurologic disease and sickness is thereby high and medical care is in high demand. There are many developing countries with diverse cultural, economical, political, religious, and historical backgrounds within the Asian and Oceanian region.1,2 Recently, enhanced medical care in these developing countries has resulted in greater longevity, which has increased the burden on those providing health care. The prevalence of neurologic illness has also increased and has emerged as a prio...

Recommendations of the Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias Conference
The National Alzheimer's Project Act, signed into law in 2011, mandates a National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease that is updated annually. In the Plan, the term Alzheimer disease includes not only Alzheimer disease (AD) proper, but also several specified related dementias, namely, frontotemporal, Lewy body, vascular, and mixed dementia. In response to a specific action item in the 2012 National Plan, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, in collaboration with the National Institute on Aging, convened panels of experts and conducted a 2-day public conference to develop research priorities and ti...

Peripheral pulse measurement after ischemic stroke: A feasibility study
Conclusion: With a low rate of false-positive results, MPP offers an easy, ubiquitously available, noninvasive, first-step screening tool to guide ECG diagnostics for pAF after ischemic stroke. The data warrant a prospective trial evaluating the efficacy of MPP-guided ECG diagnostics in secondary prevention after stroke, which is now underway. Classification of evidence: This study provides Class I evidence that MPP by patients or relatives accurately distinguishes AF from normal heart rhythm as compared with continuous ECG.

Interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein as predictors of cognitive decline in late midlife
Conclusions: Elevated IL-6 but not CRP in midlife predicts cognitive decline; the combined cross-sectional and longitudinal effects over the 10-year observation period corresponded to an age effect of 3.9 years.

Prehospital stroke scales in urban environments: A systematic review
Conclusions: Prehospital stroke scales varied in their accuracy and missed up to 30% of acute strokes in the field. Inconsistencies in performance may be due to sample size disparity, variability in stroke scale training, and divergent provider educational standards. Although LAPSS performed more consistently, visual comparison of graphical analysis revealed that LAPSS and CPSS had similar diagnostic capabilities.

Presence and progression of white matter hyperintensities and cognition: A meta-analysis
Conclusions: The small but robust and consistent effects of WMHs on all cognitive domains suggest a more global effect on cognition than previously thought. Progression of WMHs was associated with even worse cognitive functioning, most pronounced in attention and executive functioning.
