Teaching Video NeuroImages: Movement of a paralyzed arm with yawning
A 63-year-old man presented with aphasia and right arm paralysis (Medical Research Council [MRC] grade 0), sparing the leg (video 1 on the Neurology® Web site at Neurology.org). With yawning, his right arm consistently rose to his chest (video 2). Paralysis resumed after yawning. MRI confirmed an acute ischemic stroke in the left middle cerebral artery distribution (figure). This movement ceased after 2 weeks following partial recovery of arm strength (MRC grade 4). This phenomenon, first described in the 1844, was recently coined parakinesia brachialis oscitans. It is speculated to be a release event in which damaged ...

Genetic Association Study of Cognitive Performance (I10-1A)
CONCLUSIONS: SORL1 encodes an apolipoprotein E receptor, and influences cognitive decline. Decreased expression of SORL1 has been associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Our data support SNPs rs2101756 and rs985421 as possible moderators of age-related episodic memory decline. Study Supported by: NINDS R37 NS029993, Evelyn F.

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.

Body Mass Index and Stroke Subtype in a Young Adult Stroke Population (I12-5D)
CONCLUSIONS: In our group of young adult stroke patients, we found the highest BMI in the group with intracranial atherosclerosis. Although this group represented a small number of patients, this young adult population is at increased risk for future strokes. It is important to educate them on lifestyle modifications such as weight loss and exercise in addition to the treatment of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia.Disclosure: Dr. Youn 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.

Assessment of Stroke Knowledge and Attitudes among Riyadh Medical Students: A Cross-sectional Study (P2.303)
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated average medical students’ knowledge of stroke and identified knowledge gaps in different domains of basic stroke knowledge. Stroke education modules should be incorporated into the preclinical curriculum and neurology or stroke clerkships should be mandatory for all students. Emphasizing the high risk of stroke recurrence in patients with minor or transient symptoms is crucial for decreasing the burden of stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Al Zwahmah has received personal compensation in an editorial capacity for Neurosciences Journal.

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 (I1-2B)
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.
