Large-scale identification of patients with cerebral aneurysms using natural language processing
Conclusions: We harnessed the power of the EMR by applying NLP to obtain a large cohort of patients with intracranial aneurysms and their matched controls. Such algorithms can be generalized to other diseases for epidemiologic and genetic studies.

Aerobic exercise and vascular cognitive impairment: A randomized controlled trial
Conclusions: This study provides preliminary evidence for the efficacy of 6 months of thrice-weekly progressive aerobic training in community-dwelling adults with mild SIVCI, relative to usual care plus education. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01027858. Classification of evidence: This study provides Class II evidence that for adults with mild SIVCI, an aerobic exercise program for 6 months results in a small, significant improvement in ADAS-Cog performance.

How long should we wait to start oral anticoagulation after cardioembolic stroke?
As a neurology resident many years ago, I carried in the pocket of my white coat a small notebook. I used this as a quick reference guide, recording the diagnostic and treatment recommendations of the neurology professors training me. I still have the book, and occasionally amuse myself by perusing the entry for acute stroke, satisfying in its pure simplicity: "If Afib present > start IV heparin; if no Afib > start aspirin." As is so often the case, clinical trial data soon enough proved this received wisdom wrong. In the Heparin in Acute Embolic Stroke Trial, which enrolled patients with stroke and atrial fibrillati...

Getting the right prescription for rehabilitation after stroke
Clinicians working with stroke survivors believe that poststroke rehabilitation works, but the evidence base to convince a wider audience is lacking. There are several contributory factors for this. First, we do not know how much of an intervention to provide, although the differences in outcome due to an extra 30 hours1 compared to 300 hours2 of upper limb treatment suggests more is better. Second, we are not sure when to intervene, although the heightened effect of training due to injury-induced biological events seen early after stroke in rodent models (so-called spontaneous biological recovery3) suggests earlier is bet...

A call for formal telemedicine training during stroke fellowship
During the 20 years since US Food and Drug Administration approval of IV tissue plasminogen activator for acute ischemic stroke, vascular neurology consultation via telemedicine has contributed to an increased frequency of IV tissue plasminogen activator administration and broadened geographic access to the drug. Nevertheless, a growing demand for acute stroke coverage persists, with the greatest disparity found in rural communities underserved by neurologists. To provide efficient and consistent acute care, formal training in telemedicine during neurovascular fellowship is warranted. Herein, we describe our experiences in...

Comment: Telemedicine training during stroke fellowship
In 2009, the American Heart Association recommended the implementation of telemedicine within stroke systems of care.1 Telestroke services have expanded throughout the United States, and have led to improvements in access to care, recombinant tissue plasminogen activator utilization, and cost-effectiveness. Medical trainees must be educated to utilize these new technologies and health care delivery models. There is limited information on the training of telemedicine providers and what education is necessary. A recent article recommended telemedicine-related enhancements to Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Educati...

Combining rTMS and CIMT: A "one-size-fits-all" therapy for congenital hemiparesis?
In the past decade, we have experienced dramatic progress in the treatment of children with congenital hemiparesis.1 One important step was the introduction of intensive rehabilitation approaches based on principles of motor learning and neuroplasticity, such as constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) and intensive bimanual training. Often these approaches are implemented in socially stimulating "camp" environments.

Results of Systemizing Stroke Care in Acute Endovascular Patients (P2.308)
CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of a streamlined routing and transfer process significantly shortened treatment times and decreased complications in our stroke patients. Our pre-established expedited triage, imaging, stroke physician expertise, and mechanical clot retrieval proficiency resulted in more favorable outcomes. With these changes, patients receive the most specialized endovascular care in a highly efficient manner.Disclosure: Dr. Hawkins has nothing to disclose. Dr. Martin has nothing to disclose.

Does Comprehensive Stroke Center Recommended Nurse Training Result in Earlier In-Hospital Stroke Recognition? (P2.324)
Conclusions:There was a delay in initiation of stroke alert in areas where staff did not receive extra training per CSC guidelines, though this did not reach significance due difference in sample size. Expanding the CSC training to all staff would benefit hospital-wide stroke alerts. More data is needed to confirm this.Disclosure: Dr. Gregath has nothing to disclose.

Longer Door to Needle Times When Fellows Administer Tissue Plasminogen Activator via Telemedicine (P2.359)
Conclusions: DTN was longer over TM than in our ED. While our findings imply that NFVs may have taken a longer time to administer IV tPA, further studies are needed to determine what are the causative factors and how to address them.Disclosure: Dr. Jagolino has nothing to disclose.

Teaching a Neurology Continuing Medical Education Course to Ghanaian Physician Assistants (P1.281)
Conclusions: The provision of education in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions to primary care providers is one intervention that can address the limited supply of neurologists in lower income countries. This study suggests that a continuing medical education course can increase participant self-confidence in major topics in neurology and that the most valuable contribution of an educational intervention could be instruction in the neurological exam.Disclosure: Dr. O'Donnell has nothing to disclose.
