Sex Disparities in Discharge Ambulation Status after Acute Ischemic Stroke: The Florida-Puerto Rico Collaboration to Reduce Stroke Disparities (FL-PR CReSD) (P5.145)
Conclusions:Only half of AIS survivors were able to ambulate independently after stroke at discharge. Independent ambulation at discharge was less likely achieved in women than men, particularly among patients who were able to independently ambulate before stroke. Future studies should examine the underlying causes of worse ambulation outcomes in women.Disclosure: Dr. Oluwole has nothing to disclose. Dr. Wang has nothing to disclose.

Increased Prevalence of Early Post Stroke Depression Among Single Women after Ischemic Stroke. (P5.147)
Conclusions:PSD is very frequent, affecting nearly half of female stroke patients, particularly if they are single. The symptoms may be somatic, affecting energy levels and sleep. Identification of patients at high risk of PSD will enable early treatment, with improved outcomes and quality of life.Study Supported by: Ethel and James Flinn FoundationDisclosure: Dr. Kucab has received personal compensation for activities with National Hemophilia Foundation as a consultant.

Characterization of pain and fatigue following deployment-related mild traumatic brain injury (P5.149)
Conclusions:This exploratory analysis suggests that severity of headache pain and degree of fatigue are interrelated following mTBI, and the most prominent dimensions of fatigue are general, mental and reduced activity, rather than reduced motivation.Study Supported by:National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Clinical Neuroscience ProgramDisclosure: Dr. Lewis has nothing to disclose.

A pilot study to examine the effects of a multimodal sensory stimulation protocol for unilateral spatial neglect rehab in subacute MCA stroke (P5.153)
Conclusions:This pilot study suggests that a multimodal simultaneous peripheral and central sensory stimulation technique targeting in subacute MCA stroke cases with neglect can improve their clinical outcomes. This needs to be replicated in future studies.Disclosure: Dr. Ayad has nothing to disclose. Dr. Emara has nothing to disclose. Dr. Zaki has nothing to disclose. Dr. Mohammed has nothing to disclose.

Evaluation of possible role of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for dysphagic patients with brain stem infarction. (P5.156)
Conclusions:the study recommends the early application of rTMS of both cortical swallowing areas for patients with brain stem infarction as it has a potential rapid and maintained improving effect of the swallowing function and hence decreasing the burden of early poor outcome.Disclosure: Dr. tageldin has nothing to disclose.

Harmonizing Together: Speech and Music Therapy and Support for Patients and Partners with PPA (P5.157)
Conclusions:The reports of improvement in caregiver health, social participation of patients, and functional communication are in line with the group’s focus and goals. In contrast, more comprehensive knowledge of the disease process may have led patients and caregivers to experience greater feelings of guilt and fear. Our qualitative observations and reports from participants indicated that the most beneficial parts of the group were raising patients’ confidence in communication and allowing both patients and families suffering from PPA to connect with one another.Study Supported by:Funding NIH grant NS077059;...

Dalfampridine Treatment in Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) (P5.202)
Conclusions:This study failed to find a statistically significant benefit of dalfampridine in NAION, an infarct in the optic nerve. However, 7 patients did show improvement as defined by VA of 0.1 logMAR or more on drug and not placebo, and 5 patients showed an improvement of VA as defined by 0.3 logMar or more on drug and not placebo. This suggests a possible subgroup of "responders" similar to the findings of dalfampridine in MS. A larger and perhaps longer clinical trial might clarify whether dalfampridine is beneficial for a subgroup of NAION patients.Study Supported by: Acorda TherapeuticsDisclosure: Dr. Moster has no...

Is Endovascular Treatment Beneficial in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with M2 Segment Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion? (P5.253)
Conclusions:A randomized clinical trial should be considered based on the significant reduction in mortality and non-significant increase in functional independence and good quality of life following endovascular treatment in acute ischemic stroke patients with M2-segment occlusion.Disclosure: Dr. Aytac has nothing to disclose.

Outcomes after Endovascular Therapy in a Population with Mild Acute Ischemic Stroke and Large Vessel Occlusion: Does Treatment Help? (P5.254)
Conclusions:It’s unclear whether IAT is beneficial in mild AIS and LVO. Interventional, multi-center studies with larger sample sizes are needed to definitively determine the efficacy of IAT. Though these data come from a small patient population, they offer an insight into the potential safety of IAT in a fragile stroke population.Disclosure: Dr. Fanale has nothing to disclose.

Outcomes after Endovascular Therapy in a Population with Mild Acute Ischemic Stroke: A 6.5 Year Observational Cohort Study at a High-Volume Comprehensive Stroke Center (P5.255)
Conclusions:These data highlight the safety of IAT in patients with mAIS, mirroring the results seen in recent large RCTs in the non-mAIS population. Patients in our study had a zero risk of sICH, and a mortality rate similar to literature examining IV-tPA administration in patients with mAIS. Furthermore, a large proportion of patients showed a clinically meaningful improvement in NIHSS, or were discharged with a favorable mRS.Disclosure: Dr. Fanale has nothing to disclose.

Outcomes for Endovascular Therapy for Large Vessel Occlusion in Patients 80 years and Older (P5.256)
Conclusions:Despite similar stroke severity, initial TICI grading, likelihood of having received IVtPA, and time from last know well to intervention, patients 80+ years who underwent IAT were significantly less likely to be discharged home or to acute rehab and had worse functional outcomes at 90 days. More nuanced analysis is necessary to determine characteristics that may identify patients 80+ who may be more likely to have good clinical outcomes after IAT.Disclosure: Dr. Wilson has nothing to disclose.
