Wallenberg's lateral medullary syndrome in an adolescent
Concussion and sports-related injuries are common in children. Given the heightened awareness about concussion in recent years, there has been an increase in the diagnosis of concussion in children presenting to the emergency department with head injuries. Often, little consideration is given to other etiologies of neurologic symptoms such as stroke. This may be due to the fact that stroke is uncommon in children when compared to adults. However, there are several case reports of arterial dissection and stroke in the pediatric age group resulting from trivial trauma.

Hyperthermia and Severe Rhabdomyolysis From Synthetic Cannabinoids Am J Emerg Med 2016;34:121.e1-2. Doi: 10.1016/j.Ajem.2015.05.052. Epub 2015 Jun 12
We read with great interest the case report by Sweeney et al. [1] discussing severe hyperthermia and rhabdomyolysis following a reported exposure to a synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist (SCRA). SCRA exposures, first reported in NYC in 2010, were at an all-time high in 2015 [2]. Confirmed cases of significant SCRA-associated acute kidney injury, stroke, and acute psychosis are reported [3,4].

Higher prehospital blood pressure prolongs door to needle thrombolysis times: a target for quality improvement?
Per the American Heart Association guidelines, blood pressure (BP) should be less than 185/110 to be eligible for stroke thrombolysis. No studies have focused on prehospital BP and its impact on door to needle (DTN) times. We hypothesized that DTN times would be longer for patients with higher prehospital BP.

The Utility of Bolus IV Nicardipine for Hypertensive Emergencies in the Emergency Department
We describe the first two documented cases of use of nicardipine administered as an IV bolus dose in the emergency department for hypertensive emergencies involving acute ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.

Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome: a rare postoperative complication of carotid endarterectomy
Acute neurological deficits are common presentations to the emergency department. Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome, a rare phenomenon which can occur within one month following carotid surgical revascularization, may be challenging for the emergency physician to diagnose in the setting of an acute neurological presentation. Carotid arterial disease contributes 15-20% of ischemic cerebrovascular accidents and surgical revascularization is the commonest intervention for preventing stroke in patients with significant carotid disease.

Protective effects of cyclosporine A and hypothermia on neuronal mitochondria in a rat asphyxial cardiac arrest model
Cyclosporine A (CsA) was neuroprotective in the settings of traumatic brain injury and stroke. We sought to investigate the protective effects of CsA and hypothermia on neuronal mitochondria after cardiac arrest.Methods and Results.Five groups were included: sham (S), normothermia (N), CsA (C), hypothermia (H), and CsA plus hypothermia (C+H). Cardiac arrest was induced by 10min of asphyxia. CsA (10mg/kg) was administered immediately after return of spontaneous circulation in the CsA groups. Temperature of the rats was maintained at 33±0.5°C after return of spontaneous circulation in the hypothermia groups.

Brugada Electrocardiogram Pattern Induced by Cannabis; is cannabis safe?
The objective of this study was to present a case report that bring attention to relationship between cannabis consumption and Brugada electrocardiogram pattern (BEP). Here we present a case of a 19-year-old male patient with symptomatic BEP induced after cannabis consumption. With the potential for more widespread legalization of cannabis several studies are raising the issue of adverse vascular effects of cannabis, including myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, cardiomyopathy, stroke, transient ischemic attack, and cannabis arteritis.

Admission serum lactate predicts mortality in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
Aneurysmal SAH is the most devastating form of hemorrhagic stroke. Primary predictors of mortality are based on initial clinical presentation. Initial serum lactic acid levels have been shown to predict mortality and disease severity. Initial serum lactate may be an objective predictor or mortality.
