Safety of IV thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke related to Chagas disease
Conclusion:
In the largest published series of patients with CD-related stroke treated with IV TPA, we have observed that IV thrombolysis was safely performed and showed no increase of SIH. The diagnosis of CD should not preclude IV thrombolysis in these patients.

Stepping Piezoelectric Actuators with Large Working Stroke for Nano-positioning Systems: A Review
Publication date: Available online 8 April 2019Source: Sensors and Actuators A: PhysicalAuthor(s): Jianping Li, Hu Huang, Takeshi MoritaAbstractPrecision positioning systems with large working stroke (millimeter or more) and micro/nano-scale positioning resolution are widely required in both scientific research and industries. For this kind of applications, piezoelectric materials based actuators show unique advantages and have been widely employed. To overcome the demerit of the limited working stroke for single piezoelectric element, various stepping motion principles have been proposed in the past years, and accordingly...

The Rhino Without It's Sugar (P2.324)
We present a case of a non-diabetic patient with stroke like symptoms that was determined to be due to mucormycosis invading the sphenoid sinus.A 64 year old female was admitted for slurred speech and right-sided weakness. She was brought to the ER after being found unresponsive. Family members stated she had been experiencing difficulty speaking, and mild right facial weakness. She has been complaining of headaches for the past seven months and 15 pound weight loss. On admission, temperature was 98.4°F, BP 122/77, PR 78, and RR 18. Exam was significant for right-sided facial asymmetry/droop, expressive aphasia, and sl...

Environmental Pollution: An Under-recognized Threat to Children’s Health, Especially in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Conclusions
Patterns of disease are changing rapidly in LMICs. Pollution-related chronic diseases are becoming more common. This shift presents a particular problem for children, who are proportionately more heavily exposed than are adults to environmental pollutants and for whom these exposures are especially dangerous. Better quantification of environmental exposures and stepped-up efforts to understand how to prevent exposures that cause disease are needed in LMICs and around the globe.
To confront the global problem of disease caused by pollution, improved programs of public health monitoring and environmental protecti...

Multifocal Micro-Embolic Infarcts in Hypereosinophilic Syndrome: A Case Report (P4.350)
Conclusions: Hypereosinophilic syndromes can be a rare cause of stroke and should be considered especially in those with undetermined stroke mechanisms. HES is potentially treatable and can have a good prognosis but requires timely recognition and a thoughtful approach of potential underlying causes.Disclosure: Dr. Nguyen has nothing to disclose.

A novel microgripper hybrid driven by a piezoelectric stack actuator and piezoelectric cantilever actuators
In this study, a novel microgripper hybrid driven by a PSA and two PCAs is proposed, which can be a better solution for the issue, compared with the previous microgripper using PSA-driven multi-stages displacement amplification mechanism(DAM) or using longer and narrower PCAs. A compact one-stage orthogonalDAM is proposed for the PSA in the microgripper, which can enlarge the grasping stroke and realize parallel grasping movement. The proposed orthogonalDAM is a triangulation amplification-based mechanism with undetermined structural parameters. Bidirectional symmetric input forces/displacements are not required in the pro...
