UCLA Health launches pioneering mobile stroke unit with support from L.A. County
Roughly every 40 seconds, someone in the United States will have a stroke. Almost every four minutes, one of those people will die as a result. Against that backdrop, UCLA Health has officially launched the first mobile stroke unit on the West Coast, enabling rapid delivery of brain-saving medications to stroke patients who might otherwise face debilitating delays in treatment. As part of the first phase of a pilot program, the specialized ambulance unit and highly trained personnel began responding in September to select 911 calls in Santa Monica in coordination with the Santa Monica Fire Department. With support from t...

Retention of Stroke Education Provided during Hospitalization: Does Provision of Required Education Increase Stroke Knowledge?
Discussion: While stroke education is required during hospitalization, its ability to produce retention may be poor. We propose study of test-enhanced learning methods through the Targeted Education in Stroke Trial (TEST) to examine the effect of novel teaching methods on patient/caregiver knowledge retention.Intervent Neurol 2018;7:471 –478

MassDevice Q & A: Claret Medical ’ s Azin Parhizgar on trying to make TAVR safer
Cerebral protection developer Claret Medical recently won FDA de novo clearance for its Sentinel device designed to trap blood clots and prevent stroke during heart valve replacement procedures.
The Sentinel uses a pair of filters, 1 in the brachiocephalic artery another in the left common carotid artery, to trap debris released during transcatheter aortic valve replacement that could cause a cerebral embolism.
The device has seen a rough road to approval, however, after missing the primary efficacy endpoint in its pivotal trial. Despite that, the device saw nearly unanimous support from an FDA advisory panel and was c...

COVID-19 Exposed the Faults in America ’s Elder Care System. This Is Our Best Shot to Fix Them
For the American public, one of the first signs of the COVID-19 pandemic to come was a tragedy at a nursing home near Seattle. On Feb. 29, 2020, officials from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Washington State announced the U.S. had its first outbreak of the novel coronavirus. Three people in the area had tested positive the day before; two of them were associated with Life Care Center of Kirkland, and officials expected more to follow soon. When asked what steps the nursing home could take to control the spread, Dr. Jeff Duchin, health officer for Seattle and King County, said he was working w...
