Academic Year-end Changeover and Stroke Outcomes
Lower quality of care and poorer outcomes are suspected when new trainees (eg, residents) start in July in teaching hospitals, the so-called “the July effect.” We evaluated outcomes and processes of care among patients with an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) admitted in July versus other 11 months of the year.

Aspiration Pneumonia in Adults Hospitalized With Stroke at a Large Academic Hospital in Zambia
Discussion PSAP is common and life threatening in Zambia, especially among older participants with severe stroke presentations.

Doctors 'Reverse' Brain Bleed Procedure To Treat Critically Ill Stroke Patients
Doctors at Southampton's teaching hospitals have reversed a procedure developed to stem bleeding in the brain to help them save the lives of seriously ill stroke patients. � The innovation, which involves placing a thin wire into the groin and passing it up to the skull using high definition TV images, is based on a technique originally used as an alternative to surgery for patients with ruptured brain aneurysms - fluid-filled bulges which force blood vessels to tear...

Mechanical Thrombectomy in Acute Stroke: Utilization Variances and Impact of Procedural Volume on Inpatient Mortality
This study examines variances in the allocation of these procedures in the United States at the hospital level. We investigate operative volume across centers performing mechanical revascularization and establish that procedural volume is independently associated with inpatient mortality.Methods: Data was collected using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database in the United States for 2008. Medical centers performing mechanical thrombectomy were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 9th revision codes, and procedural volumes were evaluated according to hospital size, location, control/ownership, geogr...

Teaching NeuroImages: Bilateral hypertrophic olivary degeneration following posterior circulation stroke
A 40-year-old comatose man was brought to the hospital with a history of posterior circulation stroke 4 months earlier due to hypertension. On examination, he had spastic quadriplegia, bilateral extensor plantar reflex, and palatal myoclonus. MRI revealed enlarged olives (figure 1) and chronic infarcts involving midbrain and pons (figure 2) suggestive of hypertrophic olivary degeneration seen after 4 months of insult. Hypertrophic olivary degeneration is a transsynaptic degeneration involving interconnecting fibers of inferior olivary nucleus, red nucleus, and contralateral dentate nucleus forming the 3 corners of the Guil...
