Stress resilience in male adolescents and subsequent stroke risk: cohort study
Conclusions Stress susceptibility and, therefore, psychosocial stress may be implicated in the aetiology of stroke. This association may be explained, in part, by poorer physical fitness. Effective prevention might focus on behaviour/lifestyle and psychosocial stress.

Long-term disability after lacunar stroke: Secondary prevention of small subcortical strokes
Conclusions: In lacunar stroke patients, older age was associated with worsening long-term disability, even without recurrence. Worse long-term function was associated with diabetes, cognitive status, and prior stroke, and regional differences may be attributable to variations in health care delivery or scale interpretation.

Weather as physiologically equivalent was not associated with ischemic stroke onsets in Vienna, 2004-2010.
Abstract Stroke rates were found to have seasonal variations. However, previous studies using air temperature, humidity, or air pressure separately were not adequate, and the study catchment was not clearly drawn. Therefore, here we proposed to use a thermal index called physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) that incorporates air temperature, humidity, wind speed, cloud cover, air pressure and radiation flux from a biometeorological approach to estimate the effect of weather as physiologically equivalent on ischemic stroke onsets in an Austrian population. Eight thousand four hundred eleven stroke events in...

Delays in Door-to-Needle Time for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Emergency Department: A Comprehensive Stroke Center Experience (P4.273)
Conclusions:Important and common causes of delay in IVT for AIS were identified in a review of charts at our comprehensive stroke center. The authors recommend strategies to achieve faster DTN time for each of the delaying factor categories including faster acquisition and interpretation of stroke imaging, more effective triage protocols, and faster blood pressure control for AIS patients who are eligible for IVT.Disclosure: Dr. Mowla has nothing to disclose.

Distribution of risk factors differs from coronary heart disease and stroke in China: a national population survey
Conclusions The distribution of risk factors for CHD and stroke were substantial differences. More specific prevention and control measures should be formulated according to the distribution differences of risk factors related to CVD.

Clinical Features and Functional Outcome of Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack
Conclusions: Atherothrombotic stroke with concomitant vascular risk factors were more frequent in the stroke patients with than without previous TIA. Antithrombotic therapy was conducted only in one-third of the patients even after TIA. The stroke patients with history of TIA were at great risk of disabling stroke.

Vomiting should be a prompt predictor of stroke outcome
Conclusions Compared with patients without vomiting, the risk of death was significantly higher in patients with vomiting at the onset of stroke. Vomiting should be an early predictor of the outcome.

Herpes zoster as a risk factor for stroke and TIA: A retrospective cohort study in the UK
Conclusion: HZ is an independent risk factor for vascular disease in the UK population, particularly for stroke, TIA, and MI in subjects affected before the age of 40 years. In older subjects, better ascertainment of vascular risk factors and earlier intervention may explain the reduction in risk of stroke after the occurrence of HZ.

The Presence of Neurology Impacting Door to Needle Time in Acute Stroke (P7.131)
CONCLUSIONS:Overall, it appears that the stroke protocol process runs more effectively and rapidly with a neurologist present at the bedside. Possible solutions to improve door to needle time include having a neurologist in house 24-7 or a resident driven protocol.Study Supported by:Disclosure: Dr. Kurowski has nothing to disclose.

Awareness of Stroke and Knowledge of its Warning Signs and Risk Factors in a Developing Country (P7.133)
CONCLUSIONS: The study clearly revealed lack of public’s knowledge about stroke, its warning symptoms and risk factors in the community investigated. Improvement in stroke awareness level can be achieved by health education utilizing the media tools preferred by the targeted population.

Paramedic Initiated Lisinopril For Acute Stroke Treatment (PIL-FAST): results from the pilot randomised controlled trial
Conclusions It is possible to conduct a paramedic initiated double-blind RCT of a treatment for acute stroke. However, to perform a definitive RCT in a reasonable timescale, a large number of trained paramedics across several ambulance services would be needed to recruit the number of patients likely to be required. Clinical trial registration http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01066572.

Mechanisms and Outcomes of Ischemic Stroke in Pregnancy and Postpartum: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study (P3.070)
CONCLUSIONS: Women with pregnancy-associated ischemic strokes were younger and had fewer vascular risk factors when compared with other young women with ischemic strokes. Outcomes were similar in the two groups, with a substantial proportion of poor outcomes in both groups. Our results are limited by the small sample size and retrospective nature of the study. Larger studies are needed to better characterize the pathophysiology of pregnancy-associated stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Miller has nothing to disclose. Dr. Yaghi has nothing to disclose.

Trends in admission blood pressure and stroke outcome in patients with acute stroke and transient ischemic attack in a National Acute Stroke registry
Objective: Elevated blood pressure (BP) is common during an acute stroke and is associated with unfavorable outcome. Management of hypertension has improved in recent years. We aimed to evaluate trends in admission BP levels in patients admitted with acute stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) over the past decade. Methods: Data were based on the National Acute Stroke Israeli Registry. The study population comprised 6177 patients, aged at least18 years admitted for acute stroke (4382 ischemic stroke and 476 intracerebral hemorrhage) or TIA (1227) and had data on BP levels on admission. We studied temporal trends in ad...
