Rate of Utilization and Determination of Withdrawal of Care among Acute Ischemic Stroke Patient Treated with Thrombolytics (P02.002)
CONCLUSIONS: Our results identify several individual and institution related factors that determine the use of "withdrawal of care" among thrombolytic treated ischemic stroke patients. The excessively high mortality and resource utilization mandates a more evidence based policy for "withdrawal of care" in these patients.Disclosure: Dr. Suri has nothing to disclose.

Muscle Pain Intensity and Pressure Pain Threshold Changes in Different Periods of Stroke Patients.
CONCLUSIONS: In stroke patients, spontaneous muscle pain in the hemiparetic side is a common finding. Bilaterally symmetric changes of pressure pain threshold are probably caused by central sensitization mechanisms.

Diagnosing Stroke in Acute Vertigo: The HINTS Family of Eye Movement Tests and the Future of the “Eye ECG”
Semin Neurol 2015; 35: 506-521DOI: 10.1055/s-0035-1564298Patients who present to the emergency department with symptoms of acute vertigo or dizziness are frequently misdiagnosed. Missed opportunities to promptly treat dangerous strokes can result in poor clinical outcomes. Inappropriate testing and incorrect treatments for those with benign peripheral vestibular disorders leads to patient harm and unnecessary costs. Over the past decade, novel bedside approaches to diagnose patients with the acute vestibular syndrome have been developed and refined. A battery of three bedside tests of ocular motor physiology known as “HI...

Teaching NeuroImages: Acute isolated oculomotor nerve palsy of microvascular origin
A 73-year-old man presented with acute-onset, right-sided ptosis and pain above the right eye. His medical history noted hypertension and diabetes. On physical examination, an isolated right oculomotor palsy was noted with preserved pupillary function. An MRI scan revealed isolated swelling of superior, inferior, and medial rectus muscle at the right side (figure). No cause other than presumed microvascular oculomotor nerve ischemia was shown.1 In patients aged 50 years or older, isolated ocular motor nerve palsies are most likely due to microvascular ischemia, but other etiologies such as aneurysm, brainstem stroke, and m...

How Virtual Reality Is Expanding Health Care
Clinicians can help patients recover from strokes while they’re anywhere in the world—even states or countries far away from each other—by using a combination of robotics and virtual-reality devices.
It’s happening at Georgia Institute of Technology, where Nick Housley runs the Sensorimotor Integration Lab. There, patients undergoing neurorehabilitation, including those recovering from a stroke, are outfitted with robotic devices called Motus, which are strapped to their arms and legs. The goal: to speed up recovery and assist with rehabilitation exercises. Patients and practitioners using the syste...

One nerve connects your vital organs, sensing and shaping your health. If we learn to control it, the future of medicine will be electric.When Maria Vrind, a former gymnast from Volendam in the Netherlands, found that the only way she could put her socks on in the morning was to lie on her back with her feet in the air, she had to accept that things had reached a crisis point. “I had become so stiff I couldn’t stand up,” she says. “It was a great shock because I’m such an active person.”It was 1993. Vrind was in her late 40s and working two jobs, athletics coach and a carer for disabled ...

Healing through music
The last time I had a mammogram, I got a big surprise — and it was a good one. A string quartet was playing just outside the doors of the breast imaging center, and my thoughts immediately shifted from “What are they going to find on the mammogram?” to “Is that Schubert, or Beethoven?” By the time my name was called, I had almost forgotten why I was there.
The unexpected concert was the work of Holly Chartrand and Lorrie Kubicek, music therapists and co-coordinators of the Environmental Music Program at Massachusetts General Hospital. But bringing music to hospital corridors is just a sideline for music therapist...

Blood Transfusion Frequency and Indications in Yemeni Children with Sickle Cell Disease.
Conclusion: Intermittent blood transfusion remains a common practice for the management of children with acute SCD complications. Main indications were acute anemic crises, severe pain crises, ACS, and stroke. In limited resource settings, such as Yemen, conservative transfusion policy appears to be appropriate.
