E-132 A retrospective analysis of stroke code specificity in predicting acute ischemic events
ConclusionsThis retrospective analysis of stroke codes at MGUH during a 6-month period was 29% specific in predicting AIS. This is significantly lower than what was found in previous studies. Of stroke mimics, TME was the major etiology encompassing 43.6% of cases. The results of our study suggest additional stroke education may be needed for non-neurologists and ancillary staff to appropriately recognize stroke symptoms to better improve the utilization of hospital resources and provide appropriate and efficient care.Disclosures A.

Usefulness and effectiveness of herbal medicines in stroke: Narrative review
ABSTRACT Stroke causes various disabilities, reducing the quality of life and motivation for life. It is also one of the major causes of death in the aging population. Therefore, prevention and treatment are crucial. In conventional medicine, thrombolysis and various surgical techniques have been developed and used to treat stroke, but, despite the advancements and benefits, many patients still experience various disabilities. In East Asian countries, herbal prescriptions have been widely used for the treatment and prevention of stroke. Recently, the efficacy of herbal complexes as an adjunct to conventional treatment has ...

Post-stroke spasticity and shoulder pain prevalence decrease over the last 15 years
Conclusions Disabling spasticity and shoulder pain frequency in recent post-stroke patients decreased over the last 15 years, and functional abilities both at admission and discharge improved. Confirmation of these results in a multicentric study may be important evidence of an improvement in stroke healthcare both in stroke and physical and rehabilitation medicine units in the last 10 years in France and could affect future estimations of the need for rehabilitation care after stroke.

Characterizing Beliefs about Stroke and Walking for Exercise among Seniors from Four Racial/Ethnic Minority Communities
We described and compared seniors ’ stroke-related health beliefs among four racial/ethnic communities to inform a culturally-tailored stroke prevention walking intervention. Specific attention was paid to how seniors combined pathophysiology-based biomedical beliefs with non-biomedical beliefs. We conducted twelve language-concor dant, structured focus groups with African American, Chinese American, Korean American, and Latino seniors aged 60 years and older with a history of hypertension (n = 132) to assess stroke-related health beliefs. Participants were asked their beliefs about stroke mechanism and prevention st...

Which clinical and sociodemographic determinants are associated with self-perceived manual ability at one year after stroke?
CONCLUSION: In order to understand self-perceived difficulties in manual ability in daily activities in persons with stroke, assessments of UE motor function and activity capacity are recommended. Implications for rehabilitation The ultimate goal of the upper extremity rehabilitation after stroke is to regain ability to use the UE in daily activities that are important to the individual in his or her own environment. This requires a good understanding of factors that are associated with self-perceived manual ability in order to tailor effective rehabilitation interventions. Upper extremity motor function and activity capac...

Stroke survivors' perceptions of their sedentary behaviours three months after stroke.
Conclusions: This information will inform evidence-based sedentary behaviour interventions after stroke.Implications for rehabilitationHigher levels of sedentary behaviours are associated with poor health and stroke survivors are highly sedentary.Stroke survivors have complex reasons for spending time in sedentary behaviours including fatigue, pain, fear of falling and environmental barriers.Future interventions should educate stroke survivors on the health consequences of sedentary behaviours and encourage an increased awareness of time spent sedentary.Supporting stroke survivors to identify enjoyable and achievable activ...

Unusually High Prevalence of Stroke and Cerebral Vasculopathy in Hemoglobin SC Disease: A Retrospective Single Institution Study
Conclusion: There is a distinct subset of individuals with HbSC who developed overt, silent stroke, and cerebral vasculopathy. A female predominance and association with Rec VOCs were identified in our cohort; however, larger clinical trials are needed to identify and confirm specific clinical and laboratory markers associated with stroke and vasculopathy in HbSC disease.Acta Haematol

Triage in Stroke Units: Physicians Perceptions and Ethical Issues (P02.008)
CONCLUSIONS: Despite a vocation to take care of all patients, triage practices are pointed out during stroke unit admission. They depend on the role of each physician in the acute stroke management. They are the integration of a distributive justice theory, of contextual data, but also of subjective clinician evaluation. The triage decisions are ineluctable because of the scarcity of resource but are complex and difficult to take for clinicians, because they face to the "rule of rescue". These medical choices involve also the values of the society.Disclosure: Dr. Yger has nothing to disclose. Dr. Crozier has nothing to dis...

P 219. Navigated repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation in stroke rehabilitation (randomized blind sham-controlled study), Preliminary results: safety and tolerability
Conclusion: Repeated nTMS is safe and effective add-method in motor post-stroke rehabilitation, but continuous study and forming protocols are necessary to validate this method.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01652677.
