Microglial activation in recent ischemic stroke: comparison of two TSPO tracers
Conclusion: The apparent intensity of microglial activation in ischemic stroke is closely comparable between 18F-GE180 and 11C-(R)-PK11195 PET. Research Support: The study is funded by a grant from NIHR and supported by GEHC and INMIND (EC FP7).

Hibernating ground squirrels provide clues to new stroke treatments
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) In the fight against brain damage caused by stroke, researchers have turned to an unlikely source of inspiration: hibernating ground squirrels. While the animals' brains experience dramatically reduced blood flow during hibernation, just like human patients after a certain type of stroke, the squirrels emerge from their extended naps suffering no ill effects. Now, a team of NIH-funded scientists has identified a potential drug that could grant the same resilience to stroke patients.

Combined robot motor assistance with neural circuit-based virtual reality (NeuCir-VR) lower extremity rehabilitation training in patients after stroke: a study protocol for a single-centre randomised controlled trial
Introduction
Improving lower extremity motor function is the focus and difficulty of post-stroke rehabilitation treatment. More recently, robot-assisted and virtual reality (VR) training are commonly used in post-stroke rehabilitation and are considered feasible treatment methods. Here, we developed a rehabilitation system combining robot motor assistance with neural circuit-based VR (NeuCir-VR) rehabilitation programme involving procedural lower extremity rehabilitation with reward mechanisms, from muscle strength training, posture control and balance training to simple and complex ground walking training. The study aims ...

P162/231 Good Clinical Outcome Decreases With Number of Retrieval Attempts in Posterior Circulation Stroke Thrombectomy
ConclusionSuccessful reperfusion within the first three retrieval attempts is associated with improved clinical outcome compared to patients without reperfusion. We conclude that at least three retrieval attempts should be performed in EVT of posterior circulation strokes.Disclosure of InterestDr Thomall: personal fees from Acandis, grants and personal fees from Bayer, personal fees from Bristol Myers Squibb/Pfizer, Boehringer Ingelheim, Daiichi Sankyo, Portola, Stryker outside the submitted work.

NIH awards $40 million in grants to reduce stroke disparities in the US
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) Four research centers will develop high-impact culturally tailored interventions aimed at lowering stroke risk among racial and ethnic minorities in the United States. Together the centers are expected to receive $40 million in funding over five years, contingent on the availability of funds from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, part of the National Institutes of Health.

Cortical Activity Modulation by Botulinum Toxin Type A in Patients with Post-Stroke Arm Spasticity: Real and Imagined Hand Movement (P1.142)
CONCLUSIONS:Study of 2 age-matched groups with mild and severe weakness demonstrated different effect of BoNT-lowered spasticity on motor system engagement. Group A during movement imagery at maximum BoNT effect manifested deactivation of visual and default mode system, perhaps a change from visual to kinesthetic imagery, with cerebellum participating. Group B during movement also manifested motor pattern normalization, especially reduced activation extent.Study Supported by: IGA MH CR grant NT13575.Disclosure: Dr. Hlustik has nothing to disclose.

Accuracy of mobile devices for acute stroke head CT interpretation among Neurologists in training. (P1.083)
Conclusions: Among neurologists in training (residents and stroke fellows) mobile devices had good to excellent sensitivity for identification of AIS. Mobile devices also has good to excellent specificity for the identification of the HMCA. Larger studies testing newer generation mobile devices and a greater breadth of findings are needed for comparison with traditional PACs interpretation prior to routine clinical practice.Disclosure: Dr. Khandelwal has nothing to disclose.

Capital idea: Trenton health system launches region's first mobile stroke unit
Capital Health is hitting the streets in Mercer County Monday with the region ’s first mobile stroke unit.
“What we have is a stroke-ready hospital on wheels,” said Dr. Michael Stiefel, director of the Capital Institute for Neurosciences and the Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center at Capital Health in Trenton. “We can bring this to patients, rather than bring patients to the hospital, when time is critical.”
The mobile unit was funded through a portion of a $2 million grant the health system…
