Knowledge Translation in Right Brain Rehabilitation: A Feasibility Study of Prism Treatment After Acute Stroke (P6.210)
Conclusions:Fewer patients had spatial neglect than expected, but we demonstrated feasible knowledge translation for spatial neglect care in an underserved setting. An active-learning approach may be key to clinician engagement. Future research in stroke centers will help clarify the impact of neglect assessment and treatment on quality outcomes.Disclosure: Dr. Barrett has received personal compensation for activities with Kessler Foundation as an employee.

Spatial-Motor Flexibility (SMF) and Post-Stroke Cognitive Recovery (P6.014)
Conclusions:The ability to direct movement flexibly in the side of body-centered space near impaired limbs may be needed for optimal functional stroke recovery. The clicker test provides an easy way to assess this ability and its performance may also reflect functioning of executive-action systems. Further studies examining whether SMF deficits predict cognitive recovery in stroke survivors more generally are needed.Disclosure: Dr. Barrett has received personal compensation for activities with Kessler Foundation as an employee.

The Utility of Factor VIII Infusion in a Rare Case of SHAM Syndrome (P4.343)
Conclusions: Genetic testing confirmed the presence of SHAM syndrome with an 83 kb deletion involving both F8 and BRCC3 genes responsible for severe hemophilia and Moyamoya disease respectively. This case illustrates the first phenotypically and genetically confirmed adult case of SHAM syndrome with intracerebral hemorrhage and highlights the utility/safety of factor VIII infusion in this case.Disclosure: Dr. Roh has nothing to disclose.

Executive function, but not memory, associates with incident coronary heart disease and stroke
Conclusion: Lower executive function, but not memory, is associated with higher risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. Lower executive function, as an independent risk indicator, might better reflect brain vascular pathologies.

Subclinical cerebrovascular disease inversely associates with learning ability: The NOMAS
Conclusions: White matter hyperintensities, a marker of cerebral small vessel disease, may have an impact on learning slope. This suggests that verbal learning performance can be incorporated into neuropsychological measures for vascular cognitive impairment and that cerebrovascular disease discovered on imaging affects the ability to learn new information.

Sleep duration is associated with worse neurocognitive function in Hispanic/Latinos: Results of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) (I9-4A)
CONCLUSIONS: Sleep duration had an inverted J-shaped curvilinear association with neurocognitive function, such that those with longer sleep duration had worse neurocognitive scores.

An Unusual Cause Of Recurrent Ischemic Stroke: Trousseau's Syndrome From Gastric Cancer (P4.231)
CONCLUSIONS: Trousseau’s Syndrome must be considered in those presenting with recurrent strokes with an otherwise negative embolic work up especially in the elderly and those with cancer risk factors. It must prompt the clinician to look for an associated malignancy.Disclosure: Dr. JADEJA has nothing to disclose. Dr. Johnson has nothing to disclose. Dr. Soetanto has nothing to disclose.

DWI Negative Stroke: Learning Points For Imaging In Acute Stroke (P1.037)
CONCLUSIONS: Clinical exam bears more weight than imaging in suspected brainstem infarcts. With the increasing use of DWI as the imaging of choice in acute stroke, DWI negative stroke must be considered in patients who present with classic brain stem infarcts with negative imaging to prevent delay in therapy as these patients may still be a candidate for thrombolysis.Disclosure: Dr. Nalleballe has nothing to disclose.
