Doctors 'Reverse' Brain Bleed Procedure To Treat Critically Ill Stroke Patients
Doctors at Southampton's teaching hospitals have reversed a procedure developed to stem bleeding in the brain to help them save the lives of seriously ill stroke patients. � The innovation, which involves placing a thin wire into the groin and passing it up to the skull using high definition TV images, is based on a technique originally used as an alternative to surgery for patients with ruptured brain aneurysms - fluid-filled bulges which force blood vessels to tear...

New Frontiers In Trauma And Stroke Recovery: Teaching The Brain To Speak Again
Cynthia Thompson, a world-renowned researcher on stroke and brain damage, discussed her groundbreaking research on aphasia and the neurolinguistic systems it affects at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). An estimated one million Americans suffer from aphasia, affecting their ability to understand and/or produce spoken and/or written language. Thompson, Northwestern's Ralph and Jean Sundin Professor of Communication Sciences, participated in a media briefing on "Tools for Regaining Speech" at the Hynes Convention Center...

Thrombolysis and Outcome of Young Stroke Patients Over the Last Decade: Insights From the Nationwide Inpatient Sample
Background: A recent study found a trend toward increasing hospitalizations for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) among young adults, raising concern for this subgroup. In the present study, we evaluated trends of use of thrombolysis and outcome among young adults (19-44 years of age) with AIS using a nationally representative administrative database.Methods: Discharge data were obtained from Nationwide Inpatient Sample between 2001 and 2009. Hospitalizations with a discharge diagnosis of AIS for patients 19 to 44 years of age were included. Use of thrombolysis was determined within this subset. The Cochran–Armitage test was u...

Mechanical Thrombectomy in Acute Stroke: Utilization Variances and Impact of Procedural Volume on Inpatient Mortality
This study examines variances in the allocation of these procedures in the United States at the hospital level. We investigate operative volume across centers performing mechanical revascularization and establish that procedural volume is independently associated with inpatient mortality.Methods: Data was collected using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database in the United States for 2008. Medical centers performing mechanical thrombectomy were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 9th revision codes, and procedural volumes were evaluated according to hospital size, location, control/ownership, geogr...

Teaching Video NeuroImages: Thalamic infarct with pseudo-abducens and vertical gaze palsies and an unusual stroke mechanism
A 32-year-old man presented with confusion and diplopia. His examination showed complete vertical gaze palsy with relatively preserved vertical vestibulo-ocular reflexes, convergence nystagmus on attempted upgaze, alternating adducting hypertrophic skew deviation, limited right eye abduction with esotropia, and right limb ataxia (video on the Neurology® Web site at Neurology.org). MRI showed a left paramedian thalamic infarct (figure 1). Vertical gaze palsy results from damage to the rostral interstitial nucleus of the medial longitudinal fasciculus. The contralateral abduction limitation is consistent with pseudo-abdu...
