Recommendations of the Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias Conference
The National Alzheimer's Project Act, signed into law in 2011, mandates a National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease that is updated annually. In the Plan, the term Alzheimer disease includes not only Alzheimer disease (AD) proper, but also several specified related dementias, namely, frontotemporal, Lewy body, vascular, and mixed dementia. In response to a specific action item in the 2012 National Plan, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, in collaboration with the National Institute on Aging, convened panels of experts and conducted a 2-day public conference to develop research priorities and ti...

Correspondence Complexity of the endovascular intervention and clinical outcomes in acute ischaemic stroke
We were particularly interested in the paper by Khatri and colleagues on time to angiographic reperfusion and clinical outcome after acute ischaemic stroke in the Interventional Management of Stroke phase 3 trial (IMS III). We obtained similar results (the odds ratio of favourable outcome [modified Rankin scale 0–1] was significantly decreased by the delay of endovascular treatment conclusion) in the SYNTHESIS Expansion trial, the findings of which were presented at the European Stroke Conference (May 6–9, 2014) but have not yet been submitted for publication.

Assessing and treating higher level somatosensory impairments post stroke.
Abstract Poststroke somatosensory impairment is prevalent, yet commonly used clinical measures lack the sensitivity needed to quantify impairment and detect change due to intervention. This selective review, prepared and presented as a part of the I-Treat Conference (June 22, 2013, Columbus, Ohio), discusses the prevalence of somatosensory impairment after stroke, highlights measures of higher level somatosensory processing, and briefly reviews sensorimotor rehabilitation. The goal of this article is to encourage dialogue regarding the development and use of measures of higher level somatosensory function that wil...

The quest to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation: Fighting the fluttering heart in Singapore
There has been resurgence in the attention placed on pharmacotherapy in atrial fibrillation (AF) recently as specialists in international conferences discuss the utility of novel anticoagulants with caution owing to limited knowledge of the side effect profile in this nascent stage. AF is a well-known risk factor for stroke and has been for more than 20 years, since warfarin was demonstrated to reduce the risk of stroke, with aspirin doing so to a lesser degree.1 Today, there is international variation in the use of warfarin to prevent stroke despite well-established data.2 Singapore finds itself in a peculiar geographical...

Comparison of Intracranial Stent Placement and Best Medical Treatment Alone for Treatment of Symptomatic Intracranial Stenosis (P1.148)
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the higher risk of 1 month TIA/stroke-and/or-deaths, patients undergoing intracranial stent placement have similar rates of TIA/stroke-and/or-deaths at 1 year compared with medical treatment alone.Disclosure: Dr. Jadhav has nothing to disclose.

Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy and Future Risk of Stroke: A Systematic Review (P2.114)
CONCLUSIONS: Hypertension in pregnancy likely carries an increased risk for stroke in later life, especially when associated with pre-eclampsia/eclampsia. There may be benefit in targeting these women for close risk-factor monitoring and control beyond the post-partum period.Disclosure: Dr. Ganesh has nothing to disclose.

The Impact on Radiology Utilization of Disseminating an Analysis on the Value of Neuroimaging Studies in Intracerebral Hemorrhage: The University Hospitals Case Medical Center Comprehensive Stroke Center Experience (P5.145)
CONCLUSIONS: Disseminating the findings of our prior analysis regarding the use of neuroimaging studies for patients with ICH at our institution led to a significant reduction in resource case use for CT and MRI. Neuroimaging resource utilization, fostered by the availability of sophisticated neuroimaging, EMR standard order sets, and clinical trials protocols is an important area for research on the value of our health care. Healthcare value analyses should be driven by medical decision making, patient outcomes and risk then extend to resource utilization and cost.Study Supported by:NADisclosure: Dr. Shams has nothing to ...

Guideline clinical nutrition in patients with stroke
Abstract Stroke is regularly accompanied by dysphagia and other factors associated with decreased nutritional intake. Dysphagia with aspiration pneumonia and insufficient nutritional intake lead to worse outcome after stroke. This guideline is the first chapter of the guideline “Clinical Nutrition in Neurology” of the German Society for Clinical Nutrition (DGEM) which itself is one part of a comprehensive guideline about all areas of Clinical Nutrition. The thirty-one recommendations of the guideline are based on a systematic literature search and review, last updated December 31, 2011. All recommen...
