Beliefs of rehabilitation professionals towards guided self-rehabilitation contracts for post stroke hemiparesis.
Conclusions The strategy of asking patients to perform exercises alone, in the practice or at home, is still not accepted by a large proportion of physical therapy professionals as compared with students or with physicians. Most therapists still see a <5-h weekly duration of exercise as sufficient after stroke. Few therapists are ready to utilize the persistence of behavior-induced brain plasticity regardless of age or delay after the lesion. PMID: 28956737 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Awareness of Risk Factors and Warning Signs of Stroke in a Nigeria University
This study assessed awareness of stroke risk factors and warning signs among students and staff of Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria.Methods: This was a cross sectional survey involving 994 (500 students and 494 staff) respondents. Information on the awareness of stroke risk factors and warning signs was collected with the aid of a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis.Results: Weakness (66.2%) was the most commonly identified warning sign of stroke with more staff (69.8%) identifying correctly than students (62.6%). Hypertension (83.4%) was the most commonly identif...

Evaluation of Sexual Functions of Women with Stroke (P7.157)
CONCLUSIONS:Sexual functions are affected negatively in women with stroke and considered to be associated with increased disability, levels of independence and accompanied depression, and age. Therefore, women with stroke should also be evaluated as to sexual functions during the follow-up.Study Supported by:NoneDisclosure: Dr. Gumus has nothing to disclose.

White Matter Changes on Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Risk Factor for Stroke in an African Population?
Background: White matter changes are frequently observed incidental findings in elderly individuals. Many studies in Europe and the United States have assessed the association of white matter changes with stroke and other diseases. No similar study has been conducted in sub-Saharan Africa, where risk factors for stroke differ. Our objective was to explore the association between severity of white matter changes (based on visual rating scales) and stroke in a Nigerian population.Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of 50 patients were retrospectively assessed and scored using 3 different visual rating scales (by ...

Effects of Stroke Education Using an Animated Cartoon and a Manga on Elementary School Children
Background: Stroke education for the youth is expected to reduce prehospital delay by informing the bystander of appropriate action to take and providing knowledge to prevent onset of stroke in future. Previously, we developed effective teaching materials consisting of an animated cartoon and a Manga for junior high school students. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of our educational materials for stroke education taught by schoolteachers to elementary school children.Methods: Using our teaching materials, a 30-minute lesson was given by trained general schoolteachers. Questionnaires ...

Significance of Periclot MMP-9 in Ischemic Stroke Patients Undergoing Intra-arterial Interventions (P4.303)
CONCLUSIONS: Decreased periclot MMP-9 may be predictive of HT after ischemic stroke, contrasting with previous work demonstrating elevated peripheral MMP-9 as predictive of HT. Increased periclot MCP-4 and angiogenin expression, as well as decreased numbers of circulating monocytes, may serve as additional predictive markers of HT. Future work should measure the activity of periclot MMP-9. Study Supported by: Shimojani, LLC and NIH (DJ).Disclosure: Dr. Song has nothing to disclose. Dr. Prager has nothing to disclose.

Short-term Bleeding Events Observed with Clopidogrel Loading in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients
Discussion: Contrary to our original hypothesis, patients with AIS receiving clopidogrel loading doses within 24 hours of symptom onset did not appear to experience a higher rate of new serious bleeding events during acute hospitalization when compared with patients who did not receive loading doses. The Platelet-Oriented Inhibition in New TIA and Minor Ischemic Stroke trial is expected to provide insight into the safety of clopidogrel loading as an acute intervention after cerebral ischemia.

Quality Improvement Project: Improving the Time To Treatment in Inpatient Acute Ischemic Stroke (P7.130)
Conclusion/Proposal: In the inpatient setting there was a significant delay in the time to CT-scan and to t-PA; the main source of delay was time to CT-scan. There are many possible reasons for the delay: location of the CT-scanner, unfamiliarity with strokes by non-neurology staff, ready availability of t-PA. We proposed to target house staff education and t-PA availability. We developed a "stroke-code" checklist to be distributed to house staff from different services after a small explanatory lecture. We also developed an order form to create a zero wait time for t-PA, allowing the RN/PCA to be the first one served in t...
