Repetitive hypoxic preconditioning induces an immunosuppressed B cell phenotype during endogenous protection from stroke
Conclusions: Collectively, our data characterize an endogenous neuroprotective phenotype that utilizes adaptive immune mechanisms pre-stroke to protect the brain from injury post-stroke. Future studies to validate the role of B cells in minimizing injury and promoting central nervous system recovery, and to determine whether B cells mediate an adaptive immunity to systemic hypoxia that protects from subsequent stroke, are needed.

Quality of life and functional outcome in early school-aged children after neonatal stroke: A prospective cohort study.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Quality of life (QoL) is recognized internationally as an efficient tool for evaluating health interventions. To our knowledge, QoL has not been specifically assessed in children after neonatal arterial ischemic stroke (AIS). AIM: To study the QoL of early school-aged children who suffered from neonatal AIS, and QoL correlation to functional outcome. METHOD: We conducted a multicenter prospective cohort study as part of a larger study in full-term newborns with symptomatic AIS. Participating families were sent anonymous QoL questionnaires (QUALIN). Functional outcome was measured usi...

Report on the 5‘th scientific meeting of the “Verein zur Förderung des Wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses in der Neurologie” (NEUROWIND e.V.) held in Motzen, Germany, Oct. 25th – Oct. 27th, 2013
Abstract From october 25th - 27th 2013, the 5th NEUROWIND e.V. meeting was held in Motzen, Brandenburg, Germany. This year more than 60 doctoral students and postdocs from over 25 different groups working in German university hospitals or research institutes attended the meeting to discuss their latest findings in the fields of neuroimmunology, neurodegeneration and neurovascular research. All participants appreciated the stimulating environment in Motzen, Brandenburg, and people took the opportunity for scientific exchange, discussion about ongoing projects and already started further collaborations. Like in the...

A Standardized Approach to the Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Its Implications for Clinical Trials
Conclusions. Training with the current method improved accuracy, and reduced variance, of FMA scoring; the 20% FMA variance reduction with training would decrease sample size requirements from 137 to 88 in a theoretical trial aiming to detect a 7-point FMA difference. Minimal detectable change was much smaller than FMA minimal clinically important difference. The variation in FMA gains in relation to baseline FMA suggests that future trials consider a sliding outcome approach when FMA is an outcome measure. The current training approach may be useful for assessing motor outcomes in restorative stroke trials.

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...

Sleeping over a sleep disorder - Awareness of obstructive sleep apnoea as a modifiable risk factor for hypertension and stroke: A survey among health care professionals and medical students
Conclusion: This study reveals dismal level of awareness, among health professionals and medical students, about OSA being an established and modifiable risk factor for hypertension and ischemic stroke.

Predictors of Acute Stroke Mimics in 8187 Patients Referred to a Stroke Service
Conclusions: One third of the patients seen by a stroke team over 10 years had a stroke mimic. Factors associated with a stroke mimic may be ascertained by an emergency physician before calling the stroke team.

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.

Adverse Events with Implantable Deep Brain Stimulators - Trends and Insight from the FDA MAUDE Database, 2001 - 2007 (P02.074)
CONCLUSIONS: The frequency of AEs with DBS devices increased dramatically between 2001 and 2007. Within the accepted limitations of a voluntary database, infection and device malfunction are common AEs and often lead to explantation. More serious events such as death or stroke are uncommon. This study includes larger numbers of AEs than prior published reports and reinforces the need for device registries for long-term safety evaluation.Disclosure: Dr. Diaz has nothing to disclose. Dr. McMurtray has nothing to disclose.

Predictors of Return to Driving After Stroke (P02.265)
Conclusions: Patients with higher FIM cognition and lower extremity Motricity Index scores at admission to inpatient rehabilitation are more likely to return to driving at six months. This model could be used by rehabilitation professionals to help counsel patients and their families and focus treatment goals.

Mapping dysfunctional connectivity in brain injury (P02.267)
Structural brain imaging tools fail to detect pathological changes to brain function in the absence of observable structural damage. Identifying areas of dysfunction in brain injury patients could lead to more sensitive and better targeted therapy. This manuscript proposes a novel methodology for using resting state functional connectivity MRI (fcMRI) to identify dysfunctional cortex. The method compares patterns of connectivity within a patient's brain to those in normal control individuals and identifies areas of the individual's brain from which connectivity is abnormal. I present a patient diagnosed with abulia followi...
