Early Improvement in NIH Stoke Scale during Inter-hospital Transfer is Common and is Associated with Lower In-hospital Mortality (P3.044)
Conclusions:Early improvement in stroke severity during interhospital transfer is common, and is not confined to patients receiving thrombolysis. These early improvement patients have very low mortality, and it is substantially lower than in those without early improvement, despite higher initial NIHSS. This has important implications for assessing the safety and efficacy of drip and ship thrombolysis or other pre-transfer interventions. Further research is warranted.Disclosure: Dr. Mahmood has nothing to disclose. Dr. Ali has nothing to disclose. Dr. Siddiqui has nothing to disclose. Dr. Cohen has nothing to disclose. Dr....

The evaluation of sexual function in women with stroke
Conclusion: Sexual dysfunction is a commonly seen disorder in women with stroke, and is influenced by the severity of disease, level of dependence and accompanying depression. Therefore, evaluation of sexual dysfunction, depression and levels of physical function should be done in women with stroke during their follow up.

Stroke awareness in Korean high school students
This study was the first to investigate the basic knowledge of Korean adolescents about stroke and evaluate the improvement of this knowledge after an educational lecture. In total, 1269 high school students were instructed on the risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of stroke. Knowledge was evaluated before education (Pre-E), immediately after the lecture (Post-E1), and during a 2-week follow-up (Post-E2), using a questionnaire. Overall, we found that students ’ knowledge increased after the educational session. On the questionnaire section pertaining to stroke risk factors, out of nine possible points, the...

Arterial Tortuosity: An Imaging Biomarker of Childhood Stroke Pathogenesis? Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In children with dissection and transient cerebral arteriopathy, cerebral arteries demonstrate increased tortuosity. Quantified arterial tortuosity may represent a clinically relevant imaging biomarker of vascular biology in pediatric stroke.

Safety and Efficacy of IV-tPA Use in Patients 80 Years and Older- A Retrospective Review (P2.305)
Conclusion—We observed no increase in sICH post IV-tPA in patients 80+ when compared to those younger. Higher mortality in those 80+ likely due to baseline disabilities. Within the 80+ group, predictors of mortality and poor outcomes included disabilities prior to hospitalization, prior stroke/TIA, higher NIHSS at admission, sICH post treatment and higher diastolic blood pressure.Disclosure: Dr. Lau has nothing to disclose.

GPER expressed on microglia mediates the anti‐inflammatory effect of estradiol in ischemic stroke
ConclusionsOur studies have suggested that GPER expressed on microglia mediated the anti‐inflammatory effect of estradiol after ischemic stroke. Our studies could potentially help to develop more specific drugs to manage inflammation postischemic stroke. GPER was highly expressed in activated microglia after ischemia and estradiol. The specific GPER agonist G1 could inhibit the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines including IL‐1β and TNF‐α, which the anti‐inflammatory effect of G1 and E2 were both abolished by the specific GPER antagonist G15.

Effect of socioeconomic level on knowledge of stroke in the general population: A social inequality gradient
Conclusions Educational level, income, employment status, and state of health are independent factors for adequate knowledge of stroke. Public awareness campaigns should present material using simple language and efforts should be directed towards the most disadvantaged social strata in particular.

Textbook of Stroke Medicine
A successful medical textbook is one that contains well-researched and current material that is clearly written, supported by helpful diagrams and tables, and also concise and manageable. It should be comprehended within a finite period of time that, for the physician, is filled with activity in an academic or medical environment. I am writing this review from the viewpoint of a stroke neurologist who is involved in teaching medical students, residents, midlevel health care professionals, and patients and their families. I find Textbook of Stroke Medicine by Brainin and Heiss to be an exceptional book that meets and someti...
