Importance Recent large infarct thrombectomy trials used heterogeneous imaging modalities and time windows for patient selection. Noncontrast computed tomographic (CT) scan is the most common stroke approach. It remains uncertain whether effective patients with infarcts identified using noncontrast CT alone within 24 hours of onset. Objective To evaluate effect in a on Design, Setting, Participants Open-label, blinded–end point, bayesian-adaptive randomized trial interim analyses early...
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is associated with stroke. The role of sex on stroke outcome has not been investigated. To objective this paper to describe the characteristics a diverse cohort acute patients COVID-19 disease and determine outcome.This retrospective study SARS-CoV-2 admitted between March 15 May 15, 2020 one six participating comprehensive centers. Baseline characteristics, subtype, workup, treatment are presented as total number...
Background: Intersection of gender and race and/or ethnicity in academic medicine is understudied; we aim to understand these factors relation scholarly achievements for neurology faculty. Methods: Faculty from 19 US departments completed a survey (2021-2022) report rank, leadership positions, publications, funded projects, awards, speaker invitations. Regression analyses examined effects gender, race, their intersectionality on achievements. Women, Black/Indigenous/People Color (BIPOC),...
Background: COVID-19 has been associated with increased risk of venous and arterial thromboembolism including ischemic stroke. We report on patients acute stroke concomitant in a diverse patient population. Methods: This is retrospective analysis hospitalized (AIS) to our comprehensive center Chicago, IL, between March 1, 2020, April 30, 2020. reviewed characteristics, etiologies, composite outcomes. then compared cohort historic AIS without admitted the same time frame 2019 Results: Out 13...
This paper presents the findings, from a clinical study, on reliability and validity of new measure for intentions in self‐harm behaviour, Self‐Injury Questionnaire (SIQ). Eighty‐three patients, who had presented to an emergency department with episode self‐harm/suicidal were given SIQ as part battery measures evaluate differentiation based upon history childhood physical and/or sexual abuse. The internal consistency total scale was strong (α = 0.83). Construct demonstrated significant...
There is a paucity of data and belief that endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has low efficacy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients with cancer. We aimed to critically compare the clinical outcomes EVT AIS without cancer.Records all undergoing between January 2015 2020 were screened cancer at time EVT. Active was defined as who diagnosed or refused treatment Baseline modified Rankin Scale (mRS), age sex used 1:5 propensity score matching ratio. After we evaluated any change National...
This report describes a case of subarachnoid hemorrhage complicated by ventriculitis and subsequent delayed cerebral vasospasm, severe chronic spinal arachnoiditis, Froin syndrome. A 60-year-old woman presented with diffuse aneurysmal underwent successful coil embolization ruptured left anterior artery aneurysm. Her course was bacterial acute hydrocephalus necessitating ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement. She returned ten weeks later recurrent headaches; CT angiography showed vasospasm....
Palatal tremor (PT) (or myoclonus) is a rare movement disorder comprising 2 forms: essential PT (EPT) and symptomatic (SPT).cThe rhythmic of the may be unilateral or bilateral with partial complete rhythmicity.During sleep, ceases in EPT but not SPT.c Treatment for SPT includes medication such as valproate, clonazepam, trihexyphenidyl; botulinum toxin has been successful only few reported cases. Oy-sters cExamination palate careful review imaging should done patients who present progressive...
Background: Research suggests that residing in a food desert (FD) area may negatively impact health by increasing cardiovascular risk factors. The USDA defines FD as an of low income addition to access grocery stores at 1 (urban) or 10-mile (rural) radius and/or vehicle access. This study aims assess sociodemographic profile and stroke factors among individuals FDs within the predominantly rural state South Carolina (SC). Methods: Deidentified administrative discharge data included all...
Background: The structure of the stroke care delivery system in rural South Carolina has been changed by Medical University tele-stroke program with >40 spoke sites improved treatment times and outcomes overall. Disparities at level primary centers acute ready hospitals have not well studied. aim this study is to retrospectively analyze data from network for sex differences processes identify disparities between men women. Methods: Data was collected analyzed 21,549 patients 1/1/2012...

We investigated the perception of lactation experience at work and relationship between taking time academic productivity among neurology women faculty.
Retrospectively analyze data from the tele-stroke network for sex differences in stroke care processes at spoke sites to identify disparities treatment times and outcomes between men women.
Restoring motor function after stroke necessitates involvement of numerous cognitive systems. However, the impact damage to and network organization on recovery is not well understood. To discover correlates successful recovery, we explored imaging characteristics in chronic subjects by combining noninvasive brain stimulation fMRI. Twenty survivors (6 months or more stroke) were randomly assigned a single session transcranial direct current (tDCS) sham during image acquisition. healthy...
