Majersik: Potential future study - comparing patient-reported QoL outcomes (e.g. thinking) to cognitive assessments in SPS3 #ISC20

Majersik: used age 55 as the dichotomy for #youngstroke versus older adults with stroke - lots of debate about this, picked something in the middle of the range between 45-65, traditional stroke risk factors tied to stroke etiologies start to rise in frequency in the 50s #ISC20

A lot of the domains in SS-QOL that Dr. Majersik described mirror the late complications after #stroke that we're screening #youngstroke survivors for Tufts Medical Center in the SAYA Program program #ISC20 I'll be describing these tomorrow (Thursday) night at the poster session

As always, lovely to catch up with Amy Edmunds of YoungStroke at #ISC20 to discuss what's next in collective efforts to support #youngstroke survivors and to talk about SAYA Program Tufts Medical Center

Tufts MC Comprehensive Stroke Center Director Dr. Lester Y. Leung, MD, MSc provides a reminder that #stroke, #heartattack & other traumatic health events don't stop because of #COVID19. That's why our team is here to respond quickly & help get you back home safely. bit.ly/2VK1iSE

Watching @ElizaMillerMD’s wonderful #ISC21 overview talk on #stroke in pregnancy - these opening slides are heart-breaking and terrifying. Underrecognized cause of maternal death, 1/2 of the strokes are hemorrhagic. #NeuroObstetrics is one of the three pillars of SAYA Program

Different types of #stroke occur at different points during pregnancy and puerperium #ISC21 #NeuroObstetrics @ElizaMillerMD

Dr Elizabeth Miller makes the great point that Neurologists need to know the diagnostic criteria for preeclampsia - it’s a neurological disease! (see highlighted) #NeuroObstetrics #ISC21 #ForgetProteinuria We work closely with our MFM colleagues Tufts Medical Center

Some high yield slides here re: #stroke mechanisms in pregnancy and preeclampsia-related neurovascular complications (acute and chronic) from @ElizaMillerMD #NeuroObstetrics #ISC21 SAYA Program

I would hope that these summary slides from Drs. Cheryl Bushnell, MD, MHS, FAHA and Eric Smith illustrate how acute #stroke is managed for pregnant women everywhere #ISC21 #NeuroObstetrics IV tPA and EVT can be done safely. CT min risk for fetus. Stroke not a contraindication to vaginal delivery.

Congrats to Dr. Souvik Sen on tackling periodontal health as a means for #stroke prevention, especially in populations with high levels of stroke disparities #ISC2022 Another way in which systemic health affects stroke risk and how we need to treat the WHOLE patient

Nice talk by Hugo J. Aparicio, MD, MPH, FAHA providing an overview of current associations and potential mechanisms by which cannabis leads to #stroke and cardiovascular disease - cerebral vasoconstriction and cardiac arrhythmia seem most compelling in practice, so far #ISC2022

VNS-REHAB trial for chronic ischemic #stroke - VNS+rehab improves upper extremity function compared to rehab only, enrolled >9 mo post-stroke, assessed at day 1 + 90 days Article: thelancet.com/journals/lance… FDA release: fda.gov/news-events/pr… Consistent across subgroups #ISC2022

Interesting posthoc analysis of IMS III by Adam de Havenon et al on quality of life after LVO ischemic #stroke - identified 4 trajectories, most end up in good QoL territory, associated with mRS but still variance within each mRS level #ISC2022 Need to identify red vs blue IRL

Marijuana use - effects on brain health - scientific statement from the AHA-ASA ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116… #stroke risk + cognitive risk predominantly in young people, more research needed and possible now with legalization

ACTION-CVT - retrospective international real world cohort (1025 CVT patients!) shows similar clinical and radiographic outcomes for DOACs vs warfarin ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116… #stroke #ISC22

#ISC22 Current knowledge on #DigitalTechnology for primordial and primary #stroke and cardiovascular disease prevention #DigitalHealth #PrimaryPrevention Valery Feigin sheila martins mayowa o owolabi AHA Science ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ST…

It’ll continue to be a challenge to translate advances in adult care to #PediatricStroke, but this is an important step forward: Kartik Bhatia showing natural history of LVO ischemic #stroke in kids with and without thrombectomy. Important point that most present ON TIME! #ISC22

Disturbing trends in mortality for young adults with #stroke - mostly in areas of high unemployment, South, but also in Midwest, mountain states, California, rural parts of New England #ISC22 #youngstroke SAYA Program

Join our Zoom meetup with @Enable__Us today at 2PM! We’ll have an open, talk show-style discussion on movement and exercise after #stroke enable4us.com/event-details/… #YoungStroke
