    Abstract Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) categorized as a cerebral small vessel disease can cause lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and ischemic stroke (IS). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences in the diagnosis of CAA based on hospital characteristics and to assess the discharge outcomes of patients with CAA admitted for IS, ICH and SAH. Adult patients admitted with secondary diagnosis of CAA were identified in National Inpatient Sample in 2016 and 2017. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate outcomes. A total of 16,040 patients had a secondary diagnosis of CAA. Among CAA patients, 1810 (11.3%) patients were admitted for IS, 4765 (29.7%) for ICH and 490 (3.1%) for SAH. Diagnosis of CAA was five-fold higher among patients admitted to urban teaching hospitals (aOR = 5.4;95% CI = 4.1-7.2) compared to rural hospitals and two-fold higher in large bed size hospitals (aOR = 2.3;95% CI = 2.0-2.7) compared to small bed size hospitals. Compared to non-CAA group, patients with history of CAA had lower odds of in-hospital mortality among patients admitted for ICH (10% vs 23%, aOR = 0.35; 95%CI = 0.27-0.44) and SAH (6% vs 19%, aOR = 0.24; 95%CI = 0.10-0.55); and higher odds of discharge to home among patients admitted for ICH (17% vs 18%, aOR = 1.27; 95%CI = 1.05-1.53). CAA diagnosis is less common in rural and small bed size hospitals compared to urban and large bedside hospitals, respectively. Patients with CAA admitted for ICH have better discharge outcomes compared to non-CAA patients admitted for ICH.

    Abstract Purpose: To characterize retinal tears (RTs) and calculate the economic burden of RTs that present to the emergency department (ED) in the US.
    Methods: We used a large national ED database to retrospectively analyze RTs that presented to the ED from 2006 to 2019. Using extrapolation methods, national of the RT patient ED volume, demographics, comorbidities, disposition, inpatient (IP) charges, and ED charges were calculated.
    Results: During the period between 2006 and 2019, 15841 ED encounters had RT listed as the primary diagnosis. The average annual RT ED encounters was 2,640 ± 856 and comprised an average of 6.4 ×
    Conclusion: Despite the stable number of RT patients presenting to the ED, RTs place a significant economic burden to the healthcare system, which increases yearly. We recommend physicians and policy makers to work together to pass laws that could prevent the increasing healthcare charges.

    Abstract Introduction: Cranial irradiation is used both prophylactically and for the treatment of brain tumors. There are various complications associated with it. The rare complication of stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) syndrome usually occurs several years after radiation therapy but is a reversible phenomenon. It usually presents with headaches, seizures, or other focal neurological deficits concerning stroke or recurrence of the underlying disease.
    Objectives: We aim to present two cases of SMART syndrome highlighting the typical presentation, imaging findings, and differential diagnosis. We also conducted the literature review since the early recognition of this rare delayed onset complication is crucial, given its self-limited course and to avoid misinterpretations of the cases.
    Conclusion: Our extensive review favors MRI, CT, and prolonged EEG monitoring to rule out other differentials and showed that initiation of corticosteroid therapy and antiepileptic treatment were helpful in the resolution of symptoms and prevent recurrences. Therefore, future studies should be focused on early identification and management guidelines for SMART syndrome.

    Abstract Purpose: To examine the hospital- and patient-related factors associated with increased likelihood of inpatient admission and extended hospitalization.
    Methods: We applied multivariate logistic regression to a subset of ED hospital and patient characteristics linearly extrapolated from the 2019 National Emergency Department Sample database (n=626,508). Patient characteristics with 10 or fewer ED visits after national extrapolation were not reported in the current study to maintain patient confidentiality, in accordance with the HCUP Data Use Agreement. All selected ED visits represented a primary diagnosis of CVD (ICD-10 codes 160-168). All reported hospital and patient characteristics were subject to adjustment for covariates. P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
    Main findings: Medicare beneficiaries report higher inpatient admission rates than uninsured OR 0.81 (0.73-0.91) and privately insured OR 0.86 (0.79-0.94) individuals. Black and Native-American patients were 37% and 55% more likely to be hospitalized long (>75
    Principal conclusions: Likelihoods of inpatient admission and long hospital stays were observably stratified through multiple, independently acting hospital and patient characteristics. Significant associations were stratified by race/ethnicity, location, and clinical presentation, among others. Attention to the factors reported here may serve well to mitigate emergency department crowding and its sobering impact on United States healthcare systems and patients.

    Abstract Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States with a huge burden on health care. Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) accounts for 87% of all stroke. The use of thrombolytic agents in AIS treatment is well known since 1950 but no FDA approval until 1996, due to lack of strong evidence showing benefits outweigh the risk of intracranial hemorrhage. The NINDS trial led to the approval of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator treatment (IV recombinant tPA) within 3 h of stroke. Due to this limitation of 3-4.5 h. window, evolution began in the development of effective endovascular therapy (EVT). Multiple trials were unsuccessful in establishing the strong evidence for effectiveness of EVT. In 2015, MR CLEAN trial made progress and showed improved outcomes with EVT in AIS patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO), with 6-h window period. In 2018, two major trials-DAWN and DEFUSE 3-along with few other trials had shown improved outcomes with EVT and stretched window period from 6 to 24 h. AHA Stroke Council is constantly working to provide focused guidelines and recommendations in AIS management since 2013. SVIN had started the initiative "Mission Thrombectomy-2020" to increase global EVT utilization rate 202,000 procedures by 2020. Physicians are using safer and easier approach like brachial and radial approach for EVT. TeleNeurology and artificial intelligence also played a significant role in increasing the availability of IV recombinant tPA in AIS treatment in remote hospitals and also in screening, triaging and identifying LVO patients for EVT. In this review article, we aim to describe the history of stroke management along with the new technological advancements in AIS treatment.

    Abstract In order to prescribe an antibiotic, a physician must go through a series of decision-making processes that involve both the drug and the host. In this review article, we outline exactly what those decision-making processes are and some of their limitations. Before a medication can be prescribed, a physician has to determine if the antibiotic works against the host pathogen. To do this, basic science techniques are employed including phenotypic methods such as broth dilution methods, Kirby-Bauer susceptibility testing, Epsilometer test (E-test), and genotypic methods such as the new and upcoming automated tests. After determining if a drug has potential to work, the physician must consider the drug's mechanism of action in order to determine a dosing regimen. Some groups of drugs should be administered at high concentrations infrequently, others should be given more frequently in smaller doses, and others lie somewhere between this spectrum. Finally, external factors such as the patient's age, especially for pediatrics and geriatrics patients, need to be considered, as these groups have the highest health care burden but are among the most vulnerable when it comes to the side effects of drugs.

    Abstract Elder abuse can present in many forms, including physical abuse, psychological/emotional abuse, sexual abuse, financial abuse, and neglect. Many studies estimate that about 10% of all people over the age of 65 experience some form of abuse. These rates are often higher in long-term care facilities such as nursing homes, despite government regulations aimed toward addressing this issue. Because patients who experience abuse tend to have higher rates of hospitalization and mortality, it is important for physicians to be able to accurately identify cases of abuse. However, many studies have found that healthcare professionals are often undertrained and ill-equipped in diagnosing elder abuse. In this article, we outline tools that may be able to aid healthcare professionals in their diagnoses, such as survey-based methodology and common physical signs of abuse. In addition, we propose evidence-based solutions, including the use of multidisciplinary teams and increased training on the subject, so that healthcare professionals can more easily identify victims of abuse. Essentially, it is our hope that this article further spotlights elder abuse and its challenges, while serving as a guide to healthcare professionals.
