Think this whole area of cognitive structure has been poorly explored- too much focus on alexithymia which i think is a dead end- i suspect this type of experimental approach is where the action is

Ultra-early bird category for student researchers is now open for the Adelaide 2024 Asia Pacific Stroke Conference Sept 26-28 #APSC2024. Abstracts close May 24th - looking forward to seeing some excellent research from our future research leaders! apsc2024.org

Very excited and grateful for the endorsement of World Stroke Org and sheila martins of our Asia Pacific Stroke conference in beautiful Adelaide Australia September 26-28. If you register I guarantee you won’t regret it! apsc2024.org

Hot news! The 30/60/90 National Stroke Targets Action Plan is now live - with thanks to everyone who has contributed. These strategies - if implemented- will make a huge difference to stroke outcomes in Australia. Let’s do this! strokefoundation.org.au/media/3k4jmsl1…

Congrats Craig Kurunawai and Andrew Bivard on the improvements in Telestroke care following Zeus platform implementation! Regional Australians all deserve access to expert stroke care…

60 minutes DIDO is tricky but possible - as this work shows it’s all about communication - local hospital, ambulance services,neurologists and neurointerventionalists.

Congrats Mark Parsons for being a TNK pioneer, as well as rounding off the TNK trials with the TASTE study and positive meta-analysis. The alpha and omega of TNK!

Many thanks to Mitch Elkind and Puja Patel for facilitating a global stroke roundtable today - a great opportunity to learn from each other and plan coordinated quality improvement!

Congrats Shelagh Coutts & Calgary team on the Tempo-2 study, simultaneous published in the Lancet - an immense achievement! Tenecteplase is not superior to DAPT in non-disabling stroke with vessel occlusion or ctp lesion up to 12 hours post onset, despite improved recanalisation

Warmest congratulations to my dear friend and colleague Dr Michelle Kiley on the dual ANZAN honours of the EG Robertson award and becoming President Elect!

Vale Carole Hampton, RAH stroke nurse extraordinaire, whose contributions were immense, and who left us too soon. If you knew Carole, please consider donating to stroke nurse education in her honour. justgiving.com/page/carole-st…

Extraordinary benefit for ICH and extraordinary harm for ischemic stroke. Strengthens the case for Mobile Stroke Units wherever feasible.

Congrats Dr Xiong and the TRACE-3 investigators on their study showing the benefit of TNK in the 4.5-24 hour window for LVO patients! A super important study for Telestroke services and non-EVT centres. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Biden confuses Trump with Harris, and Putin with Zelensky. Is this explicable as 'binary reversal' - an early sign of (especially) non-fluent PPA? There are some other 'tauopathy' features (early falls, fixed facial expression, possibly saccadic apraxia). jnnp.bmj.com/content/95/5/4…

Very interesting work thank you. The human cerebellum is relatively huge - it MUST be doing many specifically human things. An aside - maybe frontotemporal brain sagging is a cerebellar disorder due to SCP squishing?

Please join us September 26 18:30 for this year's Annual Florey Public Lecture, presented by Professor Nick Ward, Neurologist from Queen Square London, world-expert in post-stroke recovery. events.humanitix.com/annual-florey-…
