clinical program with an option for a second year in clinical research and stroke trials training as part of the NIH-funded Coordinating Stroke Center at UCSF. We are seeking to train leaders in the fields of stroke neurology and clinical research. The program is ACGME accredited. The clinical year provides the necessary rotations in vascular neurology, neuroradiology and neurorehabilitation medicine required for Vascular Neurology board eligibility. Clinical rotations include outpatient stroke clinic, inpatient stroke care, rehabilitation medicine and electives. Fellows obtain extensive experience in the management of acute ischemic stroke with intravenous thrombolytics and endovascular methods, including intra-arterial thrombolysis and thrombectomy. Fellows administer and interpret transcranial Doppler testing for vasospasm and learn to interpret duplex ultrasonography of the carotid. Additionally, fellows obtain extensive experience in interpreting neuroimaging including MRI, CT angiography, CT perfusion and conventional angiography.<br /> <br /> Applicants who wish to pursue a career in clinical stroke research should apply for the 2-year fellowship. The second year of fellowship will focus on clinical research methodology. This additional year will offer didactic teaching in the basics of biostatistics, epidemiology and study design. Fellows will be matched with a research mentor and will carry out his or her own research project, with the expectation that fellows will complete a first-authored manuscript and/or present at a national meeting.</p> <p><strong>Current Unique Clinical interests: </strong></p> <p>The Stroke Recovery Initiative at UCSF is designed to help people who have had a stroke connect with researchers who are applying the latest science and technology to test new treatments for stroke recovery. <a href="http://strokerecoveryinitiative.ucsf.edu/">http://strokerecoveryinitiative.ucsf.edu/</a>.</p> <p>We are designated as a center of excellence for patient’s with cavernomas: <a href="http://www.angiomaalliance.org/index.aspx">Angioma Alliance</a>.</p> <p>Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia is also a disease which we participate in a multidisciplinary treatment approach<strong><em> <a href="https://radiology.ucsf.edu/patient-care/specialty-imaging/HHT#accordion-professional-staff">https://radiology.ucsf.edu/patient-care/specialty-imaging/HHT#accordion-professional-staff</a></em></strong></p> <p><strong>Pulsatile tinnitus clinic is the only multidisciplinary resource for patients who suffer from this condition, which can be caused by a vascular malformation or other neurologic conditions. </strong><a href="https://radiology.ucsf.edu/pulsatile-tinnitus">https://radiology.ucsf.edu/pulsatile-tinnitus</a></p> <p align="center"><strong>Neuro-Emergency Research Group Stroke Studies</strong></p> <p><strong>NIH-sponsored trials:</strong></p> <p><strong>StrokeNet</strong></p> <p>ARCADIA—AtRial Cardiopathy and Antithrombotic Drugs In prevention After cryptogenic stroke</p> <ul> <li>UCSF PI: Karl Meisel, MD</li> <li>ZSFGH PI: Wade Smith MD, PhD</li> <li>Study populations: Ischemic stroke (ESUS with atrial cardiopathy)</li> <li>Purpose: The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that apixiban is superior to aspirin for the prevention of recurrent stroke in subjects with ESUS and atrial cardiopathy.
