@TonyClarkCP Is this what is happening now or is it another malfunction causing the prolonged closure?

COMMITTED ❤️💛x2 !! I am beyond blessed to announce I will be continuing my academic and athletic abilities playing both basketball and softball at Seton Hill!

[Bill Beckner @BillBeckner]

Penn-Trafford's Torrie DeStefano will play 2 sports at Seton Hill. Already a basketball commit, she will also play softball.

Not bad for someone who played 1 season of high school softball. She grew up playing baseball.

Stroke localization is one of the most powerful bedside skills in neurology and also one of the most favorite questions consultants ask during morning rounds.
So if you want to avoid getting embarrassed during rounds, you should definitely know these patterns.

Here are more high yield stroke localization pearls for residents and house officers 👇

➡️ Aphasia = dominant hemisphere lesion (usually left MCA) until proven otherwise.

➡️ Neglect = non-dominant parietal lobe stroke (usually right MCA).

➡️ Crossed signs (cranial nerve deficit on one side + body weakness on opposite side) = brainstem stroke.

➡️ Sudden vertigo + ataxia + diplopia = posterior circulation stroke unless proven otherwise.

➡️ Pure motor hemiparesis with no cortical signs = lacunar infarct.

➡️ Visual field defect without weakness = think PCA territory.

➡️ Locked-in syndrome is basilar artery thrombosis until proven otherwise.

➡️ Face and arm weakness worse than leg = MCA stroke.

➡️ Leg-predominant weakness = ACA stroke.

➡️ Dysphagia + hoarseness + ipsilateral facial sensory loss = lateral medullary syndrome.

➡️ A patient who “cannot speak” may still fully understand you → Broca aphasia.

➡️ Fluent but meaningless speech with poor comprehension → Wernicke aphasia.

➡️ Eye deviation usually points toward the side of hemispheric stroke.

➡️ Thalamic strokes commonly present with pure sensory deficits.

➡️ Sudden coma with pinpoint pupils should raise concern for pontine hemorrhage.

➡️ Severe headache + vomiting + decreased consciousness = think hemorrhagic stroke.

➡️ New atrial fibrillation in stroke patient = always suspect cardioembolic stroke.

➡️ Brainstem strokes can present subtly but deteriorate rapidly.

➡️ Bilateral weakness is never a typical MCA stroke pattern — think brainstem/basilar pathology.

➡️ If symptoms do not fit one vascular territory, reconsider the diagnosis.

➡️ Cortical signs = aphasia, neglect, gaze deviation, visual field defects, seizures.

➡️ Absence of cortical signs strongly favors lacunar stroke.

➡️ Sudden isolated ataxia in elderly hypertensive patient can still be a stroke.

➡️ Posterior circulation strokes are commonly missed in emergency settings.

➡️ Normal CT brain early in ischemic stroke does NOT exclude stroke.

Update on Millennium Force:

The ride’s manufacturer (Intamin) directly supplies the seat belts to Cedar Point, and it has been identified that they are shorter than the manufacturer’s specifications.

We are working with them to replace the belts in the coming weeks.
