Profoundly important’ new option for stroke patients in Iowa

News

May 28th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

There are now two hospitals in Iowa offering a new treatment for stroke victims that removes clots in the brain, potentially reversing early symptoms that previously could have led to permanent damage. The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City and Mercy Hospital in Des Moines both offer endovascular thrombectomy. Michael Jacoby, medical director at Mercy, calls the procedure a “profoundly important” new option.

“It’s opened up a whole new avenue of stroke care in terms of an opportunity that wasn’t previously available to a large population of patients,” Jacoby says. According to Jacoby, for about 20 years, doctors only had I-V medication to offer as an immediate treatment for stroke.

“It’s only in the past couple years or so has a brand-new and in particular a very earth-shattering, or revolution, basically, in stroke care come to be in that we have this ability now to go in and take out clots that previously had resulted in devastating stroke,” Jacoby said. Mercy recently reached adequate medical staffing to offer the procedure anytime an eligible patient arrives. Patients can be transported from other hospitals to Mercy or UI Hospitals and the window for beginning treatment can be as long as 24 hours. But, Jacoby emphasizes that with stroke – it remains critically important to get medical attention as quickly as possible for the best outcomes.

Villar, Yelich homer in Brewers’ 8-3 win over Cardinals

Sports

May 28th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jonathan Villar and Christian Yelich homered, while Ryan Braun had three hits to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to an 8-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday. Milwaukee starter Brent Suter (5-3) allowed three runs in five innings, but hit a two-run double in the fourth that gave Milwaukee a 4-0 lead. Milwaukee won for the 10th time in 12 games. St. Louis starter Luke Weaver (3-5) lost his third consecutive start, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts in four innings. The Brewers were shut out 5-0 by the Mets on Thursday. Since then, they’ve scored 37 runs in four games, all victories.
Outfielder Dexter Fowler was not in the Cardinals starting lineup for the second consecutive game after being hit in the right knee with a pitch from Pittsburgh’s Trevor Williams. RHP Alex Reyes, who struck out 44 in 23 innings while allowing no runs and seven hits in four minor-league rehab starts, will make his first start since 2016 on Wednesday in Milwaukee. Reyes underwent Tommy John surgery in February 2017.
Brewers: Braun had been out of the lineup in two of the previous three games for rest after returning Thursday following a 10-day stint on the disabled list for back tightness.
UP NEXT
Cardinals: RHP Michael Wacha (5-1, 2.88 ERA) will be on the mound in the middle game of the series. He has held opponents to two runs or less in each of his last seven starts.
Brewers: RHP Zach Davies (2-4, 4.74) will make his second start since coming off the disabled list Thursday. He was the losing pitcher in the Cardinals’ 8-4 win on April 2 at Miller Park.

News

May 28th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

SPARTA, Wis. (AP) — Police say the Iowa man accused of making threats to kill estranged relatives at a high school graduation in Wisconsin has been arrested. The Sparta Police Department said Benjamin Sidie was taken into custody by Dubuque, Iowa police on Monday. School district officials in Sparta decided to cancel Friday’s graduation because of the alleged threats.

Police said most of the threats were made by text message over a period of several days. Sgt. Jason Pipkin says Sidie “threatened to die by suicide by cop. And he was going to do it at the graduation.”

Police worked with the FBI to locate the 44-year-old suspect and did not believe he was in Wisconsin. His last known address is in Osceola, Iowa. School district administrators promised to reschedule the graduation ceremony when the threat was resolved.
