Hwang Byung-wook, Resident at Chosun University Hospital, Wins Excellent Poster Presentation Award from the Korean Stroke Society

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Hwang Byungwook, a neurology resident at Chosun University Hospital (supervising professor An Seonghwan), recently received the Excellent Poster Presentation Award at the International Conference STROKE UPDATE (ICSU) 2022 and the 2nd Korea-Australia Joint Stroke Symposium held at the Grand Walkerhill Seoul.

According to Chosun University Hospital on the 15th, Resident Hwang presented a poster titled "Unfavorable prognosis of acute stroke developed by bilateral vertebral artery occlusion."

Ischemic stroke caused by bilateral vertebral artery occlusion showed neurological symptom deterioration in most patients due to the progression of cerebral infarction despite medical treatment, and it was confirmed that patients exhibited poor neurological outcomes beyond the level of difficulty in independent walking.

Resident Hwang stated, "I will work harder not only in academic research but also in clinical practice to help neurology patients."

Meanwhile, the Korean Stroke Society has been holding an international conference every two years since 2012, sharing academic achievements among leading stroke societies and research teams worldwide, thereby continuing international exchanges.
