Ditch the Machine to Improve Accuracy in Blood Pressure Measurement and Diagnostics
Conclusion For the patient in this case, the decision to forego the convenience of a machine in favor of the skills of a knowledgeable paramedic was lifesaving. Much like the comparison often drawn between the old-fashioned barbell and more sophisticated exercise machines, newer, more complex, and more expensive might make a process more comfortable, but doesn’t always equate to superior results. As we surrender more and more of our hands-on skills to the ease of automated technology, we risk more than the loss of the aptitudes that form the foundation of sound patient assessment—we place our patients in jeopardy of mi...

COVID-19-related strokes in adults below 55  years of age: a case series
ConclusionStroke may be unrelated to age and the extent of lung involvement. However, different factors may play roles in co-occurrence of stroke and COVID-19 and its outcome. Future studies with long-term follow-up and more cases are needed to assess prognostic factors.

A Melioidosis Patient Presenting with Brainstem Signs in the Emergency Department
Conclusions: In light of this case, patients with identifiable risk factors, especially underlying diabetes, a history of positive soil contact, and those who lived in an endemic area or ever traveled to an endemic area, and who present themselves with fever and neurologic deficit or multi-organ involvement, should have melioidosis considered in the differential diagnosis.

Predictors of Extubation Success in Patients with Posterior Fossa Strokes
Conclusions In posterior fossa stroke patients with a GCS ≤ 6 at the time of intubation and who remain intubated for more than 1 week, extubation is less likely to be successful, and tracheostomy should be considered.

Relationship between Cough-Associated Changes in CSF Flow and Disease Severity in Chiari I Malformation: An Exploratory Study Using Real-Time MRI ADULT BRAIN
CONCLUSIONS: Our exploratory study suggests that assessment of CSF flow response to a coughing challenge has the potential to become a valuable objective noninvasive test for clinical assessment of disease severity in patients with Chiari I malformation.

Unusual Symptoms of Coronavirus: What We Know So Far
While most people are familiar with the hallmark symptoms of COVID-19 by now—cough, fever, muscle aches, headaches and difficulty breathing—a new crop of medical conditions are emerging from the more than 4 million confirmed cases of the disease around the world. These include skin rashes, diarrhea, kidney abnormalities and potentially life-threatening blood clots. It’s not unusual for viruses to directly infect and affect different tissues and organs in the body, but it is a bit unusual for a primarily respiratory virus like SARS-CoV-2, which is responsible for COVID-19, to have such a wide-ranging reach...

Can Pulmonary Function Testing Predict the Functional Outcomes of Poststroke Patients?: An Observational Study
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between postural control and respiratory muscle strength using pulmonary function testing. We sought to identify the respiratory function parameters that predict the functional outcomes patients with stroke at discharge. Design We prospectively recruited 52 patients with first-ever stroke within 6 mos of onset. Peak cough flow, maximal inspired pressure, maximal expired pressure, forced vital capacity, and forced expiratory volume in 1 sec were measured at baseline and after 4 wks of rehabilitation. The primary outcomes were trunk balance measured using the Trunk Impairm...

Use of a USA population survey to describe tobacco exposure, respiratory symptoms, and chronic diseases among smokers
Conclusion: Our population-based data shows a significant relationship between prolonged tobacco use and frequency of respiratory symptoms as well as some chronic diseases.

Parameters Influencing Tracheostomy Decannulation in Patients Undergoing Rehabilitation after severe Acquired Brain Injury (sABI)
Conclusions Parameters that could be used as positive predictors of weaning are: mean expiratory pressure, presence of spontaneous cough, and cough strength. Provoked cough and GCS were not predictive of weaning success.

Predictors of Adverse Outcome in Sickle Cell Disease Patients from Oman
Conclusion: Multi-organ failure was mostly associated with the terminal events relating to mortality. Although sepsis played a major role as a cause of death in association with multiorgan failure, low hemoglobin, and low platelet counts with increased WBC counts along with elevated LDH and CRP played a significant role in the terminal event in this cohort of SCD patients.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

What Causes Facial Nerve Palsy?
Discussion Facial nerve palsy has been known for centuries, but in 1821 unilateral facial nerve paralysis was described by Sir Charles Bell. Bell’s palsy (BP) is a unilateral, acute facial paralysis that is clinically diagnosed after other etiologies have been excluded by appropriate history, physical examination and/or laboratory testing or imaging. Symptoms include abnormal movement of facial nerve. It can be associated with changes in facial sensation, hearing, taste or excessive tearing. The right and left sides are equally affected but bilateral BP is rare (0.3%). Paralysis can be complete or incomplete at prese...

Surprise Diagnosis of COVID-19 following Neuroimaging Evaluation for Unrelated Reasons during the Pandemic in Hot Spots ADULT BRAIN
We report such a scenario in 17 patients who were admitted and investigated with CT spine imaging and CT angiography for nonpulmonary reasons (trauma = 13, stroke = 4). Their initial work-up did not suggest COVID-19 as a diagnosis but showed unsuspected/incidental lung findings, which led to further investigations and a diagnosis of COVID-19.

UCLA researchers study genetics ’ role in COVID-19 susceptibility, severity
“One of the most troubling things about COVID-19 is that we have a limited ability to predict how sick a specific individual will get,” said Dr. Daniel Geschwind.Geschwind is the MacDonald Distinguished Professor in Human Genetics at theDavid Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a member of theEli and Edythe Broad Center of  Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA. And he ’s part of a team of UCLA scientists conducting research to learn why certain people get sick from the virus that causes COVID-19 — and why others don’t.Millions of people around the world have been infected with SARS-CoV-2, the v...

The Presentation, Pace, and Profile of Infection and Sepsis Patients Hospitalized Through the Emergency Department: An Exploratory Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The clinical presentation of sepsis was heterogeneous and occurred with rapid onset prior to hospital presentation. These findings have important implications for improving public education, clinical treatment, and quality measures of sepsis care.PMID:33655214 | PMC:PMC7909460 | DOI:10.1097/CCE.0000000000000344
