Effects of statins on the risks of ischemic stroke and heart disease in human immunodeficiency virus infection, influenza and severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus: respiratory virus infection with steroid use
CONCLUSION: Statin use was associated with lower aHRs for ischemic stroke and heart disease in those with HIS disorders with comorbidities.PMID:35590450 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2022.2080359

Management of acute ischemic stroke in patients with COVID-19 infection: Insights from an international panel
A corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) has infected 986,776 persons as of April 2nd, 2020 over a period of 4  months. There is a possibility that Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection increases the risk of stroke similar to other respiratory tract infections [1]. Approximately 5% of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection suffer from stroke with over 80% of them being ischemic stroke [2]. T he reported mortality is 39% in patient with stroke [2] and COVID-19 infection which is much higher than the mortality observed in patients with stroke without COVID-19 infection [3].

Ischemic Stroke in a 29-Year-Old Patient with COVID-19: A Case Report
We reported, instead, a case of an ischemic stroke in a young woman during her hospitalization for COVID-19-related pneumonia. A 29-year-old woman presented to the emergency department of our institution with progressive respiratory distress associated with a 2-day history of fever, nausea, and vomiting. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) where she underwent a tracheostomy for mechanical ventilation due to her severe clinical condition and her very low arterial partial pressure of oxygen. The nasopharyngeal swab test confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Laboratory tests showed neutrophilic leucocytosis...

Ischemic stroke revealing COVID-19 infection: Case report
CONCLUSION: SARS-COV 2 infection can spread from the respiratory system to the central nervous system, resulting in an inflammatory response and excessive secretion of inflammatory markers, leading to ischemic stroke.PMID:34631044 | PMC:PMC8492013 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102912

Stroke Prevention After Cryptogenic Stroke
AbstractPurpose of ReviewCryptogenic stroke represents a heterogenous but clinically important collection of stroke etiologies for which our understanding continues to grow. Here, we review our current knowledge and most recent recommendations on secondary prevention for common causes of cryptogenic stroke including paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, atrial cardiopathy, patent foramen ovale, and substenotic atherosclerotic disease as well as the under-recognized mechanisms of occult malignancy, heart failure, and, most recently, infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2).Recent FindingsThe res...

Acute ischemic stroke and COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil: a comparative study of frequency and risk factors before and during SARS-CoV-2 era
ConclusionsHospital admissions for AIS decreased in the COVID-19 pandemic, mostly during months of higher incidences of new COVID-19 cases. When the incidence of admissions diminished, an increase in the severity of AIS was observed, characterized by larger areas. These findings might contribute to other similar referral centers in managing public policies related to stroke.

Association of Delirium Incidence with Visitation Restrictions due to COVID-19 Pandemic in Patients with Acute Cerebrovascular Disease in a Stroke-Unit Setting: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Conclusion: Pandemic-associated visitation restrictions and specifically absolute visitation restrictions are associated with a higher incidence of delirium among stroke-unit patients with acute cerebrovascular disease. Benefit and harm of visitation restrictions should be carefully weighed and adjustments considered for patients otherwise at increased risk for delirium.Gerontology

Cross-Talk Between Key Players in Patients with COVID-19 and Ischemic Stroke: A  Review on Neurobiological Insight of the Pandemic
AbstractThe global pandemic of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has taken the entire human race by surprise and led to an unprecedented number of mortalities worldwide so far. Current clinical studies have interpreted that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the host receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In addition, ACE2 is the major component of the renin-angiotensin system. ACE2 deteriorates angiotensin II, a peptide that is responsible for the promotion of stroke. The downregulation of ACE2 further activates an immunological cascade. Thus, researchers need to explore ...

SARS ‐CoV2 disease seen through the prism of acutely decompensated chronic kidney disease and ischemic stroke: What lesson we have learned from using prophylaxis therapy of vascular thromboembolism?
Our case underlines the tight management of antithrombotic therapy in the context of acutely decompensated chronic kidney disease, ischemic stroke, and SARS ‐CoV2 infection, the development of stroke as a SARS‐CoV2 complication increase the chances of adverse outcomes that may be mitigated by a rapid recognition and institution of available treatments.

Impact of SARS-CoV-2 on reperfusion therapies for acute ischemic stroke in Lombardy, Italy: the STROKOVID network
AbstractWhether and how SARS-CoV-2 outbreak affected in-hospital acute stroke care system is still matter of debate. In the setting of the STROKOVID network, a collaborative project between the ten centers designed as hubs for the treatment of acute stroke during SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in Lombardy, Italy, we retrospectively compared clinical features and process measures of patients with confirmed infection (COVID-19) and non-infected patients (non-COVID-19) who underwent reperfusion therapies for acute ischemic stroke. Between March 8 and April 30, 2020, 296 consecutive patients [median age, 74 years (interquartile range (IQ...

SARS-CoV-2 infection and acute ischemic stroke in Lombardy, Italy
ConclusionsIschemic strokes in COVID-19 patients have distinctive risk factor profile and etiology, increased clinical severity and higher in-hospital mortality rate compared to non-COVID-19 patients. A simple model based on clinical and routine laboratory parameters may be useful in identifying ischemic stroke patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection who are unlikely to survive the acute phase.
