Are Differences in Dysphagia Assessment, Oral Care Provision, or Nasogastric Tube Insertion Associated with Stroke-Associated Pneumonia? A Nationwide Survey Linked to National Stroke Registry Data
Conclusion: Variation exists in dysphagia screening and management, but there was no evidence of an association between clinical practice patterns and incidence of SAP. Further research with larger sample sizes is needed to examine association with SAP.Cerebrovasc Dis

Ictogenesis of viral pneumonia: A comparison between SARS-CoV-2 and H1N1/H3N2
Epilepsy Behav. 2021 Dec 10;126:108470. doi: 10.1016/j.yebeh.2021.108470. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSeveral studies reported acute symptomatic seizures as a possible neurological complication of COVID-19 pneumonia. Apart from metabolic imbalances, hypoxia, and fever, other ictogenic mechanisms are likely related to an immune-mediated damage. The same mechanisms are shared by other respiratory viruses. Since neurotropic properties of SARS-CoV-2 have been questioned, we investigated whether SARS-CoV-2 has a similar ictogenic potential to other respiratory non-neurotropic viruses. We conducted a retrospective study identi...

Aspiration Pneumonia in Adults Hospitalized With Stroke at a Large Academic Hospital in Zambia
Discussion PSAP is common and life threatening in Zambia, especially among older participants with severe stroke presentations. PSAP was associated with significantly increased mortality independent of initial stroke severity, suggesting that interventions to mitigate PSAP may improve stroke outcomes in Zambia and other resource-limited settings.

Predictive Factors for the Need of Tracheostomy in Patients With Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke Being Treated With Mechanical Thrombectomy
Conclusions: Patients with LVOS undergoing MT are at high risk to require TS if extubation after the intervention fails, DH is needed, and severe infectious complications occur in the acute phase after ischemic stroke. These factors are likely to be useful for the indication and timing of TS to reduce overall sedation and shorten ICU length of stay.

The prognostic significance of white blood cell and platelet count for in-hospital mortality and pneumonia in acute ischemic stroke
CONCLUSION: High WBC count combined with a low platelet count level at admission was independently associated with in-hospital mortality and pneumonia in AIS patients. Moreover, the combination of WBC count and platelet count level appeared to be a better predictor than WBC count or platelet count alone.PMID:34792010 | DOI:10.2174/1567202618666211118141803

Stroke Seasonality and Weather Association in a Middle East Country: A Single Tertiary Center Experience
Conclusions: In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, our study found no impact of weather or seasonal variations on stroke incidence, hospital course, or outcomes. However, our findings warrant further research in different country regions.

Pharmacotherapy for SARS-CoV-2 and Seizures for drug repurposing presumed on Mechanistic Targets
CONCLUSION: These findings would hopefully provide the basis for initiating further studies on the pathogenesis and drug targeting strategies for this emerging infection accompanied with seizures or in people with epilepsy.PMID:34645381 | DOI:10.2174/1874467214666211013122528
