The mucormycosis and Stroke: the learning curve during the second COVID-19 pandemic
Background The Angio-invasive Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) producing strokes is a less explored entity. Our hospital, a stroke-ready one, had an opportunity to manage mucormycosis when it was identified as the nodal center for mucormycosis management. We are sharing our experiences and mistakes in managing the cerebrovascular manifestations of ROCM.Methods We conducted a prospective observational study during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic from 1st May 2021 to 30th September 2021, where consecutive patients aged more than 18 years with microbiologically confirmed cases of ROCM were included.

Surgical Masks May Hide Neurological Diagnoses
We present a case that highlights one of the many ways in which the pandemic has negatively impacted the care of the non-COVID patient. A patient presented to the ED with a chief complaint of diffuse weakness and a new-onset cough on awakening. His daughter noted that he was slurring his words. An emergency medicine resident evaluated him, ordered laboratory studies, and decided to monitor the patient. The same resident later noted the patient veering to the left when walking, prompting a more detailed neurological examination. On removing the patient ’s facemask, a left lower facial weakness was evident. The resident ca...

Impact of improved stroke green channel process on the delay of intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute cerebral infarction during the COVID-19 pandemic: An observational study
ConclusionDuring the two periods of the COVID-19 outbreak (SARS-CoV-2 and Omicron), after the improvement of the green channel for intravenous thrombolysis, there might be some delay in in-hospital DIT during the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, however, the in-hospital delay indicator DNT for intravenous thrombolysis were not affected.

Cytokine storm and neuropathological alterations in patients with neurological manifestations of COVID-19
Curr Alzheimer Res. 2022 Sep 8. doi: 10.2174/1567205019666220908084559. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), a respiratory pathogen with neuroinvasive potential. Neurological COVID-19 manifestations include loss of smell and taste, headache, dizziness, stroke, and potentially fatal encephalitis. Several studies found elevated proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-6 IL-8, IL-10 IL-16, IL-17A, and IL-18 in severely and critically ill COVID-19 patients, which may persist even after apparent recovery from infection. Bioma...

Air pollution and cerebrovascular disorders with special reference to Asia: An overview
Conclusion: Even though air pollution poses a significant threat to human health, a great number of countries still fail to achieve internationally agreed air quality standards. Air pollution should be recognized among the most significant controllable risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease prevention and treatment.

Efficacy and safety of recanalization therapy for acute ischemic stroke with COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsCompared with COVID-19 negative AIS patients who received recanalization treatments, COVID-19 positive patients turned out to have poorer outcomes. Particular attention needs to be paid to the treatments for these COVID-19 patients to decrease mortality and morbidity. Long-term follow-up is necessary to evaluate the recanalization treatments for AIS patients with COVID-19.Systematic review registrationhttps://inplasy.com/inplasy-2022-4-0022/, identifier: INPLASY202240022.

Risk Factors for New Neurologic Diagnoses in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19: A Case-Control Study in New York City
Discussion Hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 and new neurologic diagnoses have significant morbidity and mortality postdischarge. Further research is needed to define the effect of neurologic diagnoses during acute hospitalization on longitudinal post-COVID-19–related symptoms including neurocognitive impairment.
