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

Anticoagulant approach in COVID-19 patients with cerebral venous thrombosis
We appreciate Klein et al. [1] for reporting the case of cerebral venous thrombosis accompanied by hemorrhagic infarct in a young patient with novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The reporting of such a case would raise the awareness of the possibility of the occurrence of cerebral venous thrombosis in the course of COVID-19, especially among the young adults present with COVID-19 and neurological symptoms.

Cerebral venous thrombosis following COVID-19 vaccination
We appreciate the literature review by Abdalkader et al.1 to summarize the clinical epidemiology and features of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Based on the meta-analysis performed by Baldini et al.,2 the estimated proportion of CVT cases among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 was 0.08%; therefore, it is not surprising that COVID-19 associated CVT had not been given much attention compared to the more common deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism events in this patient population.

Immunoregulation of Ghrelin in neurocognitive sequelae associated with COVID-19: an in silico investigation
In this study, we explored, by bioinformatics approaches, the interaction between the multiple inflammatory agents involved in SARS-CoV-2 and Ghrelin (Ghre) together with its receptor GHSR-1A, which are described as anti-inflammatory mediators, in order to investigate what could trigger the hyper-inflammatory response in some SARS-CoV-2 patients. In our analysis, we found several interactions of Ghre and GHSR-1A with SARS-CoV-2 interacting human genes. We observed a correlation between Ghre, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 ACE2, toll-like receptors 9 (TLR9), and Acidic chitinase (CHIA), whereas its receptor GHSR-1A interac...
