Effects of an Infection Control Protocol for Coronavirus Disease in Emergency Mechanical Thrombectomy
CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 protection protocol significantly impacted the door-to-imaging time. Shortening the door-to-imaging time and performing the procedure under local anesthesia, if possible, may be required to reduce the door-to-puncture and doorto- recanalization times. The effect of various aspects of the protection protocol on emergency thrombectomy should be further studied.PMID:34879638 | DOI:10.3340/jkns.2021.0053

Comparative Analysis of COVID-19 Outbreak and Changes in Neurosurgical Emergency Patients
CONCLUSION: Due to the occurrence of COVID-19, non-essential activities have decreased and trauma cases not associated with traffic accidents appeared to decrease. Due to the decrease in overall activity, the number of stroke patients has also decreased. This trend is expected to continue even in the post-COVID-19 era, and accordingly, the results from the present study are relevant especially if the current situation continues.PMID:34492750 | DOI:10.3340/jkns.2021.0056

EP39* Collateral damages of COVID-19 on the hungarian ischemic stroke care
ConclusionsCollateral damages of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Hungarian IS care system were demonstrated. The disproportionally greater decline of IS admission numbers could partially be explained by the effect of health emergency operative measures. Further studies are needed to evaluate the causes of our observations.ReferencesBersano A, Kraemer M, Touzé E, Weber R, Alamowitch S, Sibon I, et al.

Neurosurgery in times of a pandemic: a survey of neurosurgical services during the COVID-19 outbreak in the Veneto region in Italy.
CONCLUSIONS: This multicenter study describes the effects of a COVID-19 outbreak on neurosurgical activities in a vast region in Italy. Remodulation of neurosurgical activities has resulted in a significant reduction of elective and emergency surgeries compared to previous years. Most likely this is a combined result of cancellation of elective and postponable surgeries, increase of conservative management, increase in social restrictions, and in patients' fear of accessing hospitals. Curiously, only endovascular procedures for AIS have increased, possibly due to reduced physical activity or increased thrombosis in SARS-Co...

What a jerk: perils in the assessment of psychogenic movement disorders
In 2012, the upstate New York town of LeRoy became something of a neuropsychiatric battleground when it witnessed an outbreak of cases of sudden-onset tic-like behaviour in high-school age girls, many from a single school.1 The ‘Tourette's epidemic’, as it was dubbed by a fascinated world media, attracted different explanations: for every claim that this was ‘mass hysteria’ (ie, conversion disorder), there was an outraged counter-claim to the effect that such a diagnosis was missing a real organic cause of these tics and jerks, variously thought to be PANDAS (a rare and still controversial apparent ...
