The effects of the COVID-19 lockdown and socio-economic factors on stroke hospitalizations in France
ConclusionsDuring the first national lockdown, there has been an overall decrease in stroke admission rates. Socio-economic determinants such as low-skilled jobs were independently associated with an increase in the stroke admission incidence rate ratio, while we did not find any independent effect from the local COVID 19 burden and hospital capacities.Key messagesThe first national lockdown led to an overall decrease in stroke admissions in France.This decrease varied between counties according to socio-economic determinants.

Methods and feasibility of collecting occupational data for a large population-based cohort study in the United States: the reasons for geographic and racial differences in stroke study
Conclusions: The feasibility of conducting high-quality occupational data collection and coding for a large heterogeneous population-based sample was demonstrated. We found that training for interview staff was important in ensuring that narrative responses for industry and occupation were adequately specified for coding. Estimates of survey administration time and coding from digital records provide an objective basis for planning future studies. The social and environmental conditions of work are important understudied risk factors that can be feasibly integrated into large population-based health studies.

More to science: working in Business Management
What is your scientific background? I was conferred my PhD in Neuroscience from the Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience (IPN). I studied central nervous system trauma in rodent models of contusive spinal cord injury. Judy Lytle My thesis centered on a specific type of progenitor cell, and its role in post-injury adult spinal cord tissue. I worked to characterize this cell population’s proliferative capabilities after injury, its ability to become neural cells in the post-injury environment, and tested various growth factors to attempt to recapitulate the cell populationâ€...
