The trends and determinants of seasonal influenza vaccination after cardiovascular events in Canada: a repeated, pan-Canadian, cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: Influenza vaccination is still at less than the recommended level in patients with CVD. Future research should consider the impact of interventions to improve vaccination uptake in this population.PMID:36794825 | DOI:10.24095/hpcdp.43.2.04

COVID-19 vs Influenza for Risk of Thrombotic Events in Hospitalized Patients —Reply
In Reply We appreciate the interest in our recent study and the opportunity to share our responses to the comments by Dr Yii and colleagues. We sought to assess whether the risk of arterial and venous thromboembolism among patients hospitalized with COVID-19 differed from those hospitalized with another respiratory viral infection. Patients with influenza in 2018-2019 were selected as the comparator because this pathogen also causes pandemics, results in hospitalization when severe, and is associated with increased risk of acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and venous thromboembolism. Evaluating outcomes of COVI...

Viruses, Vol. 14, Pages 2817: Thromboembolic Events in Patients with Influenza: A Scoping Review
Discussion: Our findings are important in clarifying which thromboembolic complications are more frequent in adults and children with influenza. Symptoms of pulmonary embolism and influenza can be very similar, so a careful clinical evaluation is required for proper patient management, possible instrumental deepening, and appropriate pharmacological interventions, especially for patients with respiratory failure.

Predictors of herpes zoster vaccination among Australian adults aged 65 and over
CONCLUSION(S): Further research is required to understand the barriers to HZ vaccine uptake. Increasing the funding eligibility for those who are at risk of complications from shingles, or lowering the age of eligibility, may increase vaccine coverage.PMID:36336528 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.10.064

High-dose influenza vaccines for the prevention of hospitalization due to cardiovascular events in older adults in the nursing home: Post-hoc analysis of a cluster-randomized trial
Vaccine. 2022 Oct 13:S0264-410X(22)01215-4. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.09.085. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOlder adults are at high risk of major acute cardiovascular events (MACE) linked to influenza illness andpreventable by influenza vaccination. It is unknown whether high-dose vaccine might incrementally reduce the risk of MACE.We conducted a post-hoc analysis of data collected from a pragmatic cluster randomized study of 823 nursing homes (NH) randomized to standard-dose (SD) or high-dose (HD) influenza vaccine in the 2013-14 season. Adults age 65 year or older who are Medicare-enrolled long-stay residents were inc...

Influenza Vaccination and Risk of Ischemic Stroke: A Population-Based Case-Control Study
DISCUSSION: Results are compatible with a moderate protective effect of influenza vaccine on IS appearing early after vaccination. The finding that a reduced risk was also observed in pre-epidemic periods suggests that either the "protection" is not totally linked to prevention of influenza infection, or it may be partly explained by unmeasured confounding factors.PMID:36240087 | DOI:10.1212/WNL.0000000000201123

Parkinsonism associated with viral infection
We present possible risk factors, proposed pathophysiology mechanisms, published case reports, common associations, and prognosis in order to offer a concise overview of the viral spectrum involved in parkinsonism.PMID:36208896 | DOI:10.1016/bs.irn.2022.07.005

Age-dependent and sex-dependent differences in mortality from influenza-associated cardiovascular diseases among older adults in Shanghai, China: a population-based study
Conclusions Excess mortality rates for CVDs associated with influenza increased with age in older adults. The risk for influenza-associated IHD mortality was significantly higher in older women than men. Our findings will help implement targeted health strategies, including the promotion of influenza vaccination and early therapeutic intervention for the older population with CVD, to curb the influenza burden effectively.

Arterial Thrombotic Events in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients: A Short Review and Meta-Analysis
In conclusion, we found a non-negligible proportion of ATE in patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Our results are similar to those found in hospitalized patients with influenza or with non-COVID viral pneumonia.PMID:35793687 | DOI:10.1055/s-0042-1749661

Neuropathology of Pediatric SARS-CoV-2 Infection in the Forensic Setting: Novel Application of Ex Vivo Imaging in Analysis of Brain Microvasculature
We report 8 such cases (4 infants aged 7–36 weeks, 4 children aged 5–15 years). Four underwent ex vivo magnetic resonance neuroimaging, to assist in identification of subtle lesions related to vascular compromise. All infants were found unresponsive (3 in unsafe sleeping conditions); all but 1 had recent rhinitis and/or influenza-like illness (ILI) in the family; 1 had history of sickle cell disease. Ex vivo neuroimaging in 1 case revealed white matter (WM) signal hyperintensity and diffuse exaggeration of perivascular spaces, corresponding microscopically to WM mineralization. Neurohistology in the remaining 3 infants...

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
