Neurological symptoms in hospitalised patients with COVID-19 and their association with in-hospital mortality
CONCLUSIONS: Most hospitalised patients with COVID-19 experience neurological symptoms. Decreased level of consciousness, delirium, arterial hypotension, and stroke during or before hospitalisation increase the risk of in-hospital mortality.PMID:34037979 | DOI:10.5603/PJNNS.a2021.0039

Patients after persistent foramen ovale (PFO) closure: long-term benefits and risks. A contemporary approach to guide clinical decision making
Kardiol Pol. 2021 Feb 17. doi: 10.33963/KP.15817. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPatent foramen ovale is a congenital heart disease, which represents 80% of atrial septal defects and consist of a remnant of fetal circulation that functions in post-natal conditions as a transient interatrial right-to-left shunt of variable magnitude. The PFO may be implicated in the pathogenesis of several medical conditions, such as cryptogenic stroke, cryptogenic left circulation thromboembolism, migraine syndromes, decompression sickness. The most frequent indication for PFO closure remains PFO-associated left circulation thromboembolism....

Abstract Patent foramen ovale is a congenital heart disease, which represents 80% of atrial septal defects and consist of a remnant of fetal circulation that functions in post-natal conditions as a transient interatrial right-to-left shunt of variable magnitude. The PFO may be implicated in the pathogenesis of several medical conditions, such as cryptogenic stroke, cryptogenic left circulation thromboembolism, migraine syndromes, decompression sickness. The most frequent indication for PFO closure remains PFO-associated left circulation thromboembolism. In select patients, PFO closure reduces stroke recurrence in ...

What Causes Facial Nerve Palsy?
Discussion Facial nerve palsy has been known for centuries, but in 1821 unilateral facial nerve paralysis was described by Sir Charles Bell. Bell’s palsy (BP) is a unilateral, acute facial paralysis that is clinically diagnosed after other etiologies have been excluded by appropriate history, physical examination and/or laboratory testing or imaging. Symptoms include abnormal movement of facial nerve. It can be associated with changes in facial sensation, hearing, taste or excessive tearing. The right and left sides are equally affected but bilateral BP is rare (0.3%). Paralysis can be complete or incomplete at prese...

EQ-5D studies in nervous system diseases in eight Central and East European countries: a systematic literature review
ConclusionsEQ-5D research activity in neurology has been increasing through the years in studied CEE countries. There are clinical areas with the significant social burden, such as a migraine or meningitis, that are completely lacking data, other areas, such as stroke or epilepsy, with very scarce data.

Stroke and TIA mimics in patients referred to a neurological emergency department by non-ambulance physicians, ambulance physicians and paramedics.
CONCLUSIONS: There seem to be no major differences in the structure, early diagnostic approach and management of ACE mimics between referrals from ambulance physicians and ambulance paramedics, which provides reassurance to the healthcare systems that rely solely on paramedics. Mimics referred by non-ambulance physicians appear different in structure and less resource consuming. PMID: 30614515 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
