Post-traumatic stress disorder: a differential diagnostic consideration for COVID-19 survivors - Kaseda ET, Levine AJ.
OBJECTIVE: SARS-CoV-2 infection and its oft-associated illness COVID-19 may lead to neuropsychological deficits, either through direct mechanisms (i.e., neurovirulance) or indirect mechanisms, most notably complications caused by the virus (e.g., stroke) o...

Establishment and effectiveness evaluation of a scoring system for exertional heat stroke by retrospective analysis - Yang MM, Wang L, Zhang Y, Yuan R, Zhao Y, Hu J, Zhou FH, Kang HJ.
BACKGROUND: Heat stroke (HS) is a serious, life-threatening disease. However, there is no scoring system for HS so far. This research is to establish a scoring system that can quantitatively assess the severity of exertional heat stroke (EHS).
METHODS:...

Post-traumatic stress disorder: a differential diagnostic consideration for COVID-19 survivors.
CONCLUSIONS: Heightened risk of PTSD occurred in MERS and SARS survivors. While data concerning COVID-19 is lacking, PTSD is known to occur in patient groups who undergo similar hospital courses, including ICU survivors, patients who are intubated and mechanically ventilated, and those that experience delirium. Research with patients who develop PTSD in the context of mild traumatic brain injury further suggests that PTSD may account for some or all of a patient's subjective cognitive complaints and neuropsychological test performance. Recommendations are provided for assessing PTSD in the context of COVID-19.

Response regarding: “Elderly Patients With Cervical Spine Fractures After Ground Level Falls are at Risk for Blunt Cerebrovascular Injury”
We thank Dr Malhotra et al.1 for their thoughtful consideration of our manuscript “Elderly Patients With Cervical Spine Fractures After Ground Level Falls Are at Risk for Blunt Cerebrovascular Injury.”2 We found that blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) occurred less frequently in elderly patients with isolated cervic al spine fractures after ground level falls but was associated with a comparable rate of post-traumatic stroke (presumed to be attributed to BCVI) compared to other mechanisms. We concluded that low injury mechanism should not preclude BCVI screening in the presence of cervical spine fractures.

Effects of A Benefit-Finding Intervention in Stroke Caregivers in Communities.
CONCLUSIONS: The intervention appears to be feasible for stroke patients and caregivers. The intervention is capable of improving the quality of life of caregivers and survivors, increasing the benefit finding of caregivers and reducing the burden of caregivers.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The benefit-finding intervention is capable of improving the health condition of stroke patients and caregivers.

What have antidepressants been tested for? A systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: Trials of antidepressants may be driven mainly by commercial interests, focusing on prevalent diseases and everyday problems. No one can live a full life without experiencing several of the problems for which these drugs were tested. Antidepressants, sometimes called happy pills, could be seen as the modern version of Aldous Huxley's soma pill intended to keep everyone happy in the "Brave New World".

COVID-19 Care Will Not End at Discharge —Government Help for the Uninsured Shouldn’t Either
Our patient had spent nearly a month on a ventilator, his lungs so diseased that every effort to allow him to breathe on his own had failed. And then, finally, he improved and the tube came out – he needed only oxygen from a mask. Now, he breathes without difficulty on his own.
But that is far from the whole story. Once off the ventilator, our patient – a previously healthy man in his 40s – was for a time unable to speak aside from occasional unintelligible sounds. Nor could he move his arms or legs. Happily, he has since recovered some of his ability to speak and move, but we still do not know how long-l...

Assessing the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of 18FLMI1195 in clinical imaging populations
Conclusions: These preliminary results suggest notable differences in the clearance and metabolic profiles of [18F]LMI1195 dependent on the given disease pathology. Radiotracer parent fraction can be equally measured by column-switching HPLC or SPE. These findings offer an important consideration for estimation of myocardial sympathetic nerve density using [18F]LMI1195 in patients suffering from cardiovascular disease.

Standardized outcome measures in stroke rehabilitation and falls after discharge: a cohort study - Campo M, Toglia J, Batistick-Aufox H, O'Dell MW.
INTRODUCTION: Individuals with stroke discharged from inpatient rehabilitation units (IRUs) are at increased risk for falls. In IRUs, standardized outcome measures (SOMs) have been used to predict falls, but the results have been mixed. OBJECTIVE: ...

Elderly patients with cervical spine fractures after ground level falls are at risk for blunt cerebrovascular injury - Gorman E, DiMaggio C, Frangos S, Klein M, Berry C, Bukur M.
BACKGROUND: Osteopenia is common in the elderly, increasing their risk of sustaining cervical fractures after ground level falls (GLFs). We sought to examine the incidence of blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) and subsequent stroke in elderly GLF patients...

Gait rehabilitation after stroke: review of the evidence of predictors, clinical outcomes and timing for interventions - Selves C, Stoquart G, Lejeune T.
The recovery of walking capacity is one of the main aims in stroke rehabilitation. Being able to predict if and when a patient is going to walk after stroke is of major interest in terms of management of the patients and their family's expectations and in ...
