SARS-COV-2 - the pandemic of the XXI century, clinical manifestations - neurological implications
J Med Life. 2022 Mar;15(3):319-327. doi: 10.25122/jml-2020-0151.ABSTRACTIn December 2019, in Wuhan, China, the first cases of infection with SARS-CoV 2 responsible for COVID-19 disease were identified. SARS-CoV 2 was declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020, and since then has attracted the medical world's attention. The threat to humans' health that this emerging pandemic could leave raises awareness on the importance of understanding the mechanisms that underlie the developing conditions. The epidemiology, clinical picture, and pathogenesis of COVID-19 show that this virus presents new strategies to overcome the past defens...

Nearly Everyone in the World is Breathing Polluted Air, Says WHO
(GENEVA, Switzerland) — The U.N. health agency says nearly everybody in the world breathes air that doesn’t meet its standards for air quality, calling for more action to reduce fossil-fuel use, which generates pollutants that cause respiratory and blood-flow problems and lead to millions of preventable deaths each year. The World Health Organization, about six months after tightening its guidelines on air quality, on Monday issued an update to its database on air quality that draws on information from a growing number of cities, towns, and villages across the globe — now totaling over 6,000 municipalitie...

COVID-19 meets neurointervention on the pages of JNIS
As 2019 came to a close, a novel B-coronavirus, labeled by the World Health Organization as COVID-19, was noted to be spreading in China.1 The COVID-19 virus is an enveloped single-strand, positive-sense RNA, which means that the virus can use its RNA as the template from which to create proteins needed for propagation and, ultimately, spread. The name coronavirus refers to the characteristic crown-like appearance of these viruses that is seen on electron microscopy. By spring 2020, COVID-19 was spreading rapidly throughout the United States and Europe, and neurointerventionalists soon found themselves on the frontline.2 T...

Impact of COVID-19 on Acute Stroke Presentation in a Designated COVID-19 Hospital
Conclusions: Although fewer acute stroke patients sought medical care in this designated COVID-19 hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic, this type of hospital was more efficient for timely treatment of acute stroke. Recognizing how acute strokes presented in designated COVID-19 hospitals will contribute to appropriate adjustments in strategy for dealing with acute stroke during COVID-19 and future pandemics.

Global research trends in COVID-19 with MRI and PET/CT: a scoping review with bibliometric and network analyses
ConclusionCOVID-19 pandemic is still spreading worldwide, and the knowledge about its different facets continues advancing. MRI and PET/CT are being used in more than 50% of the selected studies; research trends span seven categories, no only the diagnostic but others like socio-economic impact and pathogenesis Developed countries had an advantage by having hospitals with more resources, including MRI and PET/CT facilities in the same institution to supplement basic assessment in patients with COVID-19.

Management of endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke amid the COVID-2019 pandemic: a multicenter survey in China
Conclusions: The volume of EVT for acute ischemic stroke severely declined after lockdown in China. Designating a specific area for COVID-19 screening, insufficient personal protection and understaffing may exacerbate the volume decline of EVT.PMID:34375569 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2021.1939236
