High incidence of stroke and mortality in pediatric critical care patients with COVID-19 in Peru
CONCLUSION: Cerebrovascular events associated with COVID-19 in pediatric patients, including infants, must be recognized as one of the more severe presentations of this infection in pediatric patients.IMPACT: Pediatric patients with COVID-19 can present with hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes on presentation. Neurological presentation in pediatric patients with COVID-19 has high mortality. Mortality of pediatric patients with COVID-19 is associated with comorbidities. Pediatric presentation and outcomes of COVID-19 in different regions can be novel to previously described.PMID:33941862 | DOI:10.1038/s41390-021-01547-x

Depressive Symptoms Are Associated with Reduced Cardiac Function Among Hispanics: Results from the PREVENCION Study
ConclusionsIn the PREVENCION sample tested, depressive symptoms were independently associated with cardiac function among Hispanic adults, even above and beyond pertinent factors such as demographic factors, cardiovascular risk factors, and comorbidities. Future studies should determine whether depressive symptoms are prospectively associated with systolic dysfunction, and examine the bio-behavioral pathways of this association.

Overlooked Virus Killer
Sales of vitamin C supplements have tripled in the last few weeks… And the most powerful kind of vitamin C is sold out on Amazon. (More on that in a minute.) I’m glad to see people turning to vitamin C. But the the chewable form you usually find at the drugstore won’t give you the boost you’re looking for. You see, absorption — or bioavailability — is an issue, and your body can only absorb about 500 mg of this conventional form of vitamin C before you hit saturation. And that’s nowhere near enough. In a moment I’ll show you a better form of vitamin C… and how you can take ...

Challenges of Thrombolysis in a Developing Country: Characteristics and Outcomes in Peru
Background: The availability of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) remains limited worldwide, especially in low-income countries, where the burden of disability due to ischemic stroke is the highest. Aims: To evaluate outcomes and safety of IV-tPA at the only Peruvian reference institute for neurologic diseases. Methods: We conducted a prospective, observational study of stroke patients who received IV-tPA between 2009 and 2016. We assessed characteristics associated with good outcome (modified Rankine scale 0-2) at 3 months using a multivariate regression model; and factors correlated with clinical improvem...

A Novel Variant in Non-coding Region of GJB1 Is Associated With X-Linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 1 and Transient CNS Symptoms
Conclusion A novel GJB1 variant of c.-170T>G in non-coding region was found in this big Chinese CMTX1 pedigree. This is the first report of variant in non-coding DNA sequence associated with transient CNS symptoms. Thyroid malfunction may contribute to the CNS symptoms in this case. Ethics Statement This study has been reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University. Each member of the family provided written informed consent to the participation in the study, the genetic test, and authorized to publish the study including the photos in accordance with the Decl...
