Chronic cerebral aspects of long COVID, post ‐stroke syndromes and similar states share their pathogenesis and perispinal etanercept treatment logic
This article is about how the neurological aspects of long COVID (fatigue, neurogenic pain, loss of ability to taste or smell), can be best understood, and treated. For this purpose, the literature on TNF and brain function, both physiological and disease-associated, and how this is being applied to various long-term neurodegenerative conditions, is discussed. AbstractThe chronic neurological aspects of traumatic brain injury, post-stroke syndromes, long COVID-19, persistent Lyme disease, and influenza encephalopathy having close pathophysiological parallels that warrant being investigated in an integrated manner. A mechan...

Phase I/II parallel double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial of perispinal etanercept for chronic stroke: improved mobility and pain alleviation.
Conclusions: Perispinal etanercept can provide significant and ongoing benefits for the chronic post-stroke management of pain and greater shoulder flexion by the paretic arm. Effects are rapid and highly significant, supporting direct action on brain function.Trial registration: ACTRN12615001377527 and Universal Trial Number U1111-1174-3242.

Preventable Cases of Oral Anticoagulant-Induced Bleeding: Data From the Spontaneous Reporting System
Conclusion: Our findings describe the most reported risk factors for preventability of oral anticoagulant-induced bleedings. These factors may be useful for targeting interventions to improve pharmacovigilance activities in our regional territory and to reduce the burden of medication errors and inappropriate prescription. Introduction Oral anticoagulant therapy is widely used for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation, or for the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (Raj et al., 1994; Monaco et al., 2017). Oral anticoagulants can be di...
