Acute Occupational and Physical Therapy for COVID-19 Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study
In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus strain SARS-CoV2 (the virus causing COVID-19) a global pandemic.24 The severity of illness in those exhibiting symptoms ranges from mild (cough, shortness of breath, fatigue) to severe (acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), thrombosis, stroke, and death).4,11 Patients have also acquired acute polyradiculoneuritis (Guillain Barre syndrome) at a disproportionately high rate, contributing to functional limitations that require specialized and intensive rehabilitation.

Letter to the Editor on “Traditional Cardiovascular Risk Factors Strongly Underestimate the 5-Year Occurrence of Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality in Spinal Cord Injured Individuals”
Barton et al's1 article studies cardiovascular risk in a cohort of individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI). As the authors noted, the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) was derived to identify risk factors for cardiovascular disease. It is important to note, however, that the outcome measure for this risk score is defined as a “composite of coronary heart disease (coronary death, myocardial infarction, coronary insufficiency, and angina), cerebrovascular events (including ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stoke, and transient ischemic attack), peripheral artery disease (intermittent claudication), and heart failure.”2 This com...

Carotid Artery Thrombus Caused by Severe Iron Deficiency Anemia Induced Reactive Thrombocytosis, Leading to Stroke in a Young Patient
We report a case of a 42 year old female with history of iron deficiency anemia (IDA),fibroid uterus, menorrhagia, thrombocytosis and cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in 2012 with no residual deficits, who presented with expressive aphasia and left sided hemiparesis concerning for a right middle cerebral artery infarct. Patient was found to be a candidate for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and received tPA within 60 minutes of arrival to the hospital with improvement in her symptoms.
