Ischemic stroke shortly after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2: A case-control study
Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 has been associated with rare occurrences of severe venous thromboses. Very little data exist about arterial ischemic strokes. We have assessed the features of ischemic strokes occurring shortly after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in the Cremona area, Italy.

Has COVID-19 played an unexpected “stroke” on the chain of survival?
The COVID-19 pandemics required several changes in stroke management and it may have influenced some clinical or functional characteristics. We aimed to evaluate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemics on stroke management during the first month of Italy lockdown. In addition, we described the emergency structured pathway adopted by an Italian University Hub Stroke Unit in the cross-border Italy-Slovenia area.

An Italian family carrying a new mutation in the COL4A1 gene
Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is a group of pathologies affecting small arteries, arterioles, capillaries and small veins in the brain [1]. Neurological findings include cognitive impairment, dysfunction of gait and balance, mood disorders, increased risk of stroke and dementia. Cerebral SVD is driven by a complex mix of environmental and genetic risk factors; both familial and sporadic conditions have been reported [2]. Mutations in the NOTCH3, HTRA1, COL4A1, COL4A2 and TREX1A genes are known to cause the familial forms of SVD [2].
