Lessons from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2003 Pandemic as Evidence to Advocate for Stroke Public Education During the Current Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic.
CONCLUSIONS: During the SARS pandemic, there was a reduction in the number of stroke admissions, and this was apparent during both the local SARS and worldwide SARS outbreak periods. We should take appropriate steps through public education to minimise the expected reduced stroke admissions during the COVID-19 pandemic, inferred from the findings during the SARS pandemic.

SARS ‐CoV2 disease seen through the prism of acutely decompensated chronic kidney disease and ischemic stroke: What lesson we have learned from using prophylaxis therapy of vascular thromboembolism?
Our case underlines the tight management of antithrombotic therapy in the context of acutely decompensated chronic kidney disease, ischemic stroke, and SARS ‐CoV2 infection, the development of stroke as a SARS‐CoV2 complication increase the chances of adverse outcomes that may be mitigated by a rapid recognition and institution of available treatments. AbstractOur case underlines the tight management of antithrombotic therapy in the context of acutely decompensated chronic kidney disease, ischemic stroke, and SARS ‐CoV2 infection, the development of stroke as a SARS‐CoV2 complication increase the chances of adverse...

Acute delirium as an initial manifestation of COVID-19 patients with acute ischemic stroke: Report on two cases
We report two hospitalized cases with SARS-CoV-2 infection and elevated serum D-dimer levels having acute delirium as the initial manifestation of AIS. The diagnostic processes were challenging and time-consuming, so reperfusion therapy could not be given in the therapeutic time window. The diagnoses of AIS were finally made by brain magnetic resonance imaging which showed diffusion restriction at the right middle cerebral artery territory in both cases. Features of psychiatric complications and stroke in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients are reviewed. For the hospitalized COVID-19 patients with elevated levels ...

Ischemic stroke in the setting of supratherapeutic International Normalized Ratio following coronavirus disease 2019 infection: a case report
ConclusionsThis case report highlights the potential for thromboembolic events, including stroke, in patients with COVID-19 infection, even when receiving therapeutic anticoagulation therapy. Healthcare providers should be vigilant for signs of thrombosis in COVID-19 patients, particularly those with pre-existing risk factors. Further research is necessary to understand the pathophysiology and optimal management of thrombotic complications in COVID-19 patients.

A Retrospective Observational Study of Neurological Manifestations in COVID-19 (SON-CoV)
Conclusion: CNS symptoms of COVID-19 are more common than PNS symptoms. Stroke is the most frequent (46%) COVID-CNS symptom, which occurs in people of age above 35 years and is associated with high mortality.PMID:37355862 | DOI:10.5005/japi-11001-0107

Hypothermia treatment reduced cyclin-dependent kinase 5-mediated inflammation in ischemic stroke and improved outcomes in ischemic stroke patients
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread exponentially worldwide. In Brazil, the number of infected people diagnosed has been increasing and, as in other countries, it has been associated with a high risk of contamination in healthcare teams. For healthcare professionals, the full use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is mandatory, such as wearing surgical or filtering facepiece class 2 (FFP2) masks, waterproof aprons, gloves, and goggles, in addition to training in care processes. A reduction in the number of face-to-face visits an...

Does a history of cardiovascular disease or cancer affect mortality after SARS-CoV-2 infection?
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease and cancer have been described as possible risk factors for COVID-19 mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a history of cardiovascular disease or cancer affects the risk of dying after a COVID-19 diagnosis in Norway.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: Data were compiled from the Norwegian Surveillance System for Communicable Diseases, the Norwegian Cardiovascular Disease Registry and the Cancer Registry of Norway. Univariable and multivariable regression models were used to calculate both relative and absolute risk.
RESULTS: In the first half of 20...

Bifacial weakness with paresthesia – a rare Guillain–Barré syndrome subtype associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection
Orv Hetil. 2021 Nov 7;162(45):1803-1807. doi: 10.1556/650.2021.32355.ABSTRACTÖsszefoglaló. A COVID-19 világméretű járvány kapcsán már jól ismertek az általános akut tünetek, mint a láz, a száraz köhögés, a nehézlégzés, a tüdőgyulladás, a hasi panaszok, a hasmenés, az ízérzés- és szaglásvesztés. Talán kevésbé ismertek a betegség neurológiai szövődményei: az encephalitis, a fejfájás és szédülés, az ischaemiás stroke, az akut haemorrhagiás nekrotizáló encephalopathia, de agitáltság és exekutív funkciózavar is kialakulhat. Hosszabb távon az úgynevezett poszt-COVID-szindr...
