Factors associated with COVID-19 related hospitalisation, critical care admission and mortality using linked primary and secondary care data
CONCLUSIONS: We confirm that age, sex, ethnicity, obesity, CKD and diabetes are important determinants of risk of COVID-19 hospitalisation or death. For the first time, we also identify people with learning disabilities and multi-morbidity as additional patient cohorts that need to be actively protected during COVID-19 waves.PMID:33942510 | DOI:10.1111/irv.12864

The emerging association between COVID-19 and acute stroke
Trends Neurosci. 2021 Apr 8:S0166-2236(21)00071-0. doi: 10.1016/j.tins.2021.03.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrior to COVID-19, only two human-tropic coronaviruses resulted in epidemics and cerebrovascular disease was rarely reported. Evidence now suggests that 1-6% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients develop stroke. According to some reports, stroke risk is more than sevenfold greater in patients with COVID-19 than influenza. Concerningly, outcomes of COVID-19-related stroke are often worse than in stroke patients without COVID-19 from the same cohorts. In this review, we highlight the emerging association between COVI...

One-Third of COVID-19 Survivors May Develop a Neuropsychiatric Disorder Within Months of Infection
One-third of individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 developed a psychiatric or neurological problem within six months of their diagnosis, according to astudy published Tuesday inThe Lancet Psychiatry. The prevalence of a post-COVID neurologic or psychiatric diagnosis was even greater among individuals with severe illness who had required hospitalization.“Given the size of the pandemic and the chronicity of many of the diagnoses and their consequences (for example, dementia, stroke, and intracranial hemorrhage), substantial effects on health and social care systems are likely to occur,” wrote Maxime Taque, Ph.D., of the Un...

The U.S. Death Rate Rose Significantly During the COVID-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 was the third-most-common cause of death in the U.S. in 2020, contributing to more than 375,000 deaths, and a 16% increase in the national death rate, according to provisional data published today by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). All told, more than 3.3 million people in the U.S. died in 2020, for a rate of about 829 deaths per 100,000 people. That’s up from about 715 deaths per 100,000 people in 2019.

Stroke risk higher than expected among COVID-19 patients
(American Heart Association) Analysis of data from the American Heart Association's COVID-19 CVD Registry of more than 20,000 U.S. adults hospitalized with COVID-19 through November 2020 found that, overall, COVID-19 patients had an increased risk of stroke compared with patients who had influenza or sepsis.COVID-19 patients with ischemic stroke were more likely to be older, male, Black race or have high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes or an irregular heartbeat.

Exercise alters Cardiac Function Independent of Acute Systemic Inflammation in Healthy Men
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2021 Mar 12. doi: 10.1152/ajpheart.00809.2020. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcute elevations in inflammatory cytokines have been demonstrated to increase aortic and left ventricular stiffness and reduce endothelial function in healthy subjects. As vascular and cardiac function are often transiently reduced following prolonged exercise, it is possible that cytokines released during exercise may contribute to these alterations. The a priori aims of this study were to determine if vaccine-induced increases in inflammatory-cytokines would reduce vascular and left ventricular function, whether ...

Risk of Hemorrhagic Stroke in Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019
To the Editor We read with interest the article by Merkler et al regarding the increased incidence of ischemic stroke in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) compared with those with influenza. The authors also reported that 13% of patients with COVID-19 were receiving anticoagulation at the time of the stroke. Could the authors comment on the rate of anticoagulant use in patients with COVID-19 who did not have an ischemic stroke? This would also be helpful to assess the possibility that anticoagulation may have been protective.

Complete Oculomotor Palsy after Influenza Vaccination in a Young Healthy Adult: A Case Report
We present a case report of a 25-year-old woman without any medical history who developed complete oculomotor palsy 2 weeks after influenza vaccination. Other possible causes of oculomotor nerve palsy, such as stroke, compressive lesions, infections, and autoimmune disorders, were eliminated by blood tests, cerebrospinal fluid examination, and imaging studies. Hence, influenza vaccine was considered as the likely cause.Case Rep Neurol 2021;13:35 –39
