Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic in stroke code activations in the region of Madrid: A retrospective study
Acute sstroke is the most common time-dependent disease attended in the emergency medical service (EMS) of Madrid (SUMMA 112). Community of Madrid has been one of the most affected regions in Spain by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. A significant reduction in acute sstroke hospital admissions has been reported during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the same period 1 year before. As international clinical practice guidelines support those patients with suspected acute stroke should be accessed via EMS, it is important to know whether the pandemic has jeopardized urgent pre-hospital stroke care, the first...

Acute Ischaemic Stroke Incidence after Coronavirus Vaccine in Indonesia: Case Series
Curr Neurovasc Res. 2021 Sep 26. doi: 10.2174/1567202618666210927095613. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCoronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. Indonesia had reported a 2.8% of mortality rate up to June 2021. A strategy to control the virus spreading is by vaccination. The Indonesian Food and Drug Monitoring Agency had approved the use of CoronaVac, an inactivated virus vaccine developed by Sinovac. Most adverse events following immunization (AEFI) for CoronaVac are mild, and the most common symptoms are injection-site pain, headache, and fatigue. Neurovascular adv...

Hospital admissions of acute cerebrovascular diseases during and after the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic: a state-wide experience from Austria
AbstractWe investigated hospital admission rates for the entire spectrum of acute cerebrovascular diseases and of recanalization treatments for ischaemic stroke (IS) in the Austrian federal state of Styria during and also after the first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) wave. We retrospectively identified all patients with transient ischaemic attack (TIA), IS and non-traumatic intracranial haemorrhage (ICH; including intracerebral, subdural and subarachnoid bleeding types) admitted to one of the 11 public hospitals in Styria (covering > 95% of inhospital cerebrovascular events in this region). Information was e...

Pediatric COVID-19 Cases Are Surging, Pushing Hospitals —and Health Care Workers—to Their Breaking Points
Aug. 20 was a good day in the pediatric intensive care unit at Children’s Hospital New Orleans. Carvase Perrilloux, a two-month-old baby who’d come in about a week earlier with respiratory syncytial virus and COVID-19, was finally ready to breathe without the ventilator keeping his tiny body alive. “You did it!” nurses in PPE cooed as they removed the tube from his airway and he took his first solo gasp, bare toes kicking.
Downstairs, Quintetta Edwards was preparing for her 17-year-old son, Nelson Alexis III, to be discharged after spending more than two weeks in the hospital with COVID-19—fir...

Increased Stroke Severity, ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction, Type A Aortic Dissection, and Deaths at Home in an Early Epicenter of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic
The effect of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on conditions other than COVID-19 has been difficult to quantify. Early reports suggested widespread delays in acute care; however, the extended effects of the pandemic on life-threatening conditions has not been reported. We evaluated the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiovascular pathology at a tertiary care hospital.

P-031 Effect of COVID-19 on acute ischemic stroke: population-level experience
ConclusionIn this population-level study, significant decreases in AIS volume were observed with slightly higher incidence in younger population and higher LVO strokes. Rates of thrombolysis and thrombectomy remained unchanged but patients appeared to have worse outcomes.Disclosures Y. Kim: None. S. Khose: None. S. Salazar-Marioni: None. R. Abdelkhaleq: None. S.

For HIV/AIDS Survivors, COVID-19 Reawakened Old Trauma —And Renewed Calls for Change
Forty years ago this month, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report noted a rare lung infection among five otherwise healthy gay men in Los Angeles, Calif. Though they didn’t know it at the time, the scientists had written about what would turn out to be one of the historical moments that launched the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) epidemic.
Since then, HIV/AIDS has killed an estimated 35 million people, including 534,000 people in the U.S. from 1990 to 2018 alone, according to UNAIDS, making it one of the deadliest epidemics in modern history. Over...

Interaction between thrombin potential and age on early clinical outcome in patients hospitalized for COVID-19
AbstractPatients with Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID ‐19) have haemostatic dysfunction and are at higher risk of thrombotic complications. Although age is a major risk factor for outcome impairment in COVID-19, its impact on coagulative patterns here is still unclear. We investigated the association of Endogenous Thrombin Potential (ETP) with thromb otic and haemorrhagic events according to different ages in patients admitted for COVID-19. A total of 27 patients with COVID‐19-related pneumonia, without need for intensive care unit admission or mechanical ventilation at hospital presentation, and 24 controls with non-C...
