CT Scanning in Suspected Stroke or Head Trauma: Is it Worth Going the Extra Mile and Including the Chest to Screen for COVID-19 Infection? ADULT BRAIN
CONCLUSIONS: The sensitivity of additional chest CT is fairly high. However, a negative result does not exclude COVID-19. The positive predictive value is poor. Correlation of chest CT results with epidemiologic history and clinical presentation, along with real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, is needed for confirmation.

Aortic arch thrombosis complicated by an embolic stroke in a patient with COVID-19: A case report
CONCLUSION: Aortic thrombosis is a devastating condition that can be easily missed without clinical suspicion. Our patient developed acute ischemic stroke, most likely embolic originating from the aortic thrombus. The clinician should consider this condition in any COVID-19 patient presenting with thromboembolic events, such as stroke or acute limb ischemia. Further study is required to explain the pathophysiology of arterial/venous thrombosis in mild-moderate COVID-19 cases.PMID:34457268 | PMC:PMC8381619 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102760

Effect of Capsaicin Atomization-Induced Cough on Sputum Excretion in Tracheotomized Patients After Hemorrhagic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions Capsaicin atomization-induced cough can effectively promote sputum excretion of hemorrhagic stroke patients undergoing tracheotomy and has a good safety profile. The Clinical Trial registration number of this study is ChiCTR2000037772 (http://www.chictr.org.cns). Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.16821352.PMID:34694869 | DOI:10.1044/2021_JSLHR-21-00151

Decreased Diaphragm Excursion in Stroke Patients With Dysphagia as Assessed by M-Mode Sonography
To record diaphragm excursion via M-mode ultrasonography in stroke patients with dysphagia and determine whether they present reduced diaphragm excursion during voluntary cough compared with stroke patients without dysphagia and healthy subjects.

Diastolic dysfunction reduces stroke volume during daily's life activities in patients with severe aortic stenosis
Pathophysiologic consequences of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and fibrosis, as these occur in aortic stenosis, are elevated filling and left atrial (LA) pressures [1]. Depending on the time duration of pressure overload, LA volume increases proportionally to the degree of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction [2]. Elevated LA pressure aims to ensure adequate LV filling and, consequently, stroke volume but may return to normal levels during certain daily activities (e.g., cough, defecation, lifting a heavy or even medium load), which produce a preload reduction, possibly compromising LV both filling and stroke volume [1].

Speech Pathology Reliability for Stroke Swallowing Screening Items
This study examined speech-language pathologists’ (SLPs) reliability in interpreting screening items. Swallowing screening was completed in 75 individuals admitted with stroke symptoms. Screening items evaluated were lethargy, dysarthria, wet voice unrelated to swallowing, abnormal volitional cough, and cough, throat clear, wet voice after swallowing, and inability to continuously drink with ingestion of 5 and 90 ml water. Two SLPs, each with more than 10 years of experience, made simultaneous independent judgments of the same observations obtained from the screening. Overall, generally high agreement was identified be...

High blood pressure: Why me?
“I go to the gym, and I never add salt. So why do I have high blood pressure?” Despite its astonishing prevalence of one in three Americans, many people struggle with the diagnosis of high blood pressure, or hypertension. It’s worth exploring why, because being an active participant in your care is crucial for optimal blood pressure control. Certain features make any diagnosis easier to accept: First, people are more likely to accept a diagnosis if they have symptoms. A person with cough and fever will believe a diagnosis of pneumonia. But someone who feels fine would not. Next, people more readily accept a diagnosi...

Case report: Dysphagia after COVID-19 infection in a stroke patient —Is neurostimulation a potential management?
A 90-year-old man with stroke was weaned from tube feeding 4 months after stroke onset. However, he had a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection after 2 months and suffered from drastically worsened oropharyngeal dysphagia that required a reinsertion of the nasogastric tube. A videofluoroscopic swallowing study revealed poor bolus oral transit, significantly delayed swallowing reflex, reduced pharyngeal movements, and insufficient cough response. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and neuromuscular electrical stimulation were applied, in addition to conventional swallowing training. The feeding tube was re...

Comment on: Respiratory Muscle Training Reduces Respiratory Complications and Improves Swallowing Function After Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
We read with great interest the article titled "Respiratory Muscle Training Reduces Respiratory Complications and Improves Swallowing Function After Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis" published in the recent issue of the Arch Phys Med Rehabil.1 This paper summarized the available evidence to assess whether respiratory muscle training could reduce respiratory complications in patients after stroke. The authors concluded that respiratory muscle training was effective in reducing the risk of respiratory complications and improving swallowing function; however, no significant effect of the exercise on cough function was observed.
