Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1140: The Risk Factors for Acute Cerebrovascular Accident (Stroke) in Patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)
This study investigates the risk factors, comorbidities, and outcomes in patients with SARS-VoV-2 infection and acute ischemic stroke compared to patients without these conditions. The present retrospective study was conducted in the King Abdullah International Medical Research Centre (KAIMRC), Ministry of National Guard, Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the period from April 2020 to February 2022. This study investigates the risk variables among the individuals who were diagnosed with either SARS-CoV-2 with stroke or patients with stroke alone. A total of 42,688 COVID-19 patients were registered, 187 cases of ...

Impact of virus clearance for the development of hemorrhagic stroke in chronic hepatitis C
In conclusion, HCV clearance reduced the development of intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke. In particular, HCV clearance reduced intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke to about one‐fourth in cirrhotic patients. J. Med. Virol. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1235: Ischaemic Stroke Occurring in a Patient Treated with Monoclonal Antibodies for COVID-19
In conclusion, among several side effects that have been described during the treatment of COVID-19 with sotrovimab, ischaemic stroke was not reported. Therefore, we here report a rare case of ischaemic stroke with early clinical manifestation after the administration of sotrovimab for the treatment of moderate COVID-19 in an immunocompromised patient for the first time.

Viruses, Vol. 14, Pages 2817: Thromboembolic Events in Patients with Influenza: A Scoping Review
Discussion: Our findings are important in clarifying which thromboembolic complications are more frequent in adults and children with influenza. Symptoms of pulmonary embolism and influenza can be very similar, so a careful clinical evaluation is required for proper patient management, possible instrumental deepening, and appropriate pharmacological interventions, especially for patients with respiratory failure.

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1598: Cerebrovascular Disease in COVID-19
h N. Nguyen Not in the history of transmissible illnesses has there been an infection as strongly associated with acute cerebrovascular disease as the novel human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. While the risk of stroke has known associations with other viral infections, such as influenza and human immunodeficiency virus, the risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke related to SARS-CoV-2 is unprecedented. Furthermore, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has so profoundly impacted psychosocial behaviors and modern medical care that we have witnessed shifts in epidemiology and have adapted our treatment practices to ...

Could pharmacological curtailment of the RhoA/Rho-kinase pathway reverse the endothelial barrier dysfunction associated with Ebola virus infection?
Abstract Activation of the RhoA/Rho-kinase (ROCK) pathway induces endothelial barrier dysfunction and increased vascular permeability, which is a hallmark of various life-threatening vascular pathologies. Therapeutic approaches aimed at inhibiting the RhoA/ROCK pathway have proven effective in the attenuation of vascular leakage observed in animal models of endotoxin-induced lung injury/sepsis, edema, autoimmune disorders, and stroke. These findings suggest that treatments targeting the ROCK pathway might be of benefit in the management of the Ebola virus disease (EVD), which is characterized by severe vascular le...

Relationship of Herpes Simplex Encephalitis and
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique that delivers weak polarizing direct currents (1–2mA) to the cortex using two electrodes placed on the scalp. During recent years, tDCS has been used for various neurologic disorders such as stroke, chronic pain, Parkinson's disease and depression [1–11]. Common side effects, though infrequent include mild tingling, fatigue, pruritus, headache, nausea and insomnia [12]. While it is well-known that herpes simplex virus reactivation may be triggered by trauma [13] (i.e surgery and UV–radiation), to date there has been no reporte...

Disseminated VZV infection and asymptomatic VZV vasculopathy after steroid abuse
Primary infection with VZV usually results in varicella, after which virus becomes latent in cranial nerve ganglia, dorsal root ganglia and autonomic ganglia along the entire neuraxis. VZV reactivation in elderly and immunocompromised individuals causes herpes zoster and other neurological diseases, including stroke (VZV vasculopathy). Zoster is also associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction [1].

Purpuric herpes zoster in patients in therapy with clopidogrel
Clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate is an adenosine diphosphate receptor antagonist belonging to the thienopyridine class. It is used for the prevention of vascular events in patients with atherothrombotic diseases manifested by recent myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke or peripheral arterial disease [1]. Clopidogrel provides greater reduction of the risk of recurrent ischemic events than acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in patients with a medical history of coronary artery bypass surgery, diabetes mellitus and in those in therapy with statins [1].

An unusual case of dengue infection presenting with hypokalemic paralysis with hypomagnesemia
Dengue is the most common arboviral disease prevalent mainly in tropical and subtropical regions [1,2]. It is caused by four serotypes, belonging to family flaviviridae [2]. Dengue can have diverse presentation, from asymptomatic infection to undifferentiated fever, dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, or dengue shock syndrome [1,3]. Neurological manifestations although rare, may include encephalopathy, meningoencephalitis, myositis, rhabdomyolysis, myelitis, stroke, hypokalemic paralysis, Guillain Barre Syndrome, papilledema, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, neuromyelitis optica and optic neuritis [4,5].

HCV false positive immunoassays in patients with LVAD: a potential trap!
Over the last decades, left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has become the therapeutic choice for patients with advanced heart failure [1]. Patients benefit from a LVAD in different situations: as a bridge to cardiac transplantation or to recover a better heart function, or as a destination therapy [2]. The outcome of patients with LVAD has improved but it requires a close monitoring to avoid complications as bleeding, stroke, malignant arrhythmias, pump thrombosis and infection.
