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.

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].

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].

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].

Relationship of herpes simplex encephalitis and transcranial direct current stimulation–a case report
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 r...

Could pharmacological curtailment of the RhoA/Rho-kinase pathway reverse the endothelial barrier dysfunction associated with Ebola virus infection?
Publication date: February 2015 Source:Antiviral Research, Volume 114 Author(s): Shahram Eisa-Beygi , Xiao-Yan Wen 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 benef...

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.
