Using more-detailed data for 2003 through 2012, the researchers found that rates […]Related:California vaccination rate hits new high after tougher immunization lawRisk of a rare but deadly mouse-borne virus increases in the springThe federal panel that opposed prostate cancer screening just changed its mind

Brain perfusion single photon emission computed tomography abnormality in MRI-negative stroke-like patients post COVID-19 vaccination
Stroke-like symptoms after COVID-19 vaccination was thought to be functional if there was no anatomical image abnormality. We aimed to analyze brain perfusion changes in these patients. A case-control study of brain perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) of 12 vaccinated patients with left-sided stroke-like symptoms were compared with 12 age- and gender-matched normal interictal brain SPECTs using voxel-based analysis. Significant hyperperfusion was seen on the right side in postcentral, inferior parietal, mid temporal, parahippocampal, and caudate regions, and on the left side in the thalamus, hippoc...

Beneficial Effects of Vaccination on Cardiovascular Events: Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, Heart Failure
Influenza and pneumococcal infections have been suggested to be potential risk factors for causing adverse cardiovascular events, especially in high-risk patients. Vaccination against respiratory infections in patients with established cardiovascular disease (CVD) could serve as a potential cost-effective intervention to improve their clinical outcomes and cardiac societies have encouraged it. Previous studies have shown that influenza vaccination reduce mortality, acute coronary syndromes and hospitalization in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and/or heart failure (HF). However, there is a paucity of randomized ...

Deathly Ill Coronavirus Patients Could Be Saved By Heart Attack And Stroke Drug
BOSTON (CBS) — TPA is a drug that is used to help stroke and heart attack victims. It works by breaking up or busting blood clots. Doctors at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center are now using it in a clinical trial on gravely ill coronavirus patients.
“There’s a lot of very small blood clots accumulating in the lungs of these patients,” said Dr. Christopher Barrett. “And that seems to be at least contributory, if not the predominant reason, that their respiratory failure is so bad.”
Dr. Barrett says TPA could help patients recover faster, free up ventilators and even prevent people from...
