Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). First identified in December 2019, Wuhan, China, it has since become a global pandemic. Complications of COVID-19 are not limited to pulmonary system, but also include neurologic manifestations such as stroke. We report two cases coincidental presentation and cerebrovascular accide...

Hypertension significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular events and it is associated with high rates disability mortality. a common cause cerebrovascular accidents, which severely affect patients’ quality life lifespan. Current treatment strategies for hypertension are based primarily on medication lifestyle interventions. The renal sympathetic nervous system plays an important role in p...

Patent foramen ovale is frequently associated with embolic cerebrovascular accidents. The diagnosis of patent foramen ovale (PFO) is easier since the advent of transesophageal echocardiography but is invasive and does not allow to detect extracardiac RLS. Contrast transcranial Doppler ultrasound enables the detection of the passage of a contrast material injected into a peripheral vein to the c...

The advent of the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (or Non-Vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs)) have revolutionized the anticoagulation landscape. Patients who require anticoagulation now have freedom from frequent hospital or clinic visits for monitoring, do not have dietary restrictions, minimal drug interactions and lesser risk of intracranial bleeding. However, there are certain clinical...

Internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD) accounts for 25% of cerebrovascular accidents in young and middle-aged patients. Dissection occurs when the intimal wall of an artery is damaged as a result of trauma or defect. ICAD development after dental work is a relatively uncommon phenomenon. Our study highlights a rare presentation of ICAD that resulted from a direct lidocaine nerve block inject...

Recent observations suggest that pollen do not only interacts with the human immune system to elicit an allergic response in susceptible individuals. It would have a much broader impact on human health. This applies more especially, yet not exclusively, to three groups of diseases: non-allergic respiratory conditions, cardio- and cerebrovascular accidents, and psychiatric disorders including su...

Research about the effectiveness of communicative supports and advances in photographic technology has prompted changes in the way speech-language pathologists design and implement interventions for people with aphasia. The purpose of this paper is to describe the use of photographic images as a basis for developing communication supports for people with chronic aphasia secondary to sudden-onse...

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a relatively less common but important neurological condition comprising 5% of all the cerebrovascular accidents. In most populations the reported incidence is 6-7 per 100,000 person-years and one-third of survivors become dependent. It is a serious but potentially treatable cause of neurological morbidity. Multiple authors have identified the most unusual novel...

Transcatheter treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complex intervention performed in patients who are at inherently increased risk of a thromboembolic complication, including stroke. It is therefore not surprising that cerebrovascular accidents have been among the most feared complications since the inception of AF ablation. While improvements have been made to limit the incidence of thro...
