[Three-month functional prognosis of patients hospitalised due to acute ischaemic stroke in Aragon: Rregional analysis of the impact of COVID-19].

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on ischaemic stroke management, with a reported decrease in hospital admissions, and even disruptions in healthcare and increased in-hospital mortality. However, there is a lack of evidence on the impact of the pandemic on functional prognosis. The aim of this study is to analyse the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 3-month functional outcomes of patients hospitalised due to acute ischaemic stroke in Aragon (Spain).

Epidemiology and characteristics of ischaemic stroke in young adults in Aragon.

Introduction: Stroke affects around 15 million people per year, with 10%-15% occurring in individuals under 50 years old (stroke in young adults). The prevalence of different vascular risk factors and healthcare strategies for stroke management vary worldwide, making the epidemiology and specific characteristics of stroke in each region an important area of research. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of different vascular risk factors and the aetiology and characteristics of ischaemic stroke in young adults in the autonomous community of Aragon, Spain.

[Study into what the population knows about strokes and vascular risk factors].

Introduction: The application of treatments in the acute phase of a stroke makes it necessary to reduce as far as possible the time required for patients to reach hospital. One of the factors associated with delayed care is the population's scant knowledge about the disease.

Subjects And Methods: Our aim is to analyse what the population knows about strokes and vascular risk factors, as well as their attitude towards it.

[Pronostic factors and survival in motor neuron disease].

Introduction: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common adult motor neuron disease (MND), presenting with a combination of upper (UMN) and lower (lmn) motor neuron signs, with high mortality. other less frequent mnd are progressive muscular atrophy (pma) and primary lateral sclerosis (pls).

Objectives: To describe demographic data, clinical forms of presentation and evolution of patients with MND, looking for prognostic indicators factors.

[A study of the risk factors in transient global amnesia and its differentiation from a transient ischemic attack].

Introduction: Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a clinical condition that has been described in many studies, but its pathophysiology is not fully understood. In recent years the theory of valvular insufficiency in the jugular vein has been added to the classical hypotheses that link it to migraine, to epilepsy and -the most widely accepted- to transient ischemic attacks (TIA), although the real origin of the condition has still not been determined.

Patients And Methods: In a retrospective study we compared 131 patients diagnosed with TGA between 1993 and 2004 with 262 patients who were diagnosed as having TIA over the same period.
