The cognitive and psychiatric subacute impairment in severe Covid-19.

Neurologic impairment persisting months after acute severe SARS-CoV-2 infection has been described because of several pathogenic mechanisms, including persistent systemic inflammation. The objective of this study is to analyze the selective involvement of the different cognitive domains and the existence of related biomarkers. Cross-sectional multicentric study of patients who survived severe infection with SARS-CoV-2 consecutively recruited between 90 and 120 days after hospital discharge.

External Validation of the ISAN, A2DS2, and AIS-APS Scores for Predicting Stroke-Associated Pneumonia.

Background: The Prestroke Independence, Sex, Age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (ISAN), Age, Atrial Fibrillation, Dysphagia, male sex, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (A2DS2), and acute ischemic stroke-associated pneumonia score (AIS-APS) scores were created to predict stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP), one of the most important medical stroke complications. External validation of all such scores in an acute stroke population was the aim of our study.

Methods: Patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke were prospectively enrolled in the multicenter Stroke-Induced Pneumonia in Andalucía project between October 2014 and May 2016.

Early endoscopy-assisted treatment of multiple-suture craniosynostosis.

Aims: Endoscopy-assisted treatment of craniosynostosis constitutes a novel modality for management of complex craniosynostoses. In this work, the authors aimed to assess the safety and advantages of performing these techniques in patients under 4 months of age.

Patients And Methods: Our study group comprised patients aged 4 months or younger with multiple-suture craniosynostosis undergoing endoscopy-assisted cranial remodeling.

Initial experience involving treatment and retreatment with carmustine wafers in combination with oral temozolomide: long-term survival in a child with relapsed glioblastoma multiforme.

Background: Glioblastomas occur infrequently in children, and the prognosis is better than for glioblastomas seen in adults. Aggressive treatment is justified in pediatric patients.

Observations: We present the case of a 6-year-old child with malignant posterior temporal glioma treated with surgery, radiotherapy, local chemotherapy with carmustine wafers, and oral therapy with temozolomide, both at initial diagnosis and at relapse 18 months later.

[Neonatal intracranial haemorrhage secondary to spontaneous rupture of an aneurysm. Illustrative case and literature review].

Introduction: Intracranial arterial aneurysms are little frequent among the pediatric age group but the frequency is still lower in children under 1 year of age and extremely rare in neonates. We present a case, review literature and propose common characteristics and management of this pathology.

Case Report: A term newborn suffered reduction of the level of conscience.
