Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the peripheral and central auditory pathways in adult individuals after COVID-19 infection.
Method: A total of 44 individuals aged between 19 and 58 years, of both genders, post-COVID-19 infection, confirmed by serological tests, with no previous hearing complaints and no risk factors for hearing loss, were assessed. All the participants underwent the following procedures: pure tone audiometry, logoaudiometry, immitanciometry, and Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials (BAEP), in addition to answering a questionnaire about auditory symptoms.
To investigate the time-dependent effects of traditional risk factors on functional disability in all-cause mortality post-stroke, we evaluated data from a long-term stroke cohort. Baseline cerebrovascular risk factors (CVRF) and functionality at 1 and 6 months were evaluated in survivors from a prospective stroke cohort using the modified Rankin scale (m-RS), which classifies participants as improvement of disability, unchanged disability (at least moderate), and worsening disability. Cox regression models considering baseline risk factors, medication use, and functionality 6 months after stroke were fitted to identify their time-dependent effects up to 12 years of follow-up.

Objective: To analyze the association between AFF diagnosis and ICVH metrics and scores in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil).
Methods: This study analyzed data from 13,141 participants with complete data.
Aim: To investigate the association between medication use and long-term all-cause mortality in a Brazilian stroke cohort.
Methods: Both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke were evaluated. Medication use was assessed as: never, only pre-stroke, only post-stroke, and continuous use.
Article Synopsis
- IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune condition that can cause tumor-like swelling in various organs, identifiable through physical exams and imaging.
- A case study describes a 38-year-old male with chronic pain, leg and scrotum swelling, skin lesions, and an enlarged, tender liver, ultimately revealing a large mass affecting the aorta and veins.
- A biopsy confirmed IgG4-RD, and the patient responded well to glucocorticoid treatment, leading to remission of the abdominal mass.
