Introduction: Better characterizing moyamoya disease (MMD) from ischemic strokes of other etiologies may facilitate earlier diagnosis by raising suspicion for a diagnostic work-up.
Methods: To identify associated variables, MMD cases (n = 12) were compared against three sets of controls: age-, sex-, and race-matched controls of patients with general neurological disorders (n = 48), unmatched general controls (n = 48), and unmatched non-MMD ischemic stroke controls (n = 48).
Results: MMD patients were 32 years (p < 0.
Article Synopsis
- The study emphasizes the importance of understanding vaccine hesitancy to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19, particularly in high-risk groups such as minorities and individuals with neurological disorders.
- A survey conducted at a neuroscience institute in Hawaii revealed that 81.3% of patients were willing to get vaccinated, with specific factors like younger age, lower health concerns, and negative views on COVID-19 severity linked to hesitancy.
- Key predictors of vaccine hesitancy included reliance on social media for COVID-19 information, safety concerns about vaccines, and educational background, allowing the clinic to offer targeted education to those most at risk for hesitancy.
