Arterial floating mural thrombi are a characteristic imaging pattern in SARS-CoV-2-related ischemic stroke.

Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a complication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We aimed to explore neurovascular imaging patterns in patients with SARS-CoV-2-related AIS.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical and radiological data of patients hospitalized with AIS and a positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 prior to AIS onset.

Cortical localization of microbleeds in cerebral amyloid angiopathy: an ultra high-field 7T MRI study.

The extent of cortical involvement of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)-related microbleeds (CMBs) remains unclear. We examined five consecutive patients with probable CAA and three non-demented elderly subjects with ultra-high field 7T MRI, to identify the precise location of CAA-related CMBs. In five CAA patients, 169 of a total of 170 lobar CMBs were located in cortical areas on 7T MRI, while a precise cortical versus juxtacortical localization was unable to be determined for 50/76 CMBs observed by conventional MRI.

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practice among Women and Doctors Concerning the Use of Folic Acid.

Background and Objective. Daily folic acid intake, prior to conception and in early pregnancy, significantly reduces neural tube defects (NTDs). We compared folic acid consumption among Jewish and Bedouin women and the recommendations of family physicians and gynecologists.
