Introduction: Diabetes and hyperglycemia are major risk factors that can increase infarction volume and contribute to poor functional status. Our study aim was to investigate the effect of stress hyperglycemia on various safety and efficacy outcomes in patients with large vessel occlusions (LVOs) undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT) with or without diabetes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of consecutive LVO patient data treated with MT at a Comprehensive Stroke Center in the Mid-South was conducted.
Article Synopsis
- Black individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience more severe disease progression and disability compared to White individuals, a disparity that is not well-understood.
- A study analyzed data from 500 MS patients, finding that 39.2% were Black, with Black patients more likely to have higher disability scores and greater ambulatory assistance needs than their White counterparts.
- The differences in disability outcomes suggest that Black people with MS face greater challenges, potentially linked to disease type and gender, indicating a need for further research to uncover the underlying factors.

COVID-19 infection may present with a range of neurologic symptoms given viral neurotropic and neuroinvasive properties. Postinfectious HCP is a severe complication as a potential sequela of COVID-19 infection.
