Article Synopsis
- * A case involving a 67-year-old Iranian man displayed neurological symptoms of Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) prior to any signs of lung issues related to COVID-19.
- * The findings suggest that ADEM could be an early indication of COVID-19 infection, emphasizing the need to recognize neurological symptoms in patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the accuracy of Doppler Ultrasonography (DUS) compared to Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) in assessing stenosis (narrowing) of Internal Carotid Arteries (ICAs) and Vertebral Arteries (VAs), with DSA being the standard reference.
- DUS showed moderate agreement with DSA for ICA stenosis classification, being most accurate for extreme stenosis levels (0-15% and 100%) but less accurate for moderate levels (50-69% and 70-99%).
- The findings suggest DUS is a viable first-line screening tool for ICA stenosis but is less effective for assessing VA sten

Introduction: Socioeconomic determinants along with genetic status may affect fatality rate of COVID-19. We intend to investigate the adjusted effects of the HLA-DRB1 alleles and socioeconomic determinants including gross domestic product per capita (GDP cap) and health expenditure per capita (HE cap) in fatality of COVID-19 during the early phase of epidemic in a group of countries.
Methods: As an ecological study, early exposure to epidemics was defined as having more than 5000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 from 1 March 2020 to 1 April 2020.
