Background: Seizures are a frequent complication of strokes. The initial severity of the stroke is a risk factor for both seizure occurrence and poor functional recovery.
Aim: To determine whether epilepsy has a negative impact on functional recovery or is just a proxy for the initial severity of the stroke.
Early tolerability of Comirnaty vaccine in patients with chronic neurological diseases.
Rev Neurol (Paris)
December 2021
Patients with chronic neurological diseases may have predisposing risk factors for severe COVID-19 and should be considered as priority candidates for SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Nevertheless, the safety of RNA vaccine was evaluated in healthy volunteers or in patients with stable chronic medical conditions excluding patients with chronic neurological diseases. We report here the early tolerability of Comirnaty vaccine in 36 patients with chronic neurological diseases and demonstrate good early tolerability, better than found in healthy people in phase 3 trials.

- * Research found an additional repeat expansion site in the MARCH6 gene among European families, alongside previously identified expansions in the SAMD12 gene in Asia.
- * The study revealed significant variability in the size and structure of these repeat expansions and noted that large expansions can lead to genetic rearrangements in some cells, indicating a high level of instability.
