Ischemic Stroke in a 29-Year-Old Patient with COVID-19: A Case Report.

Increasing evidence reports a greater incidence of stroke among patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) than the non-COVID-19 population and suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection represents a risk factor for thromboembolic and acute ischemic stroke. Elderly people have higher risk factors associated with acute ischemic stroke or embolization vascular events, and advanced age is strongly associated with severe COVID-19 and death. We reported, instead, a case of an ischemic stroke in a young woman during her hospitalization for COVID-19-related pneumonia.

Intra-articular injection of botulinum toxin type A for shoulder pain in glenohumeral osteoarthritis: a case series summary and review of the literature.

Introduction: Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal diseases, and can be due to glenohumeral osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tear, impingement, tendinitis, adhesive capsulitis, and subacromial bursitis. Several therapies have been proposed, including steroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, intra-articular injections, and physical therapies. Many published studies have reported on the employment of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) to reduce pain in subjects with neurological and musculoskeletal diseases by inhibiting substance P release and other inflammatory factors.

Effect of intrathecal baclofen, botulinum toxin type A and a rehabilitation programme on locomotor function after spinal cord injury: a case report.

Objective: A few studies have reported the use of botulinum toxin injections after spinal cord injury, as this is the gold standard to treat focal spasticity. We report such a case here.

Case Report: A 38-year-old woman who had become paraplegic and care-dependent secondary to cervico-thoracic intramedullary ependymoma, presented 8 months later with painful lower limb spasticity, which was being treated with oral anti-spastic and benzodiazepine drugs with no therapeutic effect.

Effect of botulinum toxin type A, motor imagery and motor observation on motor function of hemiparetic upper limb after stroke.

Background: In rehabilitation settings, motor imagery, motor observation and mirror therapy serve as techniques for the recovery of paretic upper limb in patients with movement disorders after stroke, whereas botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) offers the best treatment for focal spasticity.

Case Reports: After haemorrhagic stroke, three patients (two men and one woman, mean age: 61.2 +/- 7.
