Neurocognitive Rehabilitation in COVID-19 Patients: A Clinical Review.

: COVID-19 has affected many people all around the world for more than two years now have suffered many long-term consequences which is commonly referred to as long-haulers. Despite multiorgan complaints in long haulers, symptoms related to cognitive functions commonly referred as brain fog are seen in the high risk covid patients with age more than 50, women more than men, obesity, asthma and those who experienced more than five symptoms during the first week of covid illness. Long term isolation has certainly contributed to high level of anxiety and stress calling for an empathetic response to this group of covid patients as there is no specific test to detect long haulers and no specific cognitive rehabilitation techniques available as of today.

An unusual presentation of hemiparesis: Rapidly progressing meningitis secondary to acute mastoiditis.

A sixty-three year-old male who arrived to our emergency department with signs and symptoms of an acute left middle cerebral artery cerebrovascular accident. Initial neurovascular imaging failed to demonstrate any abnormalities that explained his symptoms. His neurologic status rapidly deteriorated in conjunction with the development of severe sepsis.

A novel method to assess rate of force relaxation: reliability and comparisons with rate of force development across various muscles.

Purpose: The ability to generate quick submaximal muscle forces followed by quick relaxations is essential for various athletic and daily tasks. While force generation has been studied extensively, the studies of force relaxation are scarce. Therefore, we aimed to develop the rate of force relaxation scaling factor (RFR-SF) as a kinetic variable to assess the ability to relax submaximal muscle forces quickly.
