Although COVID-19 is primarily known as a respiratory disease, there is growing evidence of neurological complications, such as ischemic stroke, in infected individuals. This study aims to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on acute ischemic stroke (AIS) using radiomic features extracted from brain MR images and machine learning methods. This retrospective study included MRI data from 57 patients diagnosed with AIS who presented to the Department of Radiology at Hacettepe University Hospital between March 2020 and September 2021.

Coagulation disorder is common among COVID-19 patients, particularly those afflicted with the severe form of the disease. Manifestations of thrombotic complications such as pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), ischemic stroke, cardiac infarction and arterial embolism is high in COVID-19 patients which have been assessed in various studies (5).It seems that COVID-19-related coagulopathy is a combination of low-grade DIC and pulmonary thrombotic microangiopathy which can have a significant effect on organ dysfunction in patients with severe COVID-19 (6).

The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), particularly diclofenac, during the COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns due to its potential to worsen disease progression. This commentary evaluates key risks associated with diclofenac and highlights the critical role of pharmacists in mitigating adverse outcomes through careful medication management and patient education. Diclofenac poses unique risks due to its ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction.

This study aims to reveal potential biomarkers and drugs for COVID-19-related IS through bioinformatics methods. We collected two gene expression profiling datasets, GSE16561 and GSE213313, and selected GSE179879 and GSE196822 as validation sets for analysis.
