Objective: To analyze clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with ischemic stroke associated with COVID-19.
Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis of all cases of COVID-19, including those complicated with ischemic stroke, admitted to the multispecialty infectious hospital in Ufa (Russia) in 2020, was performed. Multivariate analysis was used to identify the independent predictors of the development of ischemic stroke in patients with COVID-19.
Results: Eleven thousand forty hundred and thirty-two patients were admitted to the multidisciplinary infectious hospital during 2020, 1226 of them also suffered from ischemic stroke Independent predictors of ischemic stroke in COVID-19 included age and laboratory parameters: increase in number of leucocytes, erythrocytes and platelets, increase of the level of creatinine, glucose, total bilirubin and decrease of the level of total protein, and activated partial thromboplastin time.
Conclusion: Elderly people, patients with prominent systemic inflammatory response, which presented with leukocytosis, hypercoagulation, multiorgan failure of different severity and hypoproteinemia, were at higher risk of the development of ischemic stroke in COVID-19.

Purpose: Ischemic brain injury occurs when there is reduced or complete disruption of blood flow to a brain region, such as in stroke or severe traumatic brain injury. Even short interruptions can lead to devastating effects including excitotoxicity and widespread cell death. Despite many decades of research, there are still very few therapeutic options for patients suffering from brain ischemia.

This review summarizes the current research advances and guideline updates in neurocritical care. For the therapy of ischemic stroke, the extended treatment time window for thrombectomy and the emergence of novel thrombolytic agents and strategies have brought greater hope for patient recovery. Minimally invasive hematoma evacuation and goal-directed bundled management have shown clinical benefits in treating cerebral hemorrhage.

Perioperative myocardial injury is frequently caused by tachycardia from excessive sympathetic nervous system activity resulting from the surgical stimulation (type 2) rather than by rupture of atherosclerotic plaques with superimposed thrombosis (type 1). The elevated sympathetic nervous system activity results in tachycardia that induces demand ischemia within the myocardium and damages the heart muscle. A rise in troponin has been shown to be a reliable predictor of adverse cardiovascular events when measured in a population at risk.

Several neurological conditions, including transient global amnesia (TGA), may present an isolated sudden-onset temporary amnestic symptom. TGA is a benign, self-remitting neurological condition associated with hippocampal dysfunction. Meanwhile, certain other neurological conditions, such as cerebral ischemic stroke and hippocampal epilepsy, require appropriate therapeutic interventions.

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a complex neurological disorder characterized by the sudden disruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to severe and often irreversible damage. Despite advances in stroke management, the underlying molecular mechanisms and key factors involved in the development and progression of IS remain elusive. In recent years, the integration of high-throughput data analysis techniques has emerged as a powerful approach to unraveling the molecular intricacies of complex diseases.
