Both subarachnoid hemorrhage and intraparenchymal hemorrhage have been reported in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. We report a 38-year-old male patient who was initially admitted for alcoholic hepatitis and had a mild COVID-19 infection that was confirmed 10 days prior to presentation. During his hospitalization, he reported worsening of his occipital headache that started when he tested positive for COVID-19. Neurological examination was intact and no history of trauma, hypertension, illicit drug use, or family history of brain aneurysm was reported. Investigating his worsening headache revealed a tiny, right-sided, posterior subarachnoid hemorrhage. No coagulopathy was evident. No aneurysm was seen on the cerebral angiogram. The patient was managed conservatively. This case raises the point of the importance of investigating headaches even in mild COVID-19 infection, as it may herald intracranial bleeding.

ObjectivePatients who do not wait (DNW) to be seen are a problem for emergency department (ED) care. The aim of this study was to identify the rate and reasons of DNW patients during 1month of the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsAn observational cohort study of DNW patients presenting to Austin Hospital ED was carried out in August 2021.

Purpose: Few investigational reports have evaluated the status of cardiovascular manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during the Omicron dominance period. In this study, we aimed to investigate the cardiac function parameters and clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19 before and after the Omicron variant (OV) propagation.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 88 adult patients with COVID-19 who underwent clinically indicated standard transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in intensive care wards.

Molecules were proposed to block the functional cycles of the influenza virus A and SARS-CoV- 2. The blocker molecules efficiently bind inside the M2 and E channels of influenza A and SARS-CoV-2 viruses and block diffusion of H^(+)/K^(+) ions, thus distorting the virus functional cycle. A family of positively charged (+2 e.
