Limited real-world data are available on outcomes following non-cardioembolic minor ischemic stroke (IS) or high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA), particularly in the United States (US). We examined outcomes and Medicare payments following any severity IS or TIA as well as the subgroup with minor IS or high-risk TIA. Medicare beneficiaries >65 years were identified using US nationwide Get with the Guidelines (GWTG)-Stroke Registry linked to Medicare claims data. The cohort consisted of patients enrolled in Medicare fee-for-service plan, hospitalized with non-cardioembolic IS or TIA between 2011 and 2014, segmenting a subgroup with minor IS (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] ≤5) or high-risk TIA (ABCD -score ≥6) compatible with the THALES clinical trial population. Outcomes included functional status at discharge, clinical outcomes (all-cause mortality, ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke, individually and as a composite), hospitalizations, and population average inpatient Medicand Medicare spending. There has been increasing reports associating the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with thromboembolic phenomenon including ischemic strokes and venous thromboembolism. Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare neurovascular emergency that has been observed in some COVID-19 patients, yet much remains to be learnt of its underlying pathophysiology. We present a case series of local patients with concomitant COVID-19 infection and CVT; and aim to perform a systematic review of known cases in the current literature. We describe two patients with concomitant COVID-19 infection and CVT from a nationwide registry in Singapore. We then conducted a literature search in PubMed and Embase using a suitable keyword search strategy from 1st December 2019 to 11th June 2020. All studies reporting CVT in COVID-19 patients were included. Nine studies and 14 COVID-19 patients with CVT were studied. The median age was 43 years (IQR=36-58) and majority had no significant past medical conditions (60.0%). The time taken from onset of COVID-19 symptoms to CVT diagnosis was a median of 7 days (IQR=6-14). CVT was commonly seen in the transverse (75.0%) and sigmoid sinus (50.0%); 33.3% had involvement of the deep venous sinus system. A significant proportion of patients had raised D-dimer (75.0%) and CRP levels (50.0%). Two patients reported presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. Most patients received anticoagulation (91.7%) while overall mortality rate was 45.5%. The high mortality rate of CVT in COVID-19 infection warrants a high index of suspicion from physicians, and early treatment with anticoagulation should be initiated. The high mortality rate of CVT in COVID-19 infection warrants a high index of suspicion from physicians, and early treatment with anticoagulation should be initiated. As the population ages, a growing burden of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) has sparked extensive concerns recently. Homocysteine (Hcy), as a traditional risk factor for atherosclerosis, may also participate in the development of cSVD. By comprehensively assessing Hcy's correlation with different MRI markers of cSVD and cognitive outcomes in a homogeneous population with cSVD, this study aims to explore the value of Hcy in the clinical management of cSVD. 231 inpatients with MRI-confirmed cSVD were enrolled in this retrospective study (mean age 66.4±10.0 years, male sex 47.6%). Along with brain MRI and plasma total Hcy (tHcy) examination, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) were also performed to assess their global cognitive function. Burdens of cSVD neuroimaging features encompassing white matter hyperintensity (WMH), lacunes of presumed vascular origin, cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), and enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) were evaluated based on brain MRI de disease management. Early studies suggest that acute cerebrovascular events may be common in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and may be associated with a high mortality rate. Most cerebrovascular events described have been ischemic strokes, but both intracerebral hemorrhage and rarely cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) have also been reported. The diagnosis of CVST can be elusive, with wide-ranging and nonspecific presenting symptoms that can include headache or altered sensorium alone. To describe the presentation, barriers to diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of CVST in patients with COVID-19. We abstracted data on all patients diagnosed with CVST and COVID-19 from March 1 to August 9, 2020 at Boston Medical Center. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Temsirolimus.html Subsequently, we reviewed the literature and extracted all published cases of CVST in patients with COVID-19 from January 1, 2020 through August 9, 2020 and included all studies with case descriptions. We describe the clinical features and management of CVST in 3 women with COVID-19 wor CVST in patients with a recent history of COVID-19 presenting with non-specific neurological symptoms such as headache to provide expedient management and prevent complications. The limited data suggests that CVST in COVID-19 is more prevalent in females and may be associated with high mortality. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the performance of first-line contact aspiration (ASP) and stent retriever (SR) in acute ischemic stroke caused by proximal large vessel occlusion. Cochrane databases, MEDLINE and EMBASE were systematically searched for literatures reporting outcomes on thrombectomy with both first-line aspiration and first-line stent retriever in proximal occlusion. Thirteen studies with a total of 1614 patients were included. No differences were identified between the SR and ASP groups in terms of final reperfusion rate (modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction 2b/3) (OR 1.54, 95% CI 0.88-2.70), complete recanalization rate (modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction 3) (OR 1.78, 95% CI 0.58-5.44), and favorable outcomes (modified Rankin scale ≤2) (OR 1.02, 95% CI 0.79-1.32). With regard to adverse events, emboli to new territories (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.31-2.14), intracranial hemorrhage (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.40-1.28), 90-days mortality (OR 1.02, 95% CI 0.
