Are MRI and CT comparable in detection of hemorrhage after endovascular therapy? Check out the results of our HECATE study, the first to compare these imaging modalities using the Heidelberg Bleeding Classification

I've never felt more productive, competent, and empathetic since becoming a mom -- we should all, parents and others, embrace these changes.

“Most of us would feel comfortable rating the swim goggles we got on Amazon, but it's hard for an individual patient to tell: did I get the right care, at the right time, in the right place?” says @benharder, chief health analyst at @USNews. https://t.co/D4D2XLNV6o

@bylenasun @mikelaris Lena, so sorry for the loss of your mom. The obit's a wonderful tribute to her. Turns out she and my parents had mutual friends and have visited each others' homes over the past few years. Small world. Deepest sympathies from our Hsia family to yours.

Good summary of various neurologic findings seen with some Covid patients. A couple key ones to be on the lookout for in the ED/hospital: encephalopathy with possible seizure; acute necrotizing encephalopathy. @NYTimes https://t.co/5x1kOYrMIZ

[Daniel Vela-Duarte, MD @DanielVelaMD]

5% of patients with #COVID19 might present with cerebrovascular disease. Theoretically, the virus binds ACE receptors, triggering oxidative stress, and inflammation. Hypercoagulability is also a potential mechanism.

[Daniel Vela-Duarte, MD @DanielVelaMD]

If the #COVID19 has the potential to reach the CNS and invade the brainstem, that might explain -in part- the severity of the respiratory failure despite all ventilatory support. I wonder if pathology should examine the brains of the deceased. #neurology
