Risk factors for intracerebral hemorrhage in patients with COVID-19

Kara R. Melmed et al.

Summary: This study assessed risk factors associated with intracerebral hemorrhage in COVID-19 patients, finding that anticoagulation use was linked to an increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage and was associated with higher mortality. Further investigation is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms and develop prevention strategies in this population.

Risk of dispersion or aerosol generation and infection transmission with nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs for detection of COVID-19: a systematic review

Arnav Agarwal et al.

Summary: Limited data is available regarding the aerosol generation and transmission risk associated with nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs for detecting SARS-CoV-2. One study demonstrated a 0% infection rate among healthcare workers when strict protocols were followed. Field experiments are needed to further quantify this risk, and adherence to current infection control standards is recommended.

Case Report: SARS-CoV-2 Infection in a Child With Suprasellar Tumor and Hypothalamic-Pituitary Failure

Rossella Gaudino et al.

Summary: The case report of a 9-year-old child with SARS-CoV-2 infection and various endocrinological issues but remained asymptomatic suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is generally mild. While literature on the impact of such infections in patients with intracranial malignant neoplasms is scarce, it is advised for patients to keep scheduled appointments.

A Rare Case of SARS-CoV-2 Infection Associated With Pituitary Apoplexy Without Comorbidities

Ritwik Ghosh et al.

Summary: Pituitary apoplexy is a medical emergency caused by hemorrhage or infarction of the hypophysis, typically leading to severe headache, visual disturbances, cranial nerve impairments, and hormonal deficiencies. In this case, a previously healthy woman with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection developed pituitary apoplexy, sparking discussion on the potential pathophysiological mechanisms of this condition in coronavirus disease 2019.
