In this review, we focus on summarizing everything that is known about the neurological effects of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2). It has been shown that Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) may result in neuromuscular disorders or damage to nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, which may lead to weakness, numbness, and pain. Published literature has stated that SARS-COV-1 may infect the central nervous system and due to its similarities to SARS-COV-2, we suspect that SARS-COV-2 has the same potential. We conclude that Covid-19 has neurological manifestations. Further research should be done in this field to understand the full extent of this virus.

Pregnancy should be suspected whenever a woman in her childbearing years misses a menstrual period. Clinical suspicion is increased if she also reports any sexual activity while not using contraception or is inconsistent in her use of contraception. Laboratory findings that aid in the diagnosis of pregnancy include the detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in blood or urine. Hydatidiform mole (HM) is part of a group of diseases classified under gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD), which originate in the placenta and have the potential to locally invade the uterus and metastasize. Although molar pregnancies are designated as benign, they have the potential to develop into a malignancy. In this case study, we present a 48-year-old peri-menopausal female patient, with a 1+ year history of irregular menses, who presented to the clinic with signs and symptoms of pregnancy, unprotected sexual activity, and a positive at-home pregnancy test. Upon further workup of the patient, it was diagnosed that the patient had a hydatidiform molar pregnancy. It is interesting to note that benign gestational trophoblastic diseases generally occur in younger women, of “reproductive age” (generally in their twenties to early thirties), and is extremely rare in peri- and post-menopausal women.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has been around for many years. Symptoms of the virus includes: cough, runny nose, loss of appetite, and a possible ear infection. Often times, the patient presents with bronchiolitis, which eventually escalates to RSV. Children most commonly affected by RSV are between the ages of 0-2. In December 2019, the first case of SARS-CoV-2 was discovered in China. Normally, the RSV virus sparks around the winter months; however, throughout the COVID -19 pandemic, RSV was at its all-time low. When SARS-CoV-2 started to decline in early April 2021, there was a spike in the respiratory syncytial virus among children.

Lactational mastitis is a common condition in breastfeeding women that manifests as painful, swollen, and erythematous breasts. Customary treatment guidelines include antibiotics, cold compression, and continued breastfeeding. This report highlights a unique case in which the symptomatic progression of lactational mastitis was alleviated with the utilization of red cabbage and warm compresses. The study further investigates the potential benefits and role of red cabbage in treating mastitis infections to prevent unnecessary overuse of antibiotics and promote antibiotic stewardship practices.

New literature shows that COVID-19 has negative effects on patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). COVID-19 is known to produce neurological manifestations and infects the central nervous system. Similarly, the virus also causes neuromuscular complications and involves the peripheral nervous system. Studies show PD patients with a severe COVID-19 infection have a higher mortality rate, worsening in symptoms, and require an increase in drug dosage. These studies suggest that COVID-19 may lead to a more rapid onset of PD, or may increase the risk of developing PD. Furthermore, researchers observed that Motor and nonmotor symptoms significantly worsened in PD patients with COVID compared to PD patients.
