“…All routine blood tests were normal. [18] It is worth noting that in the early stage of adverse reactions on COVID-19 vaccination, patients' MRIs were normal. Cerebral fissures, cerebral cisterns and sulci were normal in appearance, without mid-line structure deviation and evidence of intracranial hemorrhage.…”

“…Variable neurological complications, despite the unproven causality, have also been reported in patients after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, such as functional neurological disorder (symptoms of functional neurological disorder include muscle weakness, fatigue, cognitive impairment, dizziness, and impaired gait), facial palsy, Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), seizures, strokes, transverse myelitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune encephalitis (AE), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), and acute encephalopathy. This mechanism of the neurological adverse effects is still unknown, but this is a phenomenon that requires further attention [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. This is a new issue related to the COVID-19 pandemic and, in this paper, we explore autoimmune enthesopathy on COVID-19 vaccination.…”

A Rare Adverse Effect of the COVID-19 Vaccine on Autoimmune Encephalitis

Since countries commenced COVID-19 vaccination around the world, many vaccine-related adverse effects have been reported. Among them, short-term memory loss with autoimmune encephalitis (AE) was reported as a rare adverse effect. Since case numbers are limited, this brief report may draw the attention of the medical community to this uncommon adverse effect and serve as a reference for future vaccine improvement. However, given the high risk of adverse outcomes when infected with SARS-CoV-2 and the clearly favorable safety/tolerability profile of existing vaccines, vaccination is still recommended.

“…In addition, in other domains of perception such as if the vaccines could trigger autoimmune disorders in individuals with a positive family history, a higher percentage answered “Yes” (86 (57.3%)), and 64 (42.7%) responded “No". In January 2022, a study was published with results indicating the new onset of autoimmune manifestations such as autoimmune liver diseases, Guillen barre syndrome, and IgA nephropathy associated with covid 19 vaccine [ 15 ]. The findings of our study agreed with previous findings regarding the perception of autoimmune disorders related to Covid 19 vaccines.…”

A comprehensive survey on the beliefs, perceptions, and clinical manifestations of pre and post Covid-19 vaccinations among physiotherapy students in the United Arab Emirates

The World Health Organization has defined Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) as an infectious pandemic, caused by a newly discovered SARS-CoV-2 virus. Students relied heavily on the internet, social media, parents, and friends, in addition to medical advice for information on its presentation, complications, prevention, and management. It is evident from the literature that healthcare professionals including students who play an important role in the healthcare system may be lacking important information on COVID-19 vaccinations. Thus, the study aims to identify and compare the pre-post covid-19 vaccination-related essential information among Physical Therapy university students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among physiotherapy university students in the United Arab Emirates using a self-administrated structured questionnaire. The questionnaire comprised three sections covering beliefs, perceptions, and clinical manifestations of the pre- and post-COVID- 19 vaccination. The survey was shared with more than 300 students through email and social platforms during the time between January 2022 till December 2022. Most of the physiotherapy students believed the vaccines to be safe (71.3%) due to multiple reasons while others did not believe in the effectiveness of the vaccine (28.7%). Some students did report unusual symptoms (painful periods, hair loss, forgetfulness) after the vaccine (10%). Similar findings were reported for family members as well (14%). Students had a positive perception of the vaccine and reported willingness to take it even if not mandatory (68%). Some students did believe in the safety of the vaccine due to multiple reasons while some did not due to fear of long-term side effects and personal choices. The finding of the study could be useful to create confidence as well as awareness among physiotherapy students as they are often invited to aid during medical pandemics such as Covid 19. Also, higher rates of vaccination among healthcare professionals will impart higher acceptance in the medical organization due to safety guidelines. This could also help to counsel other students against fear and apprehension towards the vaccination of such kind in the future.

“…In the sAVMs at the CM or the filum terminale, the afferents are usually small, multiple, and difficult to catheterize. There are also communications between the ASA and PSA; in those cases, surgical management is recommended over embolization [ 22 , 39 , 40 , 49 , 50 , 51 ].…”

Spinal arteriovenous shunts (sAVSs) are an uncommon disease, constituting 3 to 4% of intradural lesions; 70% of these lesions are spinal arteriovenous fistulas (sAVFs), whereas spinal arteriovenous malformations (sAVMs) are rarer. Both share the problem of their classification due to the heterogeneity of their angioarchitecture. The aim of this study is to report a series of sAVSs treated in the neurosurgery department of the Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara during the 2018–2020 period and to present an overview of the current literature on sAVS classification. We reviewed all medical records of patients diagnosed with sAVFs and sAVMs during the 2018–2020 period, and then we analyzed images with Horos v4.0.0, illustrated some cases with Clip Studio Paint v1.10.5, and performed a descriptive statistical analysis with SPSS v25. Twelve patients were included in this study, eight of which were women (67%) and four of which were men (33%); the age range was from 3 to 74 years. Eight sAVSs were sAVFs, whereas four were sAVMs. The most frequent clinical manifestation was chronic myelopathy in seven patients (58%). Of those treated only by embolization, seven (70%) resulted in complete occlusion (five sAVFs and two sAVMs), while three (30%) remained with a residual lesion. At last follow-up, five patients (42%) improved clinically, and the seven remaining (58%) maintained the same neurological state. sAVSs require a detailed study of their angioarchitecture for proper management. The endovascular treatment is safe with acceptable cure rates. The surgical option should not be set aside.
