Introduction
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2). Recently, various complications have been reported. The aim of the current study is to report a rare case of transverse myelitis after recovering from COVID-19.
Case report
A 34-year-old lady, presented with inability to walk for one day duration due to the lower limb weakness. After two weeks from the recovery of COVID-19; she developed progressive intermittent leg pain, paresthesia and weakness on both sides. Brain and cervical MRI showed evidence of a short segment inflammatory enhancing lesion at upper cervical region (at C1 level). The patient was treated conservatively.
Discussion
Transverse myelitis has many different causes, it occurs as an autoimmune phenomenon post-infection and vaccination, or it may result from direct infection or acquired demyelinating disease like multiple sclerosis.
Conclusion
Although it is a sporadic finding, SARS-CoV-2 can cause transverse myelitis. The condition responds to medical therapy.
Introduction During the previous year, a variety of serious neurological problems associated with the COVID-19 vaccination have been documented, including encephalopathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, transverse myelitis, and Bell’s palsy. Objective In the current study, neurological complications reported post-COVID-19 vaccination were systematically reviewed. The current meta-analysis aims to provide clinicians with a comprehensive understanding of this uncommon adverse event. Method Web of Science, MEDLINE on OVID, PubMed, and Google Scholar were searched for English-language papers published after January 1, 2020. Result Thirty articles were included in this study (21 case series and 9 cohort studies). The studies comprised 22,780 patients who got COVID-19 vaccinations and had at least 1 neurological adverse event. Across the majority of event types, females (54%) reported more adverse events than males (40%). The median duration from vaccination to the development of neurological symptoms was 12 days (0-41 days) in case series studies and 10 days (0-30 days) in cohort studies. Stroke is by far the most common neurological side effect of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, followed by Bell’s palsy and seizures. Conclusion Concerns regarding the safety of COVID-19 vaccinations are being backed up by a growing number of studies that demonstrate neurological side effects.
This study was conducted on 16,000 laying hens distributed into four groups, the Qarna group and three other groups in which it was decided to replace part of the soybeans with green beans, chickpeas and rice slurry.The effect of these substances on the following characteristics has been studied:Number of eggs, egg production %, average egg weight, average daily feed consumption per chicken, average feed consumed per egg, average body weight and mortality percentage from week 23 to week 32 of the mother. The results showed that there were no significant differences at the level of probability 5% and 1% among the four treatments in relation to the number of eggs, egg production %, while the differences were significant at the level of probability 1% in relation to the amount of feed in the treatment in which chickpeas were used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
