Ischemic stroke is a serious neurological condition that requires urgent attention. As a time-dependent disease, acute stroke management must be coordinated and effective to provide the best treatment as early as possible. ⋯ To prevent early recurrences, control of vascular risk factors and antithrombotic treatment is recommended. The management of patients with acute ischemic stroke aims to reverse initial symptoms, to prevent further brain damage, improve functional outcomes and avoid ischemic recurrences.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
Impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with cardiac amyloidosis: Results of a multicentre registry.
Descriptions on impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) are lacking. Our aim was to describe the prognosis of those patients. ⋯ SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with high mortality and hospitalization rates in patients with CA, which exceed that expected by their sex and advanced age.

Case Reports
Vitamin D deficiency in adulthood: Presentation of 2familial cases simulating pseudohypoparathyroidism.
The clinical and biochemical overlap of various pathologies of phosphocalcic metabolism can lead to misdiagnosis and consequent clinical management. One example is pseudohypoparathyroidism, which can be confused with vitamin D-dependent rickets (VDDR1) if appropriate biochemical determinations are not performed. ⋯ Although VDDR1A is an infrequently diagnosed pathology in adulthood, in cases of hypocalcaemia with elevated PTH values, determination of the 1,25(OH)2D3 and 25(OH)D3 forms of vitamin D is relevant to reach a correct diagnosis.
