Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with a variety of neurological manifestations (i.e., anosmia, ageusia, myalgia, headache) and neurological syndromes (i.e., encephalopathy, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, myelitis, encephalitis) underlying different pathogenetic mechanisms. COVID-19 has also been associated with various movement disorders including acute or subacute parkinsonism. However, to date, only few cases of parkinsonism linked to COVID-19 have been reported, nevertheless raising the possibility of a post-viral parkinsonian syndrome. Furthermore, various studies in vitro and in animal models have highlighted a close relationship between SARS-CoV-2 virus and α-synuclein, leading to the hypothesis that COVID-19 could represent a factor favoring the long-term development of α-synucleopathies. In this chapter, we will discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms related to movement disorders' manifestations of COVID-19 focusing on the possible overlap between pathogenetic mechanisms of Parkinson's Disease and COVID-19.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic forced the world to quarantine to slow the rate of transmission, causing communities to transition into virtual spaces. Asian American and Pacific Islander communities faced the additional challenge of discrimination that stemmed from racist and xenophobic rhetoric in the media. Limited data exist on technology use among Asian American and Pacific Islander adults during the height of the COVID-19 shelter-in-place period and its effect on their physical and mental health.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented global challenges. Amid the crisis, the potential impact of COVID-19 exposure on the neurodevelopment of offspring born to infected mothers emerged as a critical concern. This is a prospective cohort study of pregnant women and their offspring enrolled in the Signature project at Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocio in Seville, Spain, between 01/01/2024 and 08/31/2022.

Purpose: For cancer survivors, self-efficacy is needed to manage the disease and the effects of treatment. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted cancer-related healthcare, which may have impacted self-management self-efficacy. We investigated self-efficacy reported by cancer survivors during COVID-19, including associations with healthcare disruptions, distress, and general health.

Background: Extended delays in non-elective surgeries have been associated with suboptimal outcomes. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic forced healthcare systems to adapt their setups for unscheduled procedures, leading, in our institution, to a reorganization from a setup with two dedicated operating rooms (ORs) at a central facility without dedicated teams to a temporary one with both dedicated teams and ORs during lockdown phase. This study evaluates the impact of this transitions on the time to surgery considering unscheduled procedures.

Unrelated pathogens, including viruses and bacteria, use a common short linear motif (SLiM) to interact with cellular kinases of the RSK (p90 S6 ribosomal kinase) family. Such a "DDVF" (D/E-D/E-V-F) SLiM occurs in the leader (L) protein encoded by picornaviruses of the genus , including Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV), Boone cardiovirus (BCV), and Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV). The L-RSK complex is targeted to the nuclear pore, where RSK triggers FG-nucleoporins hyperphosphorylation, thereby causing nucleocytoplasmic trafficking disruption.
