The majority presented with hemiparesis, dysarthria, sensory deficits, and a NIHSS score within 5-15. In addition, beyond the first 30 days of infection people with COVID-19 exhibited increased risk of stroke. During acute phase, age, hypertension, diabetes, and medical history of vascular disease were increased in patients with COVID-19 with new onset of cerebrovascular manifestations, while during long-COVID-19, the risk of cerebrovascular manifestations were found increased regardless of these factors. The management of patients with large-vessel ischemic stroke fulfilling the intravenous thrombolysis criteria are successfully treated according to the guidelines, while hyperosmolar therapy is typically administered in 4- to 6-h intervals. In addition, prophylaxis of anticoagulation therapy is associated with a better prognosis and low mortality during acute and post hospital discharge of patients with COVID-19.</p><p><strong>Summary: </strong>In this work, we provide a comprehensive review of the current literature on acute and post-acute COVID-19 cerebrovascular sequelae, symptomatology, and its pathophysiology mechanisms.

Mass Spectrometry (MS) is increasingly being applied to biomarker discovery and quantification in neurological disease to explore the proteome, allowing for more flexibility in biomarker discovery than commonly encountered antibody-based assays. In this narrative review, we will provide specific examples of how MS technology has advanced translational research in traumatic brain injury (TBI) focusing on clinical studies, and looking ahead to promising emerging applications of MS to the field of Neurocritical Care.</p><p><strong>Recent findings: </strong>Proteomic biomarker discovery using MS technology in human subjects has included the full range of injury severity in TBI, though critically ill patients can offer more options to biofluids given the need for invasive monitoring. Blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, brain specimens, and cerebral extracellular fluid have all been sources for analysis. Emerging evidence suggests there are distinct proteomic profiles in radiographic TBI subtypes, and that biomarkers may be used to distinguish patients sustaining TBI from healthy controls.

Data emerging from these programs is revising our knowledge of incidence of Pompe disease. In 2021, two randomized controlled trials involving new forms of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) were completed and one new product is already FDA-approved and on the market, whereas the other product will come up for FDA review in the fall. Neither of the new ERT were shown to be superior to the standard of care product, <i>alglucosidase</i>. The long-term effectiveness of these newer forms of ERT is unclear. Newer versions of the ERT are in development in addition to multiple different strategies of gene therapy to deliver GAA, the gene responsible for producing acid alpha-glucosidase, the defective protein in Pompe Disease. Glycogen substrate reduction is also in development in Pompe disease and other glycogen storage disorders.</p><p><strong>Summary: </strong>There are significant unmet needs as it relates to clinical care and therapeutics in Pompe disease as well as in research.
