Scientists have discovered relation between COVID-19 and intracerebral hemorrhages

BSMU scientists in cooperation with colleagues from Mexico and the United States, conducted research and discovered relation between COVID-19 infection and intracerebral hemorrhage.

The group of scientists consisted of Valentin N. Pavlov, rector of Bashkir State Medical University, Ozal Beylerli and Ilgiz Garayev, researchers of the Central Research Institute of BSMU, Luis Fernando Torres Solis, Professor of Autonomous University of Aguascalientes (Mexico), Arturo Solis Herrera, Professor of the Human Photosynthesis research center (Mexico), and Gyumrakh Aliyev, President of the Galli International Research Institute (USA).

Researchers studied 1,200 patients admitted to the COVID-19 hospital of the BSMU Clinic at the period from May 1 till August 4, 2020.

Scientists have found that COVID-19 is associated with multiple neurological symptoms and complications, including intracerebral hemorrhage (IUD). IUD is one of the most common and severe neurological disorders in COVID-19, and is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity. It is especially common in elderly patients, as well as in patients with hypertension and diabetes.

This study identified specific mechanisms by which COVID-19 can contribute to the development of hemorrhagic stroke. In addition, scientists have suggested possible pathophysiological mechanisms of COVID-19 infection in patients with IUD.

The research is published in the New York University journal Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience.
