The Department of Veterans Health Affairs (VHA) has launched 22 multispecialty post–COVID-19 clinics across the US for growing number veterans experiencing long-term sequelae after acute COVID-19 infection. While evidence-based treatments this syndrome are under investigation, there is a critical need to establish and disseminate clinical pathways (CPWs) based on knowledge experience gained in those clinics. This VHA CPW intended guide primary care clinicians who patients dyspnea and/or...

While hemorrhage is commonly encountered in various intracranial tumors, it relatively rare benign meningiomas. We present an interesting case report of a 75-year-old male who fell during intoxication, sustaining right frontal cranial trauma, coincidentally directly overlying previously undiagnosed meningioma. He experienced acute neurological decline and was found to have hematoma, causing significant mass effect herniation. Based on the radiographic appearance, underlying neoplasm with...

Background/Purpose: Aneurysm size and morphology have been previously correlated with risk of spontaneous rupture. However, there is a lack consensus regarding which morphological parameters are useful for this prediction. The purpose study to assess the ruptured aneurysms in our retrospective cohort compare these findings cited within literature. Materials Methods: Between 2021‐2023, 150 patients subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary were admitted hospital. Two investigators reviewed...
