COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) is a transmissible disease initiated and propagated through a new virus strain SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2) since 31st December 2019 in Wuhan city of China and the infection has outspread globally influencing millions of people. Here, an attempt was made to recognize natural phytochemicals from medicinal plants, in order to reutilize them against COVID-19 by the virtue of molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation study. Molecular docking study showed six probable inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 Mpro (Main protease), two from Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) (Withanoside V [10.32 kcal/mol] and Somniferine [9.62 kcal/mol]), one from Tinospora cordifolia (Giloy) (Tinocordiside [8.10 kcal/mol]) and three from Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi) (Vicenin [8.97 kcal/mol], Isorientin 4'-O-glucoside 2″-O-p-hydroxybenzoagte [8.55 kcal/mol] and Ursolic acid [8.52 kcal/mol]). ADMET profile prediction showed that the best docked phytochemicals from prese study were predicted to be safe, drug-like compounds with no toxicity. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma. Though flow diverter is a safe and efficient modality, some patients can experience delayed aneurysmal rupture. The mechanism of delayed rupture is still obscure to us. We performed a systematic search in the PubMed database for patients with delayed rupture of intracranial aneurysms after flow diverter placement. A total of 36 articles reporting on 60 patients were included in the final analysis. Of the 49 patients with description of presenting symptoms, six (12.2%) patients were incidentally diagnosed, 39 (87.8%) patients were admitted for aneurysmal rupture or mass effect. Multiple flow diverters were used in 38.3% (18/47) of the patients. Coil assistance was applied in 13.0% (7/54) of the patients. Delayed aneurysmal rupture led to intracranial hemorrhage or carotid-cavernous sinus fistula (CCF) in 76.8% (43/56) and 23.2% (13/56) of the patients, respectively. Of the 55 patients with description of outcome, 14 (25.5%) patients achieved good recovery, one (1.8%) patient was severely disabled, 40 (72stablished preventive measure to decrease the incidence of delayed rupture yet. The treatment and outcome depend on the presentation of delayed rupture. Patients presenting with aneurysm-related intracranial hemorrhage have a dismal outcome. Those presenting with CCFs usually have a satisfactory recovery. The aim of this study was to look for deviations of cerebral perfusion in patients suffering from pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration, where the globus pallidus is affected by severe accumulation of iron. Under resting conditions, cerebral blood flow was measured by the magnetic resonance imaging technique of arterial spin labelling in cortical areas and basal ganglia in eight pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration patients and 14 healthy age-matched control subjects and correlated to T2* time of these areas and - in patients - to clinical parameters. Despite highly significant differences of T2* time of the globus pallidus (20 vs 39 ms, < 0.001), perfusion values of this nucleus were nearly identical in both groups (32 ± 3.3 vs 31 ± 4.0 ml/min/100 g) as well as in total brain gray matter (both 62 ± 6.7 resp. selleck chemicals llc ±10.3 ml/min/100 g), putamen (41 ± 5.4 vs 40 ± 6.1 ml/min/100 g), in selected cortical regions, and the cerebellum. Correlations between perfusion and T2* time to clinical data did not reach significance ( > 0.05). The absence of any obvious deviations of perfusion in the group of patients during a resting condition does not support the view that (non-functional) vascular pathology is a major pathogenic factor in pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration in the younger age group. The findings underline the value of the arterial spin technique to measure cerebral bloo
