    As pesquisas realizadas na área de Comunicação e Democracia têm enfatizado a importância da Internet para o jogo político-eleitoral. Porém, poucas investigações têm se dedicado a estudar a influência da Internet em campanhas que priorizam apenas uma faixa específica do eleitorado, como aquelas empreendidas por candidatos a vereador. Tendo tal escassez em vista, o objetivo do artigo é compreender – destacando a dimensão quantitativa do fenômeno – de que maneira os parlamentares de Fortaleza utilizaram o Twitter no período compreendido entre Julho e Novembro de 2012. O corpus é composto pelas contas no microblog dos 25 vereadores da capital cearense que tentaram reeleição. Constatou-se uma correlação direta entre a quantidade de tweets publicados e a quantidade de seguidores que determinados usuários atraem. Todavia, aponta-se que boa parte dos agentes do campo político aqui analisados continua desinteressada em empregar o Twitter como parte de sua estratégia de comunicação política

    JORNALISMO POLÍTICO E IMAGEM PÚBLICA Dilma Rousseff nos editoriais do jornal O Estado de S. Paulo / Political Journalism and Public Image: Dilma Rousseff and the O Estado de S. Paulo's Editorials

    Sabe-se que a imagem pública dos representantes construída pelo Jornalismo constitui um dos fatores que influenciam a calibragem das preferências políticas dos cidadãos. Assim, pretende-se investigar, por meio do estudo dos editoriais publicados n'O Estado de S. Paulo, os enquadramentos do jornal que se ligam à construção da imagem da presidente Dilma Rousseff e do Governo que ela gerencia. São considerados os textos publicados em diferentes meses e semanas de 2012, totalizando 24 peças. Três principais eixos temáticos foram diagnosticados: Economia; Política; e Questões Sociais. Percebe-se que, embora o Jornalismo não seja o único fator a concorrer para a configuração da imagem pública dos agentes políticos, a importância de obter visibilidade positiva não pode ser desprezada, especialmente em produtos que dispõem de credibilidade junto à audiência

    ABSTRACT These guidelines are the result of a joint effort from writing groups of the Brazilian Stroke Society, the Scientific Department of Cerebrovascular Diseases of the Brazilian Academy of Neurology, the Brazilian Stroke Network and the Brazilian Society of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Neuroradiology. Members from these groups participated in web-based discussion forums with predefined themes, followed by videoconference meetings in which controversies and position statements were discussed, leading to a consensus. This guidelines focuses on the implications of the recent clinical trials on endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke due to proximal arterial occlusions, and the final text aims to guide health care providers, health care managers and public health authorities in managing patients with this condition in Brazil

    BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic led to profound changes in the organization of health care systems worldwide. AIMS We sought to measure the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the volumes for mechanical thrombectomy (MT), stroke, and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) hospitalizations over a 3-month period at the height of the pandemic (March 1 to May 31, 2020) compared with two control 3-month periods (immediately preceding and one year prior). METHODS Retrospective, observational, international study, across 6 continents, 40 countries, and 187 comprehensive stroke centers. The diagnoses were identified by their ICD-10 codes and/or classifications in stroke databases at participating centers. RESULTS The hospitalization volumes for any stroke, ICH, and MT were 26,699, 4,002, and 5,191 in the 3 months immediately before versus 21,576, 3,540, and 4,533 during the first 3 pandemic months, representing declines of 19.2% (95%CI,-19.7 to -18.7), 11.5% (95%CI,-12.6 to -10.6), and 12.7% (95%CI,-13.6 to -11.8), respectively. The decreases were noted across centers with high, mid, and low COVID-19 hospitalization burden, and also across high, mid, and low volume stroke/MT centers. High-volume COVID-19 centers (-20.5%) had greater declines in MT volumes than mid- (-10.1%) and low-volume (-8.7%) centers (p<0.0001). There was a 1.5% stroke rate across 54,366 COVID-19 hospitalizations. SARS-CoV-2 infection was noted in 3.9% (784/20,250) of all stroke admissions. CONCLUSION The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with a global decline in the volume of overall stroke hospitalizations, MT procedures, and ICH admission volumes. Despite geographic variations, these volume reductions were observed regardless of COVID-19 hospitalization burden and pre-pandemic stroke/MT volumes

AIMS: We sought to measure the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the volumes for mechanical thrombectomy, stroke, and intracranial hemorrhage hospitalizations over a three-month period at the height of the pandemic (1 March-31 May 2020) compared with two control three-month periods (immediately preceding and one year prior).

The decreases were noted across centers with high, mid, and low COVID-19 hospitalization burden, and also across high, mid, and low volume stroke/mechanical thrombectomy centers. High-volume COVID-19 centers (-20.5%) had greater declines in mechanical thrombectomy volumes than mid- (-10.1%) and low-volume (-8.7%) centers (p \u3c 0.0001). There was a 1.5% stroke rate across 54,366 COVID-19 hospitalizations. SARS-CoV-2 infection was noted in 3.9% (784/20,250) of all stroke admissions. CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with a global decline in the volume of overall stroke hospitalizations, mechanical thrombectomy procedures, and intracranial hemorrhage admission volumes.
