Neuroimaging is a key step in the clinical evaluation of brain injury. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems operate at high-strength fields (1.5-3 T) that require strict, access-controlled environments. Limited access to timely neuroimaging remains structural barrier effectively monitor occurrence and progression neurological injury intensive care settings. Recent advances low-field MRI technology have allowed for acquisition clinically meaningful outside radiology suites...

Abstract Background Bordetella bronchiseptica is a gram-negative, obligate aerobic coccobacillus known to cause disease in domesticated animals and pets. In humans, B. commonly leads respiratory infections like pneumonia or bronchitis, animal contact usually precedes the onset of symptoms. Case presentation We report case post-traumatic meningitis without recent surgery setting immunosuppression with monoclonal antibody. Our concerns 77-year-old male ulcerative colitis on infliximab who...

Abstract Background Rheumatological disorders may predispose patients to hypercoagulability and/or vasculopathy increasing stroke risk. Adult-Onset Still’s Disease (AOSD) is not usually associated with either, only two reported cases in the literature have had strokes. We present a case of AOSD acute manifesting as lateral medullary syndrome. hypothesize that and thrombocytosis contributed occurrence. further explore possible underlying pathomechanism this patient population. Case...

Abstract Background Gastrointestinal bleed (GIB) has high incidence in traumatic spinal cord injured (tSCI) patients and can frequently be life-threatening, especially early post-injury. Several risk factors often compound bleeding risk, some are unique to this patient population. Normally, clinical suspicion for GIB arises from symptoms like coffee-ground emesis, hematemesis, melena or even hematochezia. A hemoglobin drop may a late sign. Due tSCI, however, experience neurogenic bowels...

Abstract Background Iron plays an important role in the development of perihematomal edema (PHE) setting intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Cerebral iron is increased via direct hemoglobin release ICH, and several studies have investigated use iron-chelating agents to mitigate its toxicity. However, effect systemic administration, corroborating reverse concept, has never been or reported clinically. We report first case administration hemorrhagic traumatic brain injury (TBI). Case presentation...

Objective: To report a rare case of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) causing large intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH) in the setting luradisone. Background: RCVS is characterized by thunderclap headache and diffuse segmental arteries evident on imaging vasculature. Only 50[percnt] cases occur after exposure to recognized triggers, among those are sympathomimetics, serotonergic substances etc. Lurasidone new antipsychotic medication has potential D2 5HT2A receptor...

OBJECTIVE: To report a unique case of bilateral carotid thrombi following Cisplatin-based chemotherapy. BACKGROUND: chemotherapy has been implicated in venous and arterial thromboembolic events. These events typically occur with the second or third cycles Arterial involving aortic arch secondary to have reported very rarely. Occurrence artery after not, our knowledge, described. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 54 year-old man recent diagnosis testicular cancer on Cisplatin Etoposide presented severe...

Background and Aims: Advances in low-field MRI have enabled image acquisition at the point-of-care (POC). We aim to characterize ischemic lesions low-field, POC assess its relationship with stroke severity patients. Methods: performed exams on T2-weighted (T2W), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) were acquired a 64mT, portable bedside system. Three raters computed signal intensity ratios (SIR) for each sequence. For every slice showing an infarct,...

<h3>Objective:</h3> NA <h3>Background:</h3> Cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) following aneurysmal SAH leads to significant morbidity mortality. Intrathecal (IT) nicardipine has been shown improve outcome reduce DCI. We sought study our limited experience with this treatment modality, in order potentially inform practice treating vasospasm. <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> Retrospective case series of all patients who received IT for the from 2016 2021 at University Hospital....
