Given the high post-stroke mortality and disability paucity of data on quality stroke care in Sub-Saharan Africa, we sought to characterize implementation stroke-focused treatments 90-day outcomes neuroimaging-confirmed patients at largest referral hospital Tanzania.Prospective cohort study.Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) Dar es Salaam, July 2016-March 2017.Adults with new-onset (<14 days), confirmed by head CT, admitted MNH.Modified Rankin scale (mRS) vital status.Of 149 subjects (mean...
Background Evidence suggests that social networks improve functional recovery after stroke, but this work has not been extended to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Post-stroke depression interferes with outcome is understudied in LMICs. Aims To determine the relationships between networks, disability, depressive symptoms patients surviving 90-days post-stroke Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Methods Participants ≥ 18 years, admitted ≤ 14 days of stroke onset, were enrolled. Disability was...
Background: Stroke is a second leading cause of death globally, with an estimated one in four adults suffering stroke their lifetime.

Methods: analyzed de-identified data from prospective registry Bugando Medical Centre Mwanza, largest city Tanzania, between March 2020 October 2022. This included all ⩾18 years admitted our hospital who met World Health Organization definition stroke....
Diabetic striatopathy, or nonketotic hyperglycemic hemichorea-hemiballismus syndrome, is a rare movement disorder linked to poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. It predominantly affects older women with type 2 mellitus and presents characteristic basal ganglia abnormalities on computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Even rarer the presentation in young patient, which may pose diagnostic management challenges. We report 17-year-old male 1 presenting left-sided of acute...

<h3></h3> Neurological disorders are currently among the top causes of disability adjusted life-years (DALYs) and deaths globally. A vast increase in disease burden is projected, particularly low- lower middle-income countries (LLMIC). Paradoxically, LLMIC settings, neurological often neglected, underdiagnosed, receive insufficient funding, limited research. To combat growing disease, increasing focus must be placed on management disorders. Cost-effectiveness analyses epilepsy (acute-...
