Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome following carotid artery revascularization: About three case reports and review of literature.

Complication after carotid artery revascularization is mainly represented by stroke. Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome triggering by carotid artery revascularization is exceptional but it is an unrecognized aetiology of stroke. It could be associated with brain edema and henceforth, a posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome can be confused with post-carotid artery revascularization cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome.

A rare case of drug sensitive adult-onset temporal lobe epilepsy due to a focal cortical dysplasia revealed by ictal coughing: First report in sub-Saharan Africa.

This case suggests that clinicians should consider seizures as a differential diagnosis of paroxystic cough with loss of consciousness. Focal cortical dysplasia should equally be screened for with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans even in adults with epilepsy in sub-Saharan Africa.

Sleep Apnea Syndrome: Prevalence and Comorbidity with Other Non-communicable Diseases and HIV Infection, among Hospitalized Patients in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

Background: Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS), a growing public health threat, is an emerging condition in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Related SSA studies have so far used an incomplete definition. This study is aimed at assessing SAS using an American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) complete definition and at exploring its relationship with comorbidities, among patients hospitalized in a Cameroonian tertiary hospital.

improves cognitive and motor function of a rat model of acute radiation syndrome in the elevated plus maze.

We reported recently that the elevated plus maze is a good tool for evaluating cognitive and motor functional changes in gamma-irradiated rats as a model for new drug evaluation and monitoring. The capacity of to mitigate radiation-induced brain injury is currently unknown. We therefore assessed the effects of the neuroprotective medicinal plant , on the cognitive and motor changes in this murine model of acute radiation syndrome.
