Longitudinal extensive transverse myelitis following ChAdOx1 nCOV-19 vaccine: a case report.

Background: Transverse myelitis (TM) is a relatively uncommon condition, and vaccine-associated myelitis is even rarer. Concern regarding neurological complications following vaccination escalated following the report of TM during the safety and efficacy trials of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Case Presentation: We report the first case of Longitudinal Extensive Transverse Myelitis (LETM) in Malaysia following administration of the chimpanzee adenovirus-vectored (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19) vaccine.

Ruptured Giant Left Distal Anterior Cerebral Artery Aneurysm in a Two-Month-Old Baby.

Background: The incidence of intracranial aneurysm in childhood is rare, especially in infancy. In the literature, most of childhood intracranial aneurysms occur in the posterior and middle cerebral circulation. We report a case of a ruptured giant left distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm in a 2-month-old baby.

Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms: diversity in treatment techniques of varying anatomical presentations.

We discuss and illustrate various endovascular treatment options for intracranial aneurysms, to reflect common technique used in endovascular treatment of brain aneurysm. We select five cases of various aneurysm types to show assortments of endovascular treatment (EVT) are performed. Selective catheterization of the intracranial aneurysms and endovascular treatments are technically feasible, offering a viable alternative to the surgical approach.

Subclinical atherosclerosis among rheumatoid arthritis patients without overt cardiovascular risk factors.

Objective: To determine the associated factors of subclinical atherosclerosis measured with carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) among rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients without any overt traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors.

Methods: Forty RA patients with matched age and gender healthy controls were recruited. Carotid ultrasound was performed to all subjects.
