Mild Encephalopathy With Reversible Splenial Lesion (MERS) in a Child With Influenza.

Mild encephalopathy with reversible splenial lesion (MERS) is a rare clinical-radiological syndrome with a favorable prognosis that typically presents with central nervous system symptoms such as altered mental status, delirious behavior, seizures, muscle weakness, ophthalmoplegia, and headache. The diagnosis of MERS is based on a constellation of central nervous system symptoms within one week of fever, a lesion in the splenium of the corpus callosum, and complete resolution without sequelae. Both clinical and imaging findings generally resolve within a few months.

Clinical outcomes and cumulative healthcare costs of TAVR vs. SAVR in Asia.

Objectives: This study compared transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in terms of short- and long-term effectiveness.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study based on nationwide National Health Insurance claims data and Cause of Death data focused on adult patients ( = 3,643) who received SAVR (79%) or TAVR (21%) between 2015 and 2019. Propensity score overlap weighting was applied to account for selection bias.
