Safety and Efficacy of Newer Oral Anticoagulants Versus Vitamin K Antagonists in the Management of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: A Single-Center Ambispective Study from South India.

Introduction: Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT) poses a rare but life-threatening challenge, warranting meticulous treatment approaches. Traditional therapy involves Vitamin K Antagonists (VKAs), but Newer Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs) offer potential advantages. This study addresses a crucial knowledge gap in the Indian context, analyzing real-world data to guide CVT management decisions.

Effect of recanalization on clinical outcomes in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis - An ambispective study.

Purpose: Achieving complete recanalization has possible but unproven benefits in cerebral venous/sinus thrombosis (CVST). We reported a cohort of patients with CVST and assessed the factors associated with recanalization and its effect on outcomes.

Methods: We included 123 patients with CVST in this single-center, ambispective, observational study from October 2018 to November 2019.

Modified collision study to isolate and study small fibre neuropathy in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

Introduction: Diabetic distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSPN) can be categorized as small fibre, large fibre, and mixed neuropathy. Even though small fibre neuropathy is the most prevalent, unfortunately it is usually not recognized by routine electrophysiologic studies. In this study, we intend to examine the slow velocity small fibres responsible for small fibre DSPN, by isolating them using collision technique principle in patients with diabetes.

False positive immunoassay for acetyl choline receptor antibody (AChR Ab) in patients exposed to polyvalent antisnake venom.

Acute flaccid paralysis is a neuromuscular emergency characterized by rapidly worsening weakness that evolves quickly to cause diaphragmatic failure. The challenge for the treating physician is to stabilize the patient, generate the differential diagnosis and determine the management; all in quick time. Neurotoxic snake bites have inadequate signs of inflammation and are easily missed.

A lengthy primary intramedullary tuberculoma of the spinal cord extending from C4 to D8: A case report.

Spinal intramedullary tuberculoma is a rare cause of spinal cord compression. We report a case that had an intramedullary spinal cord tuberculomas where the diagnosis was made by MRI and biopsy. The clinical presentation was that of a cord compression in a 30-year-old male febrile patient.
