Article Synopsis
- Generalized epileptic seizures typically lead to a postictal phase with symptoms like drowsiness and confusion; however, in rare cases, skin rashes can also occur.
- A 45-year-old male developed a pinpoint rash with non-blanchable petechiae after a seizure, which was resolved after a week of seizure management.
- This case highlights the importance of recognizing skin manifestations post-seizure to aid in diagnosis and reduce unnecessary medical tests, suggesting they may result from changes in blood flow and inflammation during seizures.
Background And Objectives: Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) are prone to symptomatic neurologic complications. Previous studies reported accrual of neural injury starting at early age, even without having symptomatic neurologic events. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors of abnormal neurologic findings in patients with SCD with no history of major symptomatic neurologic events.

This study aims to assess the prevalence of SCR in SCD, identify risk factors for its development and progression to proliferative sickle cell retinopathy (PSCR), and evaluate the potential implications of these results on clinical practice.
Methods: This research is a secondary analysis of patients diagnosed with SCD from the epidemiological, multicenter Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease (CSSCD).
Although evidence suggests that neurological complications, including seizures and epilepsy, are more common among sickle cell disease (SCD) patients, few studies have assessed the risk factors of developing seizures among SCD patients METHODS: We used a nested case-control study design to compare pediatric and adult SCD patients who experienced seizures with patients who did not experience any seizure regarding clinical and laboratory parameters. We conducted a secondary analysis using the data from the Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease in this study RESULTS: There were 153 out of 2804 (5.5%) pediatric patients who had seizures with a median age of 8.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study including fifth- and sixth-year medical students and post-graduate internship doctors at five universities in Jordan. An online survey was used to collect data from participants, which included their general characteristics, their personality profile using the Big Five Inventory-2, and questions about their most preferred specialty choice.
