Unmasking herpes encephalitis masquerading as acute psychosis via neuroimaging.

Psychosis is a complex mental health condition that can have a profound impact on individuals and their families. It is characterized by a loss of contact with reality, including delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thinking. While psychosis is most commonly associated with psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, it is crucial to consider other potential causes to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study on the Correlation of Adenosine Deaminase and HbA1c With Microvascular Complications in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Central India.

Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent chronic condition characterized by hyperglycemia, which can lead to various microvascular complications, including diabetic nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy. Identifying reliable biomarkers for early detection and risk stratification of these complications is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) and HbA1c have emerged as potential markers associated with immune function, inflammation, and long-term glycemic control.

Porencephaly and Psychosis: A Rare Case of Neurological and Psychiatric Intersection.

Porencephaly is an uncommon neurological condition characterized by cystic cavities or holes in the cerebral hemispheres of the brain filled with cerebrospinal fluid. There are two types of porencephaly: acquired porencephaly, also known as pseudo-porencephaly, and congenital porencephaly, also known as true porencephaly. Acquired porencephaly, also known as encephaloclastic porencephaly, typically results from late prenatal or perinatal vascular lesions caused by arterial ischemic stroke or venous thrombosis.

Aberrant Right Coronary Artery from the Left Coronary Sinus Presenting with Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction.

Coronaries arise normally from the aortic sinus which consists of one anterior and two posterior cusps of which the right coronary artery (RCA) arises from the anterior cusp and the left coronary artery arises from the left posterior cusp. Abnormal origin of coronary arteries is very rare and counts for about 2.33% of prevalence and below 1% incidence and are comparatively very difficult to diagnose through routine investigations.

Exploring Marchiafava-Bignami Disease: A Rare Presentation in a Young Pregnant Female.

Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD) is uncommon and typically linked with persistent alcohol consumption; nevertheless, instances have been reported in non-alcoholic individuals with nutritional deficiencies. Depending on the severity, this condition may manifest as acute, subacute, or chronic neurological signs and symptoms, ranging from moderate dysarthria or mild disorientation to coma and death. We report a case of a 30-year-old, 14-week pregnant female who presented with complaints of persistent vomiting and loss of appetite.

Navigating the Enigma: A Comprehensive Review of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.

An unidentified source of increased intracranial pressure is a hallmark of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), also referred to as pseudotumor cerebri. It mainly affects young, obese women, yet it can happen to anyone, regardless of age, gender, or weight. IIH presents with symptoms such as headaches, visual disturbances, and pulsatile tinnitus and can lead to severe complications, including vision loss, if left untreated.
