Neuroanatomical Localization of the Vestibular Cortex: A Case Report.

Vertigo, a symptom of illusory movement, is caused by asymmetry of the vestibular system. The vestibular system consists of the vestibular labyrinth, cranial nerve VIII, brainstem vestibular nuclei, cerebellum, ocular motor nuclei, spinal cord, and less well-defined cerebral projections. In this day and age of artificial intelligence, machine learning, advanced imaging, and cutting-edge research in the field of neurology, the exact cortical control of vestibular function is still uncharted.

Cutaneous Fungal Infections in Patients Experiencing Homelessness and Treatment in Low-Resource Settings: A Scoping Review.

Patients experiencing homelessness (PEH) suffer from a high burden of cutaneous fungal infections. Preventative treatment is important as such infections can lead to harmful complications such as cellulitis and even osteomyelitis. There are sparse data regarding cutaneous fungal infections of homeless populations and management in low-resource settings.

Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema and Digital Clubbing.

Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is an underrecognized syndrome that involves simultaneous restrictive-obstructive lung disease. The prognosis is poor, and it frequently occurs with comorbidities. Heavy or former smoking is a major risk factor, and computed tomography (CT) typically shows lower zone fibrosis and upper zone emphysema.

Endovascular Thrombectomy With or Without Intravenous Thrombolysis: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: We performed this meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials to compare the outcomes in patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy who receive prior intravenous thrombolysis with those who do not receive such treatment. Recently, one randomized trial reported outcomes to address this issue, so timely update of meta-analysis is needed to determine the value of administering intravenous thrombolysis before endovascular thrombectomy.

Materials And Methods: Four randomized clinical trials are included in our meta-analysis.

Onychotillomania in the Setting of Homelessness.

Onychotillomania is a psychodermatosis that involves repetitive, self-induced trauma to the nail and sometimes the periungual skin. It is generally seen as an overlapping psychiatric and dermatologic disorder, although there have not been any statistically significant associations with psychiatric illness. Some studies have noted an association with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
