A Study of the Mean Platelet Volume and Plasma Fibrinogen in Type Two Diabetes Mellitus Patients Versus Healthy Controls and Their Role as Early Markers of Diabetic Microvascular Complications.

Background Mean platelet volume (MPV) is considered an emerging biological marker of platelet function and activity. Higher MPV has been scientifically linked to diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, stroke, and coronary artery disease. Plasma fibrinogen is a circulating glycoprotein, serving as an acute inflammatory marker ultimately leading to enhanced atherogenic plaque formation.

Post-Viral Longitudinally Extensive Transverse Myelitis: A Case Report.

Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis is a rare neurological manifestation caused by dengue infection. Here, we describe the uncommon presentation of a 24-year-old male with fever and maculopapular rash followed by flaccid quadriparesis with acute urinary retention. Magnetic resonance imaging of the whole spine with contrast revealed a long-segment ill-defined hyperintense signal noted in the cord.

Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Aneurysm Presenting With Severe Vertigo and Altered Sensorium.

Posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms are relatively uncommon among intracranial aneurysms and present unique challenges due to their complex anatomical origins. PICA aneurysms arise from the vertebral artery (VA), basilar artery, or anterior inferior cerebellar artery and can have complex anatomical sites and structures. A 31-year-old female known case of trigeminal neuralgia, currently asymptomatic for the same, experienced acute vertigo, headache, and altered sensorium.
