However, there is a notable gap in research focusing on the mental and vascular conditions of minor ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients, particularly within the Thai population.
Objectives: To investigate the clinical characteristics and mental issues related to vascular functions in patients who have experienced a minor ischemic stroke or TIA.
Introduction: Aging leads to vascular endothelial dysfunction and muscle impairment. While resistance exercise improves muscular function, its acute effects on vascular function vary in the literature, with some studies reporting detrimental effects. These findings indicate the need for exercises that optimize muscle function without compromising vascular function.

Materials And Methods: Forty patients with PD were randomly assigned to the sublingual CBDEP ( = 20) or placebo ( = 20) group. All patients were prescribed a low initial dose with gradual titration within 2 weeks based on individual response - including side effects - followed by 6 weeks of stable dosing.
A 45-year-old man developed parkinsonism 3 weeks after being diagnosed with mild COVID-19. Levodopa and benserazide failed to improve his symptoms, necessitating ropinirole, and steroid treatment, which included a 5-day course of methylprednisolone followed by a 3-month oral prednisolone taper. One month after initiating steroid treatment, his symptoms improved significantly.

He tested positive for serum myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein IgG antibody and was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone (1 g/d) for 5 days followed by oral prednisolone taper. Six weeks after treatment, his symptoms resolved.
