Unveiling post-COVID-19 Rasmussen's encephalitis: a case report of rare neurological complication.

Introduction And Importance: Rasmussen encephalitis (RE) is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes unilateral inflammation of the cerebral cortex and can lead to drug-resistant epilepsy and progressive neurological decline. Although the emergence of RE following COVID-19 has not been well documented, it emphasizes the need to understand the impact of COVID-19 on neurological health. This case emphasizes the importance of early recognition and intervention to prevent adverse outcomes related to post-COVID-19 neurological complications.

Primary adrenal angiosarcoma: A case report and review of the literature.

Primary adrenal angiosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor with challenging diagnosis. A 66-year-old woman had a 4.3 cm right adrenal mass suspicious for adrenal cortical carcinoma.

Platelet Anti-Aggregator Drowns the Heart.

Background: Anagrelide is a drug used for treatment of essential thrombocytosis especially when conventional therapy is insufficient. Adverse effects associated with anagrelide are palpitation, liver toxicity, renal failure and in few cases pericardial effusion. We here report a rare case of anagrelide induced pericardial effusion.

Parotid Warthin's tumor: novel MR imaging score as diagnostic indicator.

Objectives: Despite known characteristic radiologic and clinical features, differentiation between Warthin's tumor (WT) and other parotid tumors remains challenging. The purpose of this study was to more precisely assess the MR imaging features of WT and to develop a scoring system combining the most specific characteristics.

Methods: A total of 208 patients with parotid gland tumors and presurgical MRI were included.

Temporal Pattern of CABG and PCI after Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction Among Elderly Patients from NHDS.

Background Management of elderly patients with Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) continues to be a source of controversy due to underrepresentation in large-scale clinical trials and the increased risk of adverse outcomes after both invasive (Percutaneous coronary intervention and Coronary artery bypass grafting) and non-invasive therapies. Recent randomized clinical trials have shown improved short term and intermediate term outcomes among high risk NSTEMI patients receiving early invasive management versus conservative medical management. However, how this is reflected in U.

Apixaban in Comparison to Warfarin for Stroke Prevention in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies.

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation leads to increased risk of systemic embolism and stroke. To decrease these adverse events, anticoagulation is routinely prescribed. Nonvitamin K anticoagulants like apixaban and rivaroxaban are becoming popular and being used more frequently nowadays.

Epoetin Alfa: A Cause of Coronary Artery Thrombosis.

Introduction: Epoetin alfa is an erythrocyte-stimulating factor. We here present a case of an anemic patient, who was given epogen before a coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery and developed periprocedural myocardial infarction. To our knowledge, there has been no previous case reported of epogen causing myocardial infarction.
