This study presents a thorough analysis of published crossed aphasia (CA) cases, including for the first time the cases published in Japanese. The frequency of specific symptoms was determined, and symptomatology differences based on gender, familial sinistrality, and CA subtype were investigated. Results suggested that the CA population is comparable to the left-hemisphere patient population. However, male were significantly more likely than female CA subjects to show a positive history of familial sinistrality. Typical right-hemisphere (i.e., nonlanguage-dominant) symptoms were frequent but rarely carefully reported or assessed. Results are compared with previous CA reviews and left-hemisphere aphasia. Suggestions for a more systematic assessment of the CA symptomatology are presented.

Background: Individuals having experienced a stroke need the help of an individual to perform their activities of daily living. Therefore, the disease affects not only patients but also their caregivers.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate how aphasia affects caregivers' burden of care, quality of life, and occupational performance.
External Validation of Vision, Aphasia and Neglect, Ventura Emergent Large Vessel Occlusion and Large Artery Intracranial Occlusion Screening Tools for Emergent Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke: A Multicenter, Prospective, Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Vision, Aphasia, and Neglect (VAN), Ventura Emergent Large Vessel Occlusion (VES), and Large Artery Intracranial Occlusion (LARIO) are promising stroke screening tools that were shown to have high diagnostic performance to detect Emergent Large Vessel Occlusion (ELVO) in their derivation studies.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the validation of VAN, VES, and LARIO in predicting ELVO among patients presenting at emergency department (ED) triage with suspected acute ischemic stroke.
Methods: This is a prospective multicenter study conducted in five EDs of tertiary stroke centers between June and October 2023.

Article Synopsis
- A study explored naming impairment in a 78-year-old bilingual woman with logopenic primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA), focusing on her ability to name items in both Chinese and English over two years.
- The results showed that she had higher naming accuracy in English, her more frequently used language, compared to Chinese, her first language.
- Regression analyses indicated that factors like familiarity, word length, and age of acquisition affected her naming abilities differently in each language.
Contrast-induced encephalopathy with visual and auditory hallucinations triggered by coronary angiography with iodixanol: a case report.

Article Synopsis
- Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a rare but serious complication after coronary angiography, often presenting as transient cortical blindness; however, this case reports the first instance of CIE accompanied by visual and auditory hallucinations.
- An 80-year-old female patient experienced confusion and hallucinations following an elective coronary procedure, after complications were encountered during the angiography; stroke was initially suspected but ruled out through MRI.
- The patient was diagnosed with CIE and treated with sedation and quetiapine for her hallucinations, ultimately leading to the resolution of her symptoms within five days.

Neuroimaging Research Unit, Division of Neuroscience, IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute, 20132 Milan, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on predicting the spread of pathology in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) to improve early diagnosis and intervention, utilizing the Network Diffusion Model (NDM) to analyze brain atrophy in patients.
- Researchers examined various FTD subtypes, finding four main epicenters of atrophy, with significant correlations between NDM predictions and actual longitudinal changes observed in patients over 24 months.
- Results highlighted the progression patterns of different FTD variants, with notable early involvement in specific brain regions and varying effects on atrophy depending on the subtype, particularly in semantic-variant PPA and semantic behavioral variant FTD.
