Background: Corpus callosum (CC) infarction has been reported to be rare because of the rich blood supply in the CC. The pathophysiology of CC infarction associated with acute hydrocephalus is unknown. The aim of the present study was to clarify the characteristics and mechanism of CC infarction associated with acute noncommunicating hydrocephalus (ANCH).
Methods: We reviewed clinical the data from all patients who had undergone surgical intervention for ANCH at Chiba University Hospital from January 2008 to March 2018. Patients with vascular lesions, a history of hydrocephalus, and lacking magnetic resonance imaging studies were excluded. The clinical, surgical, and radiological parameters were obtained retrospectively for pathophysiological analysis.
Results: A total of 23 patients with ANCH who had undergone surgical intervention and had met the inclusion criteria were included in the present study. Of the 23 patients, 6 (23%) had developed CC infarction. All CC infarctions were located in the splenium. Although no clinical or surgical features were associated with splenial infarction, the radiological parameters of lateral ventricle enlargement and a narrower callosal angle at the posterior commissure and the foramen of Monro were significantly associated with splenial infarction.
Conclusion: The present study has presented evidence that increased intraventricular pressure by ANCH applied transversely in the splenium will directly induce compression of the superior branch of the posterior callosal artery and pericallosal pial plexus, resulting in splenium-specific infarction in patients with ANCH.

Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis associated metabolic encephalopathy caused by dapagliflozin: a rare case report.
BMC Neurol

Department of Neurology, Haiyan People's Hospital, Jiaxing City, 314300, Zhejiang Province, China.
Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2(SGLT-2) inhibitors are a newer class of antidiabetic drugs with the increased risk of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis(EuDKA). Encephalopathy is a rare but life-threatening event of EuDKA. Due to paradoxically normal or slightly elevated serum glucose levels, it's easy to be mimicked by cerebral infarction, structural brain damage, thus leading to delayed diagnosis and causing seriously irreversible brain injury.

Background: Adenomyosis, typically associated with heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain, is rarely linked to neurological complications. This case presents a rare instance of ischemic stroke in a young patient with adenomyosis and vascular abnormalities, underscoring the role of anemia, hypercoagulability, and vascular factors as potential contributors to cerebral infarction.
Case Presentation: We describe a 41-year-old female with a history of adenomyosis who presented with right-sided hemianopia and dizziness following severe menstrual bleeding.
Visit-to-visit lipid variability on long-term major adverse cardiovascular events: a prospective multicentre cohort from the CORE-Thailand registry.

Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, 110, Inthawaroros Road, Sriphum, Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai, 50200, Thailand.
Lipid variability (LV) has been studied and proposed as a potential predictor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and increased LV may contribute to adverse clinical outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the association of various LV parameters with the risk of long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among the Thai population. The study used data from the CORE-Thailand Registry, a prospective multicentre study of adults with high cardiovascular risk or established CVD.

Aims: To evaluate the association between transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and outcomes in patients with significant mitral regurgitation (MR) following acute myocardial infarction (MI), focusing on the aetiology of acute post-MI MR in high-risk surgical patients.
Methods And Results: The International Registry of MitraClip in Acute Mitral Regurgitation following Acute Myocardial Infarction (IREMMI) includes 187 patients with severe MR post-MI managed with TEER. Of these, 176 were included in the analysis, 23 (13%) patients had acute papillary muscle rupture (PMR) and 153 (87%) acute secondary MR.
