AI Article Synopsis
- - Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a serious immune response that can occur after a transplant, leading to severe health issues and potential organ failure, often resulting in death.
- - Patients with GVHD can experience various neurological symptoms, particularly during the acute phase of the disease, which may be nonspecific.
- - A case study of a 53-year-old woman with severe GVHD after a bone marrow transplant showed acute neurological symptoms, with MRI scans indicating conditions like Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome and Wernicke Encephalopathy.
Article Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is an immune triggered process leading to severe immune dysregulation and organ dysfunction until death and it is one of the worst medical complications after a transplant. Patients with GVHD may have several neurological alterations: during this acute severe phase there is coexistence of various and nonspecific neurological symptoms. We are reporting a case of a 53 year old woman with severe GVHD after bone marrow transplant with acute neurological signs and symptoms. MRI study showed findings consistent with Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome and Wernicke encephalopathy.

A comparative analysis of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty versus reverse shoulder arthroplasty for posterior glenoid wear patterns.

Introduction: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) and anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) are well-known methods of treating glenohumeral arthritis, which often leads to posterior wear of the glenoid. This study compared minimum two-year outcome measures in patients treated with RSA and TSA for Walch B2 and B3 glenoids.
Methods: Thirty-eight shoulders underwent TSA and 40 shoulders underwent RSA by two fellowship-trained shoulder surgeons at a tertiary referral center.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is an uncommon neurological condition characterized by reversible subcortical vasogenic edema that primarily affects the posterior areas of the brain. Subcortical vasogenic edema resulting from endothelial injury and hypertension is the pathogenesis. Here, we present a 23-year-old female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis who developed PRES following Rituximab (a monoclonal anti-CD-20 antibody) administration.

We conducted two experiments to examine the lexical and sub-lexical processing of Chinese two-character words in reading. We used a co-registration electroencephalogram (EEG) for the first fixation on target words. In Experiment 1, whole-word occurrence frequency and initial constituent character frequency were orthogonally manipulated, while in Experiment 2, whole-word occurrence frequency and end constituent character frequency were orthogonally manipulated.

Introduction: The hemolysis-elevated liver enzymes-low platelet counts (HELLP) syndrome and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) are rare conditions that can complicate pregnancy and the early postpartum period. Although both are closely related to hypertensive pregnancy disorders, their association is rarely described, so the outcome of these patients remains unknown. We present a case report of PRES associated with HELLP syndrome and a review of all previously published cases, including demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, treatment, and outcome.

Objectives: Eclampsia remains a principal cause of maternal mortality, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The frequent association with Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) underscores the critical role of neuroimaging in clinical assessment. We aimed to evaluate tomographic findings in women with eclampsia and analyze clinical factors associated with these abnormalities.
