We present the case of a 69-year old man who was brought to the hospital after being found unconscious; last seen at baseline 9 hours prior. On admission he was found to be severely hypoglycemic and received prompt glucose administration, with no immediate neurological improvement. Stroke was suspected. A brain MRI revealed abnormal hyperintense signal involving the head and tail of the left hippocampus. After close neurological monitoring and supportive care in the ICU, his condition improved over time, leaving no residual focal deficits. This case highlights the presence of MRI changes in patients with severe hypoglycemia as it happens in hypoglycemic coma.

A 69-year-old right-handed man, who initially suffered a stroke 8 years ago and experienced two recurrences since then, presented with right hemiplegia and left hemispatial neglect as a post-stroke syndrome in the chronic phase. This report demonstrates the use of active musical instrument playing with Musical Neglect Training (MNT®) to improve severe left-side neglect and activities of daily living (ADLs). In addition to physical and occupational therapy, individual MNT® was incorporated into the patient's rehabilitation plan to improve his hemispatial neglect.

Objectives: Mal-deployment of the thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) stent graft during a frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedure for an acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) leads to devastating complications. We report a hemiarch replacement with TEVAR stent graft covering the aortic arch vessels salvaged through an endovascular approach.
Methods: A 69-year-old man with ATAAD in 2018, status post-hemiarch repair with TEVAR, presented in 2023 with progressive dizziness/syncope and lower extremity hypertension with inability to tolerate anti-hypertensives.

A 69-year-old Japanese man developed abdominal pain, purpura, proteinuria, and hematuria while receiving treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. A skin biopsy revealed IgA-positive leukocytoclastic vasculitis, and a renal biopsy showed IgA-positive mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis with crescent formation. Based on these findings, we diagnosed IgA vasculitis with nephritis (IgAVN) and initiated treatment.
