February 2025
Department of Orthopaedics and Spine Surgery, Ganga Medical Centre & Hospitals Pvt Ltd, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.
Case: A 52-year-old male fell from his bike and sustained fractures of the right proximal humerus and the left distal radius, both of which were fixed in a single sitting a day after the injury. On postoperative day four, the patient developed features suggestive of acute pulmonary embolism.
Conclusion: Reports of acute pulmonary embolism developing after surgical fixation of bilateral upper extremity fractures are rare.
Patients with neurological or psychiatric complications of COVID-19 have worse long-term functional outcomes: COVID-CNS-A multicentre case-control study.
Sci Rep

Clinical Infection, Microbiology & Immunology, Institute of Infection, Veterinary and Ecological Sciences, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK.
It is established that patients hospitalised with COVID-19 often have ongoing morbidity affecting activity of daily living (ADL), employment, and mental health. However, little is known about the relative outcomes in patients with COVID-19 neurological or psychiatric complications. We conducted a UK multicentre case-control study of patients hospitalised with COVID-19 (controls) and those who developed COVID-19 associated acute neurological or psychiatric complications (cases).

Neurology
February 2025
Department of Neurology, Department of Stroke, University Hospital Cleveland Medical Center, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH.
Background And Objectives: Although previous trials have established the efficacy and safety of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in large ischemic core strokes, most of them excluded patients with extracranial internal carotid artery (e-ICA) occlusion. We aimed to compare outcomes in patients with e-ICA occlusion and large ischemic core infarcts treated with EVT vs medical management (MM).
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the SELECT2 trial, a randomized controlled trial conducted at 31 international sites.
Orbitopalpebral emphysema in a child after the removal of a giant meningioma: a case report and mini-review.
Brain Spine
December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Neuroscience Center, Copenhagen University Hospital (Rigshospitalet), Copenhagen, Denmark.
Research Question: to describe and investigate the case of an 11-year-old boy with the concomitant pneumocephalus, subcutaneous- and orbitopalpebral emphysema after the removal of a giant meningioma. Furthermore, our aim is to discuss the findings and the pathophysiology in relation to cases found in literature.
Material And Methods: We performed a search in PubMed, Cochrane, MEDLINE and Google Scholar by the usage of the words orbital or periorbital, combined with emphysema and neurosurgery.
Three episodes of basilar tip occlusion necessitating thrombectomies and a vertebral artery sacrifice in a patient with subclavian artery dissection distal to the vertebral artery origin: a case report.
AME Case Rep
October 2024
Department of Diagnostic Imaging, Soroka University Medical Center, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel.
Background: While acute occlusion of the subclavian artery (SCA) proximal to the vertebral artery (VA) origin is an uncommon but recognized cause of embolic stroke, an occlusion distal to the VA is rare and can be easily overlooked.
Case Description: We describe the clinical presentation and evaluation of a previously healthy 56-year-old woman who experienced four life-threatening posterior circulation strokes within 1 month, three of which led to basilar artery (BA) occlusions requiring thrombectomies. Workup revealed an occlusion of the right SCA located less than 1 cm distal to the VA origin.
