Lateral medullary syndrome (LMS) is a neurological disorder usually presenting as loss of pain and thermal sensation over the ipsilateral face and contralateral half of the body, ipsilateral limb ataxia, Horner's syndrome, dysphagia, nystagmus, hiccups among other symptoms but never with limb weakness. In the present case, the patient presented with ipsilateral hemiparesis, which can be attributed to the extension of the infarct caudally beyond the pyramidal decussation, affecting the corticospinal fibers in the upper cervical cord, a variant of LMS, known as Opalski syndrome (OS).

Background: Acute brainstem infarction is associated with high morbidity and mortality, the integrity of corticospinal tract (CST) detected via diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can assist in predicting the motor recovery of the patients. In addition to the damage caused by ischemia and reperfusion, sterile inflammation also contributes to the brain injury after stroke. However, the changes in CST integrity detected by DTI in acute brainstem infarction have yet to be fully elucidated, and it is still unclear whether sterile inflammation can cause damage to the CST.

Objective: The primary goals of glioma surgery are maximal tumor resection and preservation of brain function. Intraoperative motor-evoked potential (MEP) monitoring is commonly used to predict and minimize postoperative paralysis. However, studies on intraoperative MEP trends and postoperative paralysis are scarce.

To retrospectively explore the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in analyzing the corticospinal tract injury in acute cerebral anterior circulation infarction in the basal ganglia region and the correlation between DTI parameters and neurological function scores, patients with acute cerebral infarction and stroke had undergone plain MRI and DTI sequence scanning were enrolled. Diffusion tensor tractography was used to perform 3-dimensional reconstruction of bilateral corticospinal tracts (CST). The image data were processed to obtain fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, and the correlation between the DTI parameters and neurological function scores of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was evaluated.

Background: Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM), defined as the co-occurrence of 2 or more cardiometabolic diseases, including myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and type 2 diabetes (T2D), is an increasing public health challenge. Although poor diet is a known risk factor for a first cardiometabolic disease (FCMD), the relationship with subsequent occurrence of CMM is less studied.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the prospective association between baseline adherence to the Mediterranean diet and the onset of CMM across various follow-up durations.
