Background: Cases of congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) are rare, and the occurrence of hemorrhagic infarction is also rare. The etiology is unclear.
Observations: A 3-year-old Asian boy with CDG type 1A was hospitalized with pneumonia.

Background: Concurrent ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are extremely rare, and their management remains perplexing due to the absence of high-quality evidence and limited resources. For the first time, we report a rare, preventable, and suboptimally managed case of concurrent AIS and STEMI in a patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) who received cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CHOP) chemotherapy.
Case Presentation: A 59-year-old postmenopausal woman of African origin with a background history of type 2 diabetes mellitus presented to the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute with sudden onset of left-sided weakness and typical ischemic chest pain for 3 days.
Introduction Parenteral heparin is widely used as bridging therapy while optimising oral anticoagulation(OAC). Newer Direct-Acting OACs(DOACs) attain therapeutic effect very quickly. We report the use of dabigatran as bridging therapy during warfarin optimization for cardioembolic stroke in two patients who opted to receive warfarin for long-term anticoagulation for secondary stroke prevention.

Objective: This study explored structural and functional alterations in the whole brain of stroke patients with hemiplegia.
Methods: We collected multimodal magnetic resonance images of 24 patients with ischaemic stroke and 16 age-matched controls. Resting-state functional connectivity (FC) for all brain regions was evaluated.

Objectives: We investigated the therapeutic effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with routine physiotherapy on the neurological and upper limb motor function in ischemic stroke patients with hemiplegia.
Methods: In a Randomized double-blind controlled trial study, 52 eligible stroke patients were assigned to real tDCS receiving bihemispheric electrical current with 1.5 mA for 30 minutes over the primary motor cortex, and sham tDCS with a current intensity of 0.
