Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) presents a significant burden to patients, families, and the healthcare system. The ability to accurately predict functional outcomes for SCI patients is essential for optimizing rehabilitation strategies, guiding patient and family decision making, and improving patient care.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 589 SCI patients admitted to a single acute rehabilitation facility and used the dataset to train advanced machine learning algorithms to predict patients' rehabilitation outcomes.

Introduction: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) encephalitis is a neuropsychiatric disorder with additional psychiatric features caused by NMDA-R immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This report presents the follow-up of a patient in whom we assumed mild NMDA-R encephalitis in the first psychotic episode.
Case Study: A patient with a prior episode of an acute polymorphic psychotic syndrome relapsed five and a half years later following a severe COVID-19 infection.

Introduction: The impact of race on outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplants (HCT) has long been a field of research. The Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) studies have shown worse survival for Black and Hispanic patients within the first year after HCT, but rates evened out for one-year survivors. From our personal experience, we hypothesize that the outcomes of South Asians (age ≥ 45 years) receiving myeloablative conditioning (MAC) are also worse compared to other races.

Stress cardiomyopathy/Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a transient cardiac condition characterized by sudden and reversible left ventricular dysfunction, typically triggered by emotional or physical stress. The international TTS (InterTAK) score predicts the probability of suffering from TTS. However, the diagnostic algorithm includes three mutually exclusive diagnoses: acute coronary syndrome (ACS), TTS, and acute infectious myocarditis.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.
