Article Abstract

Early diagnosis of spinal cord subacute combined degeneration (SCD) is difficult, especially in pre-existing lower extremity impairment cases. We report a case of progressive SCD diagnosed after severe anemia. The peripheral symptoms of SCD other than gait disturbance should also be well understood and given close attention.

Background: Poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) affects 30% to 50% of stroke survivors, severely impacting functional outcomes and quality of life. This study uses functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to assess task-evoked brain activation and its potential for stratifying the severity in patients with PSCI.

Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Nanchong Central Hospital between June 2023 and April 2024.

Background And Purpose: Low-level light therapy (LLLT) has been shown to modulate recovery in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the longitudinal impact of LLLT on brain metabolites has not been studied. The purpose of this study was to use magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) to assess the metabolic response of LLLT in patients with moderate TBI at acute (within 1 week), subacute (2-3 weeks), and late-subacute (3 months) recovery phases.

Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is predominantly observed in developing countries but remains relatively rare in developed countries. Therefore, if a clinician does not suspect TBM, its diagnosis may be delayed. Furthermore, drug-induced hepatotoxicity is common and can become severe during TBM treatment.

Cognitive impairment, ocular neuropathy, sensorimotor polyneuropathy, and subacute combined spinal cord degeneration can all result from a common illness called vitamin B12 insufficiency. With regard to extrapyramidal movement disorders, it is rare, frequently misdiagnosed, and under recognized, which postpones timely treatment. A case study of a 66-year-old man with acute-onset and reversible choreoathetoid symptoms is presented in this publication.
