Article Abstract

is an obligate intracellular, Gram-negative pathogen, causative agent of Human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis (HGA). HGA usually manifests as a non-specific febrile illness, accompanied by evidence of leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, and an alteration in liver enzymes. Neurologic manifestations of anaplasmosis are rare and rarely reported. We describe a 62-year-old man who developed encephalitis due to an infection. The patient favorably responded to intravenous doxycycline and recovered without neurological sequela. In the tick endemic area, clinicians should have a high index of suspicion for tick-borne diseases in patients presenting with neurological deficits. A prompt diagnosis and treatment lead to improvements in morbidity and mortality.

Objective: This study applied the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) to explore the barriers and enablers to optimizing post-operative pain management and supporting safe opioid use from the perspectives of both patients and health care professionals, applying the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF).

Design: Experience-based co-design (EBCD) qualitative study.

Methods: In the initial phase of the EBCD approach, focus groups were conducted comprising 20 participants, including 8 patients and 12 health care professionals involved in post-operative care.

Postoperative aphasia (POA) is a common complication in patients undergoing surgery for language-eloquent lesions. This study aimed to enhance the prediction of POA by leveraging preoperative navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) language mapping and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)-based tractography, incorporating deep learning (DL) algorithms. One hundred patients with left-hemispheric lesions were retrospectively enrolled (43 developed postoperative aphasia, as the POA group; 57 did not, as the non-aphasia (NA) group).

Purpose: Postoperative delirium (POD) remains poorly understood in terms of predictors and underlying mechanisms. This review summarized emerging evidence on the association between brain microstructural alterations and POD.

Method: This is a narrative review, describing the microstructural changes in aging brain, microstructural MRI findings, relationship among microstructural alterations, cognitive reserve and POD, and potential interventions targeting microstructure.

BACKGROUND Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults, often diagnosed late in resource-limited settings. The diagnosis is made through a combination of clinical ophthalmologic examination, B-mode ultrasound, and histopathological study. This report details a case of a 67-year-old woman with progressive vision loss and ocular pain due to an inferomedial uveal melanoma to highlight therapeutic limitations from delayed diagnosis.

Background: Neuropathic pain (NP) is frequently resistant to conventional treatments. Botulinum toxin type A (BT-A) is a recommended option for focal peripheral NP, but the dynamics of its effect in real-life conditions remain poorly characterized.

Objective: To assess BT-A efficacy in a real-world study of patients with focal peripheral NP, over a 1-year follow-up period.
