Q Fever, CNS Vasculitis, and Stroke: A Case Report
A 43-year-old male pet shop owner on leflunomide for seronegative rheumatoid arthritis presented locally with strange behavior and aphasia, preceded by flu-like symptoms and high fevers. Initial workup revealed cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytic pleocytosis (22 cells, 74% lymphocytes), for which he was started on empiric antimicrobial therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed extensive, bilateral ischemic strokes (Figure). A transesophageal echocardiogram was negative. He was then transferred to our institution for further evaluation.

Confusion vs Broca Aphasia: A Case Report.
We present a case of Broca aphasia that was initially interpreted as confusion. CASE PRESENTATION: A 76-year-old woman was brought to the Emergency Department because of confusion and slurred speech that began in the morning. The patient had an extensive history of alcohol abuse, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension and had recently quit drinking 5 days earlier. The patient appeared confused, answering questions with "I don't know," but had no signs of agitation. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain confirmed a recent infarct involving the left frontal and occipital lobes, coinciding with the Broca area. The patient was...

Effect of electroacupuncture  in patients with post-stroke motor aphasia : Neurolinguistic and neuroimaging characteristics.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that the brain lesion regions in post-stroke motor aphasia were not completely consistent with the classical motor speech center. By using MRI our study results suggest that the formation of cognitive language may be involved with the cortical-subcortical functional networks. Acupuncture may be useful for treatment of motor aphasia after stroke. PMID: 27590260 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Non-invasive brain stimulation in early rehabilitation after stroke.
Authors: Blesneag AV, Popa L, Stan AD Abstract UNLABELLED: The new tendency in rehabilitation involves non-invasive tools that, if applied early after stroke, promote neurorecovery. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation may correct the disruption of cortical excitability and effectively contribute to the restoration of movement and speech. The present paper analyses the results of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) trials, highlighting different aspects related to the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation frequency, transcranial direct current stimulation...

Community-applied research of a traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation scheme on Broca's aphasia after stroke: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
DiscussionIf the outcome is positive, this project will offer a low-cost appropriate technology for community health centers (CHCs) in the rehabilitation of aphasia patients after stroke, and could be implemented on a large scale, both in China and worldwide.Trial registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChiCTR-TRC-13003703. Registration date: 18 October 2013.
