Efficacy and safety of ticagrelor monotherapy in patients following percutaneous coronary intervention: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: We aimed to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety ticagrelor monotherapy following percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: Online databases were searched for relevant studies (published between the years 2015 and 2020) comparing 1-month Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) followed by 23-month ticagrelor monotherapy with 12-month DAPT followed by 12-month aspirin monotherapy following percutaneous coronary intervention. Primary outcomes assessed efficacy whereas secondary outcomes assessed safety. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) based on a random effect model were calc...

A Case of Takayasu's Arteritis with a Thrombosed Aneurysm on the Common Carotid Artery Causing Ischemic Stroke
Intern Med. 2021 Jul 30. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.7735-21. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTakayasu's arteritis is an inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that causes stenosis, occlusion, or dilatation of the aorta and its major branches, the pulmonary arteries, and the coronary arteries. The incidence of extracranial carotid artery aneurysm in patients with Takayasu's arteritis is reportedly 1.8%-3.9%. We herein report a patient with Takayasu's arteritis who presented with transient left hemiplegia immediately after neck massage. Carotid ultrasonography revealed a thrombus within the fusiform aneurysm on the right ...

Patient concerns: A 15-year-old male student presented in the hospital with sudden headache, nausea, and vomiting and was diagnosed with protein S deficiency by gene testing. Diagnoses: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis due to protein S deficiency was diagnosed in this adolescent patient, who underwent successful endovascular therapy (EVT). Interventions: The patient was treated with standard anti-coagulation therapy including low-molecular-weight heparin ...

Effectiveness and Safety of Dabigatran in Atrial Fibrillation Patients with Severe Obesity: a Real-World Retrospective Cohort Study
ConclusionsAmong AF patients with a BMI>40kg/m2 or a weight>120kg in a real-world clinical setting, dabigatran was effective in reducing the risk of thromboembolism and mortality but was associated with an increased risk of bleeding when compared to warfarin. Dabigatran may be a reasonable option for AF patients with severe obesity.

Electroencephalographic Findings in a Cohort of Egyptian Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients with Neuropsychiatric Manifestations
ConclusionNot all patients with NPSLE must have abnormal brain MRI or EEG. EEG is a useful assistant tool in diagnosing and studying the different manifestations of NPSLE especially seizure disorder and acute confusional state, but it cannot be used as a screening test alone for detecting NPSLE and must be supplemented by neuroimaging studies.

Locked-in Syndrome Due to Meningovascular Syphilis: A Case Report and Literature Review
Intern Med. 2021 Oct 19. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.8269-21. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe herein report a 46-year-old man presenting with locked-in syndrome secondary to meningovascular syphilis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated multiple acute infarctions in the left ventromedial pons, right basis pontis, and left basal ganglia. His locked-in syndrome was hypothesized to have been caused by thrombosis of the small paramedian branches of the basilar artery due to syphilitic arteritis. This is a unique case of bilateral ventromedial pontine infarction caused by meningovascular syphilis that presente...
