A Case of Acute Cerebral Infarction With Chief Complaints of Abdominal Pain and Bloody Diarrhoea: The Power of a Patient-Centered Inclusive Diagnostic Team
We present the case of a 66-year-old man who presented with acute abdominal pain and bloody stool as his chief complaints and was finally diagnosed with ischemic colitis from colon cancer and acute cerebral infarction.

Cholinesterase inhibitors for vascular dementia and other vascular cognitive impairments: a network meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: We found moderate- to high-certainty evidence that donepezil 5 mg, donepezil 10 mg, and galantamine have a slight beneficial effect on cognition in people with VCI, although the size of the change is unlikely to be clinically important. Donepezil 10 mg and galantamine 16 to 24 mg are probably associated with more adverse events than placebo. The evidence for rivastigmine was less certain. The data suggest that donepezil 10 mg has the greatest effect on cognition, but at the cost of adverse effects. The effect is modest, but in the absence of any other treatments, people living with VCI may still wish to consid...
