What Sub-Saharan African Nations Can Teach the U.S. About Black Maternal Health
While poor maternal outcomes among Black women in the U.S. is not new, improving it is imperative. U.S. policymakers can look to sub-Saharan Africa for guidance on reversing this trend. Credit: Ernest Ankomah/IPSBy Ifeanyi NsoforABUJA, Jun 2 2023 (IPS) New research shows that Black mothers in the United States disproportionately live in counties with higher maternal vulnerability and face greater risk of preterm death for the fetus, greater risk of low birth weight for a baby, and a higher number of maternal deaths. While poor maternal outcomes among Black women in the U.S. is not new, improving it is imperative. U.S. poli...

Delayed gait recovery by resolution of limb-kinetic apraxia in a chronic hemiparetic stroke patient: A case report
Rationale: This paper reports on a chronic hemiparetic stroke patient who showed delayed gait recovery due to resolution of limb-kinetic apraxia (LKA). Patient concerns: A 49-year-old man underwent comprehensive rehabilitation at a local rehabilitation hospital since 3 weeks after spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage. However, he could not walk independently because of severe motor weakness in his right leg until 19 months after the onset. Diagnosis: At the beginning of rehabilitation at our hospital (19 months after onset), we thought that he had the neurological potential to walk independently beca...

A journey through clinic and research
I started to study Medicine at the University of Genoa, Italy more than 20 years ago and I now realize that I was quite far from understanding what ‘Medicine’ really means. After weeks and weeks spent on books during the first year, I understood that becoming a MD not only requires the willingness to help people with health problems, but also strong motivation and dedication to learn a huge amount of notions. In Italy, as it is the case for several other countries, the University courses last 6 years, during which the MD student is fully engaged by individual study, lessons and seminars, exercises, and internships. Wit...

Transdermal opioid patch in treatment of paroxysmal autonomic instability with dystonia with multiple cerebral insults: A case report
Rationale: Paroxysmal autonomic instability with dystonia (PAID) is an underdiagnosed syndrome that describes a collection of symptoms following diverse cerebral insults, such as traumatic brain injury, hydrocephalus, hemorrhagic stroke, or brain anoxia. It is manifested by systemic high blood pressure, hyperthermia, tachycardia, tachypnea, diaphoresis, intermittent agitation, and certain forms of dystonia. Patient concerns: A semi-comatose 46-year-old man was transferred from the regional rehabilitation hospital with various complaints involving fluctuating vital signs, including uncontrolled hyperthermia, hypertensi...

Acute onset bilateral hearing loss in dorsomedial pontine hemorrhage: A Case report
We report herein a rare case of acute onset bilateral hearing loss caused by nontraumatic pontine hemorrhage. Pontine hemorrhage is often associated with disturbance of consciousness; however, care is required as latent communication disorder due to impaired hearing is possible regardless of the state of consciousness.

A case report on middle cerebral artery aneurysm treated by rapid ventricular pacing: A CARE compliant case report
Rationale: Cerebral aneurysm is a common cause of intracranial hemorrhage, stroke, and death. It is treated with vascular surgeries, such as coil embolism and artery clipping. However, surgery itself is a risk factor that may cause rupture of aneurysm, and leads to irreversible brain damage, and even death. Rapid ventricular pacing (RVP) is a procedure that temporarily lowers blood pressure by increasing heart rate and reducing ventricular filling time. RVP has been widely used to reduce blood vessel tension in many cardiovascular surgeries. Patient concerns: A 46-year-old man came to our hospital with intermittent ri...

The different association of allocentric and egocentric neglect with dorsal and ventral pathways: A case report
Rationale: Egocentric neglect is characterized by responses missing on the contralateral side with respect to the viewer, while allocentric neglect is characterized in responses missing on the contralateral side with respect to the object . However, little has been reported about the neural tracts associated with egocentric and allocentric neglect. We investigated which neural tracts were involved in two types of neglect (egocentric and allocentric) in a stroke patient who showed allocentric neglect by using the Apple Cancellation test, a specialized test to distinguish between egocentric and allocentric neglect. Patien...
