Single-Center Description of Therapeutic Anticoagulation Practices and Outcomes in Large Hemispheric Infarctions
Discussion Although radiographic HT is common among patients with LHI, it does not always portend symptomatic clinical deterioration. Further research regarding AC timing and safety is necessary.

A Novel Homozygous Non-sense Mutation in the Catalytic Domain of MTHFR Causes Severe 5,10-Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Deficiency
Conclusion: We identified a novel non-sense mutation in MTHFR gene in a single Egyptian family with severe MTHFR deficiency. The present investigation is clinically important, as it adds to the growing list of MTHFR mutations, which might help in genetic counseling of families of affected children and proper genotype-phenotype correlation. Background Severe 5,10-Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR; OMIM 236250) deficiency is a rare inborn error of metabolism and inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. It is a very common disorder of folate metabolism and is clinically characterized with low plasma methion...

Right superior vena cava drainage into the left atrium revealed by multiples strokes after pacemaker implantation
An 84-year-old woman had undergone dual-chamber pacemaker implantation in a primary care hospital for sick sinus syndrome. The leads were inserted through the right subclavian vein because the patient was left-handed. One year later, she suffered from an ischemic stroke. During ventricular pacing, ECG showed a right bundle branch block pattern, and chest radiography (A) suggested that pacing lead tips were in the left atrium (LA) and left ventricle. After transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, it was initially thought that the leads passed through a patent foramen ovale. A thrombus on the ventricular lead was ...
