Diagnostic value of color-coded duplex sonography in patients with ischemic stroke and congenital changes in the circle of Willis
Publication date: Available online 11 February 2016 Source:Cor et Vasa Author(s): I. Staikov, I. Stoyanov, M. Staneva, N. Neykov, G. Kirova, P. Polomski, I. Petrov The circle of Willis (CoW) forms the main circulatory system in the human brain. A large number of variations of the CoW is known, and also their association with ischemic stroke. Three cases of young patients with combination of ischemic stroke and anomalies in the CoW are presented, and the value of the color-coded duplex sonography (CCDS) is compared to other imaging diagnostics such as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and digital subtraction ang...

Serum TRSUT Titer ≥1: 16 Is a Predictor for Neurosyphilis Among HIV-Infected Patients With Concurrent Syphilis and No Neurological Symptoms
Abstract: Investigating the predictors for lumbar puncture to diagnose the asymptomatic neurosyphilis among HIV and syphilis co-infected patients in Shanghai, China. Respectively, screening the medical records from August 1, 2009 to June 30, 2015. Those HIV-infected patients with concurrent syphilis who had received lumbar puncture were selected and their clinical and demographic data were recorded. Participants comprised symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. The latter ones could be further divided into 3 groups: late syphilis, early syphilis with anti-syphilis treatment failure, and early syphilis with serum toludine re...

The Most Unusual Deaths By State, In One Map
What are the most distinctive deaths by state? Researcher Francis Boscoe of the New York State Cancer Registry set out to answer that question by analyzing the deaths in each state from 2001 to 2010. Out of a total 136 causes of death, Boscoe pinpointed the number one reason people in different states died that was distinct from the United States’ general population. Now keep in mind that these aren’t the most common deaths in each state. Instead, think of these deaths as the ones that a state had in a disproportionately high number compared to the national average. The map, Boscoe explained, is a good way to illu...

The Great Imitator—Still Today! A Case of Meningovascular Syphilis Affecting the Posterior Circulation
We describe clinical features and imaging studies of a 50-year-old patient with Parinaud syndrome and a syphilitic dorsal midbrain infarction. Brain magnetic resonance imaging indicated vasculitis of the posterior circulation. The diagnosis of meningovascular syphilis was established by serum and cerebrospinal fluid examinations. Although rare, because of the high impact on treatment, clinicians should always be aware of meningovascular syphilis in the differential diagnosis of stroke, particularly in young and male patients with cryptogenic stroke.
