Abstract

Broca's aphasia is a type of aphasia named after the French surgeon Broca. Broca's aphasic patients experienced difficulty in speaking, but they could understand both spoken and written language. There were three essential patients in the historical development of the study of Broca's aphasia. Louis Victor Leborgne (1809–1861) was also known as Monsieur Leborgne or 'Tan' as he could only utter the syllable 'Tan' throughout his 21 years of illness. The second patient was called Lazare Lelong. His language ability was slightly better than Leborgne. He could utter simple syllables, such as oui (yes), non (no), and this (trois or three). The third patient was Gage, a railway company worker. Broca studied similar cases in the following years and planned a brain function localization theory.

Abstract

Duplicated middle cerebral artery (DMCA) is an anomalous vessel arises from the internal carotid artery (ICA). This anatomical variation is rare. Aneurysm with this anatomical variation and unusual form was very rare. Even though this kind of aneurysm is rare, it was often ruptured. In this paper, we report a case of  40-years old female with abrupt decreased of consciousness as a chief complaint, along with severe headache one day earlier, no history of head trauma, and there was nuchal rigidity. She didn’t had history of hypertension before. Head computed tomography showed subarachnoid hemmorrhage (SAH) mostly on the left sylvian fissure with Hunt and Hess scale was 3 and Fisher scale was 2, while the cerebral angiography showed duplication of the left middle cerebral artery in which the inferior part of the MCA duplication has ruptured aneurysm at the origin. Treatment option for this aneurysm is endovascular coiling with preserved of the inferior part of duplicated MCA. Result of this treatment shows a good outcome.

Abstract

Background: Vascular dementia is a cognitive decline with functional deterioration caused by cerebrovascular disease. It is the second leading cause of dementia. A number of screening questionnaires and models have been developed to help in assessing cognitive function and activity daily living (ADL) in patients with dementia. Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Clock Drawing Test (CDT) and Barthel Index are instruments to evaluate cognitive function and ADL of vascular dementia patients. Objective: To determine the role of achetylcholine-esterase inhibitor therapy on cognitive function and ADL in patients with vascular dementia in Saiful Anwar General Hospital.Methods: This study is an analytical study assessing the improvement of cognitive function and ADL of patients with vascular dementia after administration of acethylcholine-esterase inhibitor by assessing the MMSE, CDT and Barthel Index scoring in 1, 3, 6 and 12 month period consecutively.Results: From 15 study subjects, individuals who have been given treatment for 12 months consecutively have the highest increase in MMSE and CDT whilst for Barthel Index has shown highest improvement in one month period.Conclusion: The administration of acetylcholine-esterase inhibitor drugs has the potential to improve and maintain cognitive function and improve ADL. The limited number of study subjects and the many confounding factors that we did not evaluate were the drawbacks of this study. The results of this study cannot be generalized to all patients with vascular dementia and only apply to 15 patients who were the subjects of this study.

Abstract

Industrial revolution 4.0 has changed the health industry. Medical treatments derived from the latest technologies are expected to improve health and economic status. The rapid development of technology has influenced the learning and clinical practice of medicine. Virtual Reality (VR) is one of the latest technologies that is currently being implemented as a treatment for neurological disorders. This article seeks to give an overview of the development of VR implementation in neurorehabilitation. The data source of this article is research and studies published in NCBI, PubMed, Cochrane, and other relevant online databases. From this article, it is found that VR can be used as a pain reliever and motor function rehabilitation for patients with balance and gait deficits. VR is used to distract patients’ attention to pain for a short time period. VR also improves motor function recovery in stroke patients. Cybersickness is usually reported as a side effect of using VR and it depends on each individual. The implementation of VR for patients with neurological disorders has showed advantages in reducing pain and improving motor function but still need further research about applicability and authorization of virtual reality in the world of medicine.
