Evercode Single Index PCR v1
Authors: Biosciences Parse , Rebboah Elisabeth
Published: February 2025

This protocol describes the single-index PCR procedure for Parse Biosciences Evercode WT and WT Mega v2 kits. Each subpool is barcoded with a single Illumina index on the 3' end of the cDNA library. This acts as the fourth "round" of cell barcoding and must be included in the final cell ID/barcode in order to ensure unique barcodes across subpools within an experiment. The numerical ID and sequence of the Illumina barcode used for each subpool are recorded in experiment metadata and used downstream for subpool demultiplexing after the sequencing run.
Global Maritime Flows and Local Implications: Conceptualising a Worldwide Taxonomy and Glossary of Port‐City‐Regions
Authors: Akhavan Mina , Van Mil Yvonne , Hein Carola
Published: February 2025

The dynamic interplay between global maritime flows and the spatial, economic, and social development of port‐city‐regions lies at the heart of this thematic issue. As globalisation accelerates, the relationships between ports, cities, and their surrounding regions become increasingly complex, requiring innovative conceptual frameworks, methodologies, and interdisciplinary collaborations to address both challenges and opportunities. Flows of goods and people shape infrastructural networks and create nodes of logistics and administration in and around nearby cities. They establish specific networks that primarily facilitate transport. Multiple approaches and definitions exist to describe and map these unique spaces. This thematic issue of Ocean and Society aims to advance our understanding of these phenomena by exploring a range of terminologies, typologies, spatial transformations, and examples of sustainable practices across diverse geographic contexts.

Authors:   Sumy State University, Sumy, Ukraine, Pravdyuk Vitalii
Published: February 2025

In recent centuries, the number of people living in cities around the world has been graduallyincreasing. UN researchers predict that by 2050, 68 percent of the world’s population will livein cities. The density of construction and new requirements for territorial planning have causedan extraordinary development of social relations related to urban planning. The article analyzesthe criteria for the identification of urban planning law as a separate branch of law. A criticalanalysis of the rigid approach to the division of branches into groups and the criteria to pick outsome particular branch is carried out, it is proven that the only logical criterion to identify somespesific branch of science is the improvement of the process of teaching and conducting scientificresearch. The division of the legal system into separate branches is a convenient methodologicaltool that allows some specific researcher to more clearly define the subject of his own research, structure it and logically combine it with similar studies by other authors. The publicationreasonably argues that the identification of some certain branches as complex ones expands thefield of scientific research and creates a more rational tool for studying the relevant branch oflaw. The author formulates his own scientific position on the nature of urban planning law. Theprevalence of urban planning relations is proven, arguments are given to consider urban planninglaw as a complex legal entity that uses the mechanisms and tools of administrative, land and civillaw. This article is intended for a wide audience of scholars and students interested in issues ofurban law and development. The author believes that urban planning law has its own specialsubject of legal regulation. Urban planning issues are quite widespread. There are special legalinstitutions, there is a qualitative uniqueness (specificity) of the sphere of public relations, thereare specific measures of responsibility.

This paper investigates the application of low-pressure AWJ machining (50 MPa) for milling stainless steel with a controlled depth of cut. The aim is to optimize AWJ process factors to achieve desirable results in industrial applications. Experimental measurements were conducted at a constant water pressure of 50 MPa, varying the cutting head traverse speed, abrasive mass flow rate, and the number of passes to evaluate their impact on material removal efficiency. The study emphasizes material removal from the surface, surface evaluation, and potential for industrial application. The findings contribute to bridging the research gap regarding the optimization of AWJ parameters for stainless steel milling applications.
ON OCCUPANT IDENTIFICATION AND RELATED CRASH OUTCOME IN OUT OF POSITION CONDITIONS
Authors:   Enzo Ferrari Department of Engineering , University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, VERGNANO ALBERTO , KOVANDA JAN ,   Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of West Bohemia
Published: February 2025

The methodology for crash tests in vehicle development and homologation is based on dummies sitting in a standardized posture, defined by the H-point of the car body and design specifications. As a result, injury criteria are directly influenced by these precisely defined initial conditions. Out-of-Position scenarios are not included in passive safety tests but are usually analysed conventionally through specialized experiments. The combination of crash dynamics and improper airbag deployment can increase the forces exerted on the body. While airbags have saved numerous lives, statistics also report injuries and fatalities caused by improper contact with deploying airbags. This study examines strategies to make the Airbag Control Unit effectively adaptive to an occupant position. Pre-crash scenarios are identified using sensors in the vehicle seat and the corresponding outcomes are simulated. The research highlights the importance of a thorough examination of crash circumstances, process and outcomes to improve safety in intelligent vehicles.

This study presents a hybrid framework combining Genetic Programming (GP) and Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) to enhance the performance of rotary drying systems. The methodology employs Box Behnken Design (BBD) to investigate the effects of critical process parameters—drying temperature, time, and airflow rate—on moisture ratio (MR). GP is utilized to develop predictive models that capture nonlinear interactions among variables, whereas GWO optimizes the parameters to achieve the desired MR. The proposed GP-GWO framework demonstrates superior predictive accuracy and optimization efficiency compared to traditional methods. It achieves a 1.5% improvement in moisture ratio (MR) optimization over El-Mesery et al.'s model. Experimental validation highlights the framework's ability to minimize moisture ratio while maximizing energy efficiency.

Laminated composite plates and shells are widely used in aerospace, marine, and automotive industries. Their structural response can be tuned by modifying the stacking sequence, but accurate modelling requires computationally expensive finite element (FE) analysis. This study develops machine learning-based predictive models as surrogates for FE analysis to predict the first natural frequency of laminated composites. Two problems are considered, a 2-variable low-dimensional (LD) problem and a 16-variable high-dimensional (HD) problem. Six machine learning models were trained and evaluated. For the LD problem, support vector regression (SVR) performed best (R² = 0.9972, MSE = 0.0097). For the HD problem, Gaussian process regression (GPR) outperformed others (R² = 1.000, MSE ≪ 0.0001), effectively handling complex nonlinearities. The results highlight SVR’s suitability for simpler cases and GPR’s superior predictive accuracy for high-dimensional design spaces.

Resistance welding is widely used in manufacturing due to its efficiency in joining similar and dissimilar materials. This study investigates the resistance welding of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites using stainless steel mesh as a heating element. The effects of welding parameters—current, pressure, and time—on lap shear strength and heat generation are analyzed using Taguchi’s orthogonal array and ANOVA. Multi-response optimization is performed using the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). Microstructural analysis reveals interfacial and interlaminar failure modes, with higher heat input enhancing weld strength. Results indicate that increasing current and welding time improves both responses, while welding pressure has a varying influence. TOPSIS optimization identifies an optimal parameter combination maximizing lap shear strength and heat generation.

This method layers material as weld beads to build 3D structures. Key characteristics analyzed include bead width, bead height, penetration depth, porosity, and costs related to shielding gas flow rates. Using the Taguchi method with an L27 orthogonal array, the study optimized experimental designs while reducing trial numbers. Grey relational analysis enabled the simultaneous evaluation of multiple parameters. Optimization was conducted for individual responses and through multi-objective analysis to determine the significance of parameters for each characteristic. The findings enhance understanding of the WAAM-MIG process and its application in manufacturing components with precise geometric characteristics, supporting advancements in additive manufacturing.
Navigating medications: a prospective study on drug use in rheumatoid arthritis management
Authors: Kumar Ashok , Khan Mohammad Nadeem
Published: February 2025

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease-causing joint inflammation, pain, and potential joint damage. Effective management requires a combination of pharmacologic treatments to reduce disease activity and improve patient outcomes.
Methods: This prospective study investigated drug utilization patterns, medication adherence, and their impact on RA management. Data were collected over one year from 510 RA patients visiting the orthopaedic department at Raichur Institute of Medical Sciences. Demographic details, clinical characteristics, medication regimens, adherence levels, and adverse drug reactions were recorded.
Results: Female patients, primarily aged 51-65 years, were predominantly affected by RA. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were the most commonly prescribed medications, with oral administration being preferred. Family history and older age were significant risk factors. Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), especially in combination, were preferred for managing RA. NSAID usage led to adverse effects like gastric discomfort, underscoring the need for careful monitoring.
Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of early detection, personalized treatment strategies, and the need for further research into novel therapies. It offers valuable insights into drug utilization and medication adherence, with implications for improving RA management and patient outcomes.

Authors: Selvam Sindhu , Srinivasan Shakthi Priyan , Krishnamoorthy Deena , Baskar Sowmiya , Mohudeen Saddick , Panneer Abinaya Jayakrishnan
Published: February 2025

Background: Self-medication, which is when the public treats health problems on their own without consulting a doctor, is very common. The objective of this study is to analyze pharmacy students' self-medication practices, attitudes, and knowledge in a tertiary care hospital.
Methods: Data will be collected from the B. Pharmacy, M. Pharmacy and Pharm. D with their consent by request to them to complete the questionnaire (self-administrated).
Results: A total of 339 responses from participants were prospectively collected and documented. The participant characteristics such as demographic information (age, gender, and education) was collected.
Conclusions: Insufficient understanding regarding appropriate self-medication exists, yet changes can be made in this situation with the existing positive attitude of the respondents. Seminars and workshops can be utilised to effectively distribute knowledge to students, while implementing robust policies to curb the increasing trend.
An observational comparative study on the immediate, deferred, and no use of antiepileptics in the management of seizure
Authors: Shrestha Himangi , Krishnan Athira , Ramaiah Balakeshwa
Published: February 2025

Background: The rationale for starting AEDs in patients with seizure and early epilepsy is still unclear. The decision to start and stop the drugs in patients with single seizures remains controversial. This study aims to compare the efficacy, safety, and short-term outcome of the immediate, deferred, and no use of AEDs in patients presenting with seizure.
Methods   This observational study, included 87 patients with either gender or age group with first or multiple seizures to investigate immediate, deferred, or no AED use. Detailed demographics, history, and diagnostic test reports were recorded. Drug use patterns and outcomes of seizure recurrence and safety were evaluated.
Results: Out of 87 patients (56 male, 31 female), there were 26 paediatrics, 47 adults, and 15 elderly. Immediate AED treatment was given to 75%, 16% deferred, and 9% received no/SOS AED. Levetiracetam was commonly prescribed (78% in ED, 86% in wards, 63% at discharge). For immediate AEDs: 49% had good seizure control, 25% had recurrence, and 9% had breakthrough seizures. Deferred AEDs showed 36% good control/recurrence and 7% breakthrough. Without AEDs: 63% had good control and 25% had recurrence. AEs were higher in the immediate AED group (42%) vs. deferred (15%).
Conclusions: The study indicates that immediate use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) reduces short-term seizure recurrence but may increase adverse effects. In cases of reversible causes, it may be best to forgo AEDs. Decisions regarding AED therapy should be tailored to the patient's preferences and risk considerations.
Comparison of safety and efficacy of pantoprazole alone with pantoprazole plus amitriptyline in functional dyspepsia patients: a randomized control trial
Authors: Kumari Neelam , Sood Atal , Gupta Swatantara , Swaraj Sushma
Published: February 2025

Background: The term functional dyspepsia refers to ulcer-like symptoms in patients who lack overt gastro duodenal ulceration. Functional dyspepsia can be subdivided into: postprandial distress syndrome (PDS), epigastric pain syndrome (EPS), and based on the presence of symptoms related to meals. It is defined as the presence of one or more of the following: postprandial fullness, early satiation, epigastric pain or burning, and no evidence of structural disease. Pantoprazole alone is compared with pantoprazole plus amitriptyline to relieve dyspepsia symptoms in functional dyspepsia patients.
Methods: The study was a randomized, prospective, open label, comparative interventional study. The study was conducted in the Department of Pharmacology and Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Dr. R.P.G.M.C. Kangra at Tanda Himachal Pradesh, India which is 700 bedded multispecialty tertiary health care from August 2023 to May 2024 and follow -up was done for 4 weeks after initiation of treatment, to compare the safety and efficacy of pantoprazole with pantoprazole plus amitriptyline in functional dyspepsia patients.
Results: In our study compared to pantoprazole group, pantoprazole plus amitriptyline group has statistically significant reduction in all the 3 scores viz. Glasgow dyspepsia severity score (GDSS) (4.26±1.14 versus 3.3±1.37, p=0.002), short form leads dyspepsia questionnaire (SF-LDQ) (4 [3-5] versus 3 [2-4], p=0.005), and visual analogue pain score (VAS) (1 [1-2] versus 1 [0-1], p=0.0009).
Conclusions: The combination of pantoprazole and amitriptyline was more effective than pantoprazole alone in improving symptoms of functional dyspepsia, with no significant safety concerns.
Ischemic priapism induced by a fixed drug combination of tamsulosin and tadalafil
Authors: Leonson Libin Sanjeev , Dixit Vimal , Chaudhury Annwesha , Jain Ayush , Dwivedi Shikha
Published: February 2025

Priapism, a persistent erection lasting more than 4 hours, can be caused by various factors, including medications. This case report presents a 23-year-old male who developed ischemic priapism after taking tablet Contiflo-T, a combination of tamsulosin and tadalafil. The patient required multiple interventions, including aspiration and intracavernosal phenylephrine injections, to resolve the condition. The combination of these drugs, which are commonly used for urinary tract symptoms and erectile dysfunction, likely contributed to the priapism by increasing blood flow to the penis and preventing its return to a flaccid state. This case highlights the potential for adverse drug interactions and the importance of careful monitoring when prescribing medications for these conditions.

Published: February 2025

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using the peroneus longus tendon (PLT) graft is emerging as a viable alternative to traditional autografts, offering comparable strength and reduced donor site morbidity. This study evaluates the functional outcomes and complications of ACL reconstruction using this PLT graft.
Methods: A hospital-based prospective study was conducted on 50 patients with isolated ACL tears. Outcomes, including Lysholm, IKDC, Tegner activity, and modified Cincinnati scores, were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively at 6 and 12 months. Visual analog scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM), and complications were also recorded. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05.
Results: Significant improvements were observed in Lysholm (46.2±10.3 to 89.4±6.7), IKDC (38.1±9.7 to 85.2±5.9), and modified Cincinnati (37.5±8.2 to 85.3±5.1) scores (p<0.001). ROM increased from 115°±15° to 140°±5°, and pain (VAS) decreased from 7.4±1.2 to 1.5±0.7. Complications were minimal, with a 2% graft failure rate and mild donor site morbidity.
Conclusions: ACL reconstruction with the peroneus longus graft provides excellent functional outcomes and minimal complications, making it a reliable alternative to conventional autografts.
The enigma of xanthogranulomatous osteomyelitis: report of a rare case with review of literature
Authors: Gupta Arushi , Ahmad Nehal , Khan Sabina , Mohroo Rubeena , Kataria Aneesha
Published: February 2025

Xanthogranulomatous osteomyelitis (XO) is a rare chronic inflammatory condition histopathologically characterized by foamy macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells and fibrosis. It primarily affects organs like gallbladder and kidney but rarely involves bone. To date, only 21 cases of bone XO have been documented. XO mimics neoplastic bone lesions, creating diagnostic challenges necessitating a comprehensive approach that includes a thorough clinical history, detailed radiographic evaluation and definitive histopathologic examination. Hereby, we report a rare case of 25-year-old male presenting with pain, swelling and fever in the left forearm. Imaging revealed features suggestive of osteomyelitis and histopathological examination showed sheets of foamy macrophages, chronic inflammatory cells and fibrosis, thus clinching the diagnosis of XO. Through the case report we wish to highlight the importance of considering XO in the differential diagnosis of bone lesions so to avoid misdiagnosis of malignancy.

Published: February 2025

No estado da arte existem sistemas para transferência de ativos intangíveis protegidos por Propriedade Intelectual, consolidados por monopólios jurídicos, seja por sistemas atributivos (como para patentes e desenhos industriais) ou automaticamente protegidos  (como direitos autorais e conexos). Alguns desses sistemas, ou seus respectivos métodos, são descritos na literatura científica. Deste   conjunto, alguns métodos utilizam a tecnologia de blockchain, e um conjunto menor (inteiramente contido no anterior) também  utiliza  a tecnologia de smart contracts, embora sejam ferramentas independentes entre si. Apesar de os segredos industriais também   consistirem em monopólios, as soluções informatizadas ou em ambientes criptográficos aplicadas para outros tipos de bens protegidos por outras formas de propriedade intelectual não podem ser transpostas a esses ativos, em razão de sua natureza  sui generis, carente de monopólio que independa de sua não revelação. A necessidade de manutenção do segredo decorre do Paradoxo  da Informação de Arrow, fenômeno pelo qual a revelação do segredo implica sua transferência. Esse fenômeno prejudica a potencial  transferência de segredos industriais e inviabiliza a adoção dos sistemas existentes aplicáveis aos demais tipos de ativos intangíveis. A  investigação utilizou a metodologia mista. Este trabalho apresenta um método para transferência de segredos industriais  utilizando-se smart contracts instanciados em blockchain para solução de dois dos três elementos componentes do Paradoxo,  especificamente a confiabilidade e a capacidade, pressupondo o terceiro, a relevância.

En el estado de la técnica existen sistemas para la transferencia de activos intangibles protegidos por Propiedad Intelectual, consolidados por monopolios legales, ya sea mediante sistemas atributivos (como en el caso de las patentes y los diseños industriales) o protegidos automáticamente (como los derechos de autor y afines). Algunos de estos sistemas, o sus respectivos métodos, están descritos en la literatura científica. De este conjunto, algunos métodos utilizan la tecnología de cadena de bloques (blockchain),y un conjunto más pequeño de estos métodos (íntegramente contenido en el anterior) también utiliza la tecnología de contrato inteligente (smart constracts),si bien se trata de herramientas independientes. Aunque los secretos industriales también consisten en monopolios, las soluciones informatizadas o los entornos criptográficos aplicados a otros tipos de bienes protegidos por otras formas de propiedad intelectual no pueden transponerse a estos activos, debido a su naturaleza sui géneris, al carecer de un monopolio que no dependa de su no divulgación. La necesidad de mantener el secreto se deriva de la paradoja de la información de Arrow, un fenómeno por el cual la divulgación del secreto implica su transferencia.Este fenómeno perjudica la posible transferencia de secretos industriales y hace inviable la adopción de los sistemas existentes aplicables a otros tipos de activos intangibles. La investigación utilizó una metodología mixta.Este documento presenta un método para transferir secretos industriales utilizando contratos inteligentes instanciados en una cadena de bloques para resolver dos de los tres componentes de la paradoja, específicamente la confiabilidad y la capacidad, presuponiendo el tercero, la relevancia.

of effective territorially-oriented solutions. The article analyzes the issues of optimizing the placement of SMWcollection and processing facilities
using the example of Balashovsky district of the Saratov region. The main focus is on using linear programming methods and geoinformation
modeling to select optimal locations for waste processing plants. The application of GIS technologies and spatial analysis methods allowed for
zoning of the territory and assessment of environmental risks. An optimal scheme for the placement of SMW collection and processing facilities
for Balashovsky district of the Saratov region has been developed. The proposed scheme minimizes waste transportation costs and maximizes
processing efficiency, contributing to the creation of a more sustainable and economically viable waste management system in the region.

The article considers the influence of knowledge spillovers as a factor of innovative development on the efficiency and intensity of
agricultural production in the regions of Russia. The territorial distribution of agricultural patents and references to them in the regions of the
country was analyzed, which is one of the methods for identifying knowledge spillovers. Based on this, a typology of Russian regions was carried
out on innovative functions of agriculture and the level of creativity. Four types of regions were identified: creative, acceptor-creative, acceptor
and innovative peripheries. For each type, indicators of patent activity, level of innovative development, per capita production, efficiency and
intensity of agricultural production were analyzed. It was revealed that the most efficient agriculture is typical for regions of the creative type,
which indicates a significant influence of innovative factors on the modern development of agriculture. The efficiency of agricultural production
naturally decreases in acceptor regions and innovative periphery. The presence of higher education institutions and scientific organizations of an agrarian profile has a significant impact on the innovative development of agriculture in the regions of the country. At the same time, scientific
and technological factors are currently not leading in the development of the agricultural sector, which opens up great opportunities for further
improvement of the technology and efficiency of agriculture.

Background: Multiple sclerosis, as one of the most important causes of disability in the world, can cause a feeling of despair in a person to be compassionate and follow his treatment, so it is important to use self-compassion methods for these patients. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of the educational program on treatment compliance and self-compassion of patients with multiple sclerosis.
Methods: In the current clinical trial study, 80 patients with multiple sclerosis, members of the MS Association of Zahedan city in 2023-2024, were selected by the available method and randomly divided into two groups of 40 people, intervention and control. 8 sessions of face-to-face educational program were designed and implemented for patients, and the rate of application of the programs by patients was followed up under the supervision of the researcher. Before, one month and 3 months after the implementation of the intervention, patients' adherence to treatment was measured using the "Treatment Adherence in Chronic Patients" questionnaire and self-compassion was measured using the "Multiple Sclerosis Patient Self-Compassion Assessment Questionnaire". The data were analyzed using statistical tests of repeated measures, Chi-Square under SPSS 21 statistical software at a significance level of less than 0.05.
Results: The average age of the intervention group was 40.05 ± 9.61 years and in the control group was 40.13 ± 8.78 years, and according to the findings, before the intervention, there was a statistically significant difference between the variables of gender, age, education level, marital status in Two intervention and control groups were not observed. The results of the independent t-test show a statistically significant difference between the average changes in the total score of adherence to treatment and the average total score of self-compassion after the intervention (P=0.000).
Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that the present educational program can increase self-compassion and adherence to treatment in patients with multiple sclerosis, so it is necessary to take advantage of it in rehabilitation programs to promote or improve the mental and psychological conditions of patients.

Background: Preoperative anxiety is a prevalent and potentially detrimental factor in the perioperative experience, affecting both patients and the healthcare team. This study aimed to investigate and compare the impact of multimedia and face-to-face education modalities on preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 1403 in 98 CABG surgery patients. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups: multimedia and face-to-face. The multimedia group received education through an educational film, while the face-to-face group underwent traditional in-person instruction. Preoperative anxiety was assessed at three time points: before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and one hour before surgery. The Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Needs Scale (APAIS) was used to measure anxiety levels.
Results: Regarding anxiety scores, no significant correlation was found between the two groups at any of the three time points examined (p > 0.05). Both groups experienced a decrease in average anxiety scores following education.
Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate that the implementation of theses educational methods, can effectively reduce preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing CABG surgery. By mitigating anxiety, these interventions can enhance patient cooperation with the treatment team, ultimately leading to improved treatment outcomes. Therefore, the utilization of educational strategies is strongly recommended to alleviate preoperative anxiety levels in this patient population

Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH) is a rarepulmonary disorder characterized by hyperplasia of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells.It is frequently asymptomatic and can be challenging to differentiate from other formsof reactive pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (NECH). Presented is a casereport of DIPNECH along with a review of the diagnosis and management. A 50-year-oldfemale patient with a history of airway disease presented to the pulmonary ward withcomplaints of Functional Class III dyspnea and productive cough. The HRCT revealedthe presence of multiple bilateral nodules in both lungs. The histopathology reportfrom the nodule resection confirmed the presence of a carcinoid tumor, specificallyidentified as DIPNECH. As many similar cases have favorable treatment responses andsatisfactory prognoses due to multidisciplinary treatment methods, the necessity ofevidence-based management guidelines for DIPNECH and the accuracy of the diseasedefinition is emphasized.

As a rare subtype of delusional misidentification syndromes (DMSs), Fregoli Delusioninvolves the belief that two or more individuals are actually the same persondisguised as another. In this case report, a 23-year-old male presents with FregoliDelusion, self-inflicted harm, and a history of being kidnapped and abused. While thepatient had abstained from alcohol and drugs for two years, neuroimaging revealednon-specific developmental anomalies, adding to the complexity of the clinicalsituation. Diagnoses and treatments are complicated by the coexistence of psychoticsymptoms, mood dysregulation, and complex delusional constructs. A combinationof antipsychotic medication and cognitive behavioural therapy is more effective intreating schizophrenic patients. It is important to closely monitor this patient due totheir history of non-adherence to their treatment plan and drug abuse. As a result ofthis situation, trauma-focused care and personalized interventions are necessary, aswell as additional research to enhance the treatment of Fregoli Delusions resultingfrom this situation.

Top of the Basilar Syndrome (TOBS) is a rare neurological condition caused by occlusionof the distal basilar artery, often resulting in significant morbidity. TOBS is particularlychallenging to diagnose in younger patients with atypical risk factors. A 34-year-old man presented with vertigo following strenuous exercise. Initial misdiagnosesdelayed treatment, and subsequent imaging revealed left vertebral artery dissectionand basilar artery occlusion. Endovascular thrombectomy performed 41 hours and45 minutes after symptom onset achieved a Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction(TICI) score of 2B. Despite complications, including hydrocephalus and pneumonia,multidisciplinary management led to significant recovery, with the patient’s modifiedRankin Scale (mRS) score improving from 4 at discharge to 1 at one year. This caseunderscores the importance of clinical vigilance, advanced imaging, and endovascularthrombectomy in managing TOBS. Even with delayed intervention, multidisciplinarycare can facilitate favorable outcomes in young patients with rare presentations.
