Background:
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is defined as the formation of a blood clot within the cerebral venous drainage system. Its incidence is approximately 11.6 cases per 1 million population, and it occurs about twice as often in women as in men. Mortality and disability are reported in 20–25% of patients. Headache is the most common presenting symptom; therefore, differential diagnosis based on pain intensity, location, and clinical examination is essential.
Case presentation:
In this case, early diagnosis was established using MR venography, and timely, appropriate treatment led to successful dissolution of a thrombus in the sagittal sinus, preventing potential complications and long-term disability. Treatment included high-dose unfractionated and low-molecular-weight heparin administered parenterally, resulting in symptom relief, reduced headache intensity, and improvement in orientation and self-care ability. Prolongation of aPTT seconds indicated a favorable therapeutic response. Subsequently, the patient was transitioned to oral anticoagulant therapy with rivaroxaban (Xarelto) 20 mg. To improve the diagnosis of CVST, the implementation of MR venography and CT venography is recommended in Darkhan-Uul province.
Conclusion
This is the first case of CVST diagnosed in Darkhan-Uul province, suggesting that further cases may occur. Because headache is the most common presenting symptom, differential diagnosis based on its intensity, character and clinical examination is essential. Early diagnosis with MR venography and timely anticoagulation resulted in recanalization of the superior sagittal sinus and prevented complications and disability. MR and CT venography should be introduced for the diagnosis of CVST in Darkhan-Uul province.

Background:
In 2011-2020, WHO approved the Global Strategy for Traditional Medicine. The strategy states that "The
trend of using traditional medicine and alternative medicine as a source and resource for health care is
expanding worldwide."
In this regard, it is important to develop a policy and methodology to develop a proper combination of traditional and modern medicine. Also, there are demands to study and solve the problems of ensuring the safe, effective, quality, availability, and appropriate use of medicines and treatments.
Purpose:
Finding traditional medicinal recipes containing the herb Veronica incana L from the ancient Mongolian
medical books written by famous Mongolian scientists Jambalchoizhidanzanperenlei, Luvsandorj, and
Jigmeddanzanjamts.
Research materials and methods:
1. Research materials: Jambalchoijidanzanperenlei. gso rig bstan bcos mtha' dag gi snying po rnams phyogs gcig tu bsdus pa man ngag rin chen 'byung gnas bzhugs so.

2. Research methods: Methods of textual analysis for ancient books and checklist methods were used in the study.
Conclusion
Medicinal recipes containing the herb Veronica Incana L were sampled from the ancient medical books surveyed. There are 6 recipes in the book of Jambalchojidanzanperenlei, 3 recipes in the book of Luvsandorj, and 2 in the book of Jigmeddanzanjamts, a total of 11 ingredients. In general, these ancient medical books had a significant impact on the development of traditional Mongolian medicinal prescriptions. Therefore, even today, these works are still important in the theory of pharmaceutical composition and the practice of drug therapy.

Background:
During the historical development of traditional medicine, many books and manuscripts have been written in Mongolian medicine. The main textbook of traditional medicine states that: “The size of a bone consists of 23 bone species, 28 spinal joints, 24 ribs, 32 teeth, and 360 pieces of bone.”
However, modern medicine estimates that the human body has 206 bones. Therefore, this topic was chosen to study the source material of traditional medicine, including the structure of the human body, and the number of bones in the modern medical anatomy textbook.
Purpose:
Details of the number of bones in the human body in the “Four Medical Tantras”
(རྒྱུད་བཞི) of traditional medicine and its commentary, as well as compare with the number of bones in the basic textbook of anatomy of modern medicine.
Objectives:
In order to successfully implement the research objectives, the following objectives will be implemented. These include:
1. Sampling and analyzing number of bones from traditional medicine;
2. Sampling and analyzing bone numbers from modern medical textbooks;
3. Compare the names and numbers of bones in traditional medicine and modern medicine
Results:
The number, classification and features of human bones were analyzed from the main scriptures of traditional medicine such as “Explanatory Tantra”, of the “Four Medical Tantras” and the “Legs bshad gser gyi thur ma” by Blo-bzang-chos-grags. In addition, the number of bones in the human body was sampled from modern medical textbooks and prepared for comparison. The number and characteristics of bones in the human body were compared by traditional medicine and modern medicine and made a conclusion.
This study reveals that the foundations for the integrated development of traditional medicine were laid long ago in Mongolian medicine. In addition, to highlight the book “Four Medical Tantras”, which is the basis of the textbook on the structure of the human body and the research work of scientists and scholars, which is considered in Mongolian mamba datsan’s contribution to the science of human anatomy. The importance of this research is to change the extremes of Western medicine and traditional medicine and increase opportunities to use its introduction and development into training and clinical practice.
Conclusion
1. The main creature of body structure in traditional medicine is the “Four Medical Tantras” which generally assumes that the numbers of bones are 360 but does not specify it in detail. During the research, we identified 357 bone names to identify each bone. The names and locations of the three bones were not clearly marked in the medical sources.
2. The numbers of bones are 206 in modern medical textbooks. We recalculated 151 bones based on traditional medical sources without duplication of that.
3. Compared to traditional medicine and modern medicine, the number of bones and are higher than 154 bone names in traditional medicine because we included the number of teeth, small bones in the ears and small bones in the fingers and toes. Some cartilage was also counted as bones.
