Article Abstract
Background And Objectives: We evaluated the feasibility of using optical coherence tomography (OCT), to identify microscopic extrathyroidal extension (mETE) in ex vivo thyroidectomy specimens of patients who underwent thyroidectomy for the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
Methods: A total of 170 ex vivo OCT images of the tumor, were acquired just after completion of thyroidectomy in 17 patients. The OCT images of each patient were separately evaluated by two blinded investigators, and the outcomes were compared with the histopathology reports.
Results: The sensitivity and specificity of mETE identification from the OCT images were 81.4% and 86.0%, respectively, for the first investigator, and 82.9% and 87.0%, respectively, for the second investigator. Substantial agreement between the investigators was verified by Cohen's κ (Cohen's κ = 0.772).
Conclusion: In this preliminary study of a limited series of ex vivo thyroidectomy specimens, we verified the feasibility of OCT as a method of identifying mETE in patients with PTC.

Associations of Chronic Insomnia, Longitudinal Cognitive Outcomes, Amyloid-PET, and White Matter Changes in Cognitively Normal Older Adults.

Background And Objectives: The relationship between insomnia and cognitive decline is poorly understood. We investigated associations between chronic insomnia, longitudinal cognitive outcomes, and brain health in older adults.
Methods: From the population-based Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, we identified cognitively unimpaired older adults with or without a diagnosis of chronic insomnia who underwent annual neuropsychological assessments (z-scored global cognitive scores and cognitive status) and had quantified serial imaging outcomes (amyloid-PET burden [centiloid] and white matter hyperintensities from MRI [WMH, % of intracranial volume]).
Spontaneous Thoracic Dural Tear Presenting With Postural Headache: A Case Report.

MetroHealth Medical Center, Cleveland OH.
Background: Incidental dural tear (durotomy) is a known complication of many forms of spinal instrumentation. The majority of durotomy cases are due to a known traumatic force, such as an intentional durotomy during neuraxial anesthesia, or an unintentional tear during lumbar decompression surgery. However, spontaneous dural tears have occasionally been reported.

MediTEDNet: Visual State Space Model for Thyroid Eye Disease Classification.

Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a prevalent autoimmune orbital disorder that can severely impair visual function and significantly diminish patients' quality of life. In recent years, several studies have attempted to automate TED diagnosis using optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. However, existing approaches primarily rely on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) combined with attention mechanisms and are mostly trained using traditional cross-entropy loss.

Intravoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) MRI is a contrast-agent-free microvascular imaging method finding increasing use in biomedicine. However, there is uncertainty in the ability of IVIM-MRI to quantify tissue microvasculature given MRI's limited spatial resolution (mm scale). Nine NRG mice were subcutaneously inoculated with human pancreatic cancer BxPC-3 cells transfected with DsRed, and MR-compatible plastic window chambers were surgically installed in the dorsal skinfold.
