MRI Assessment of Radiation-Induced Delayed-Onset Microstructural Gray Matter Changes in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients.

J Magn Reson Imaging

September 2025

School of Biomedical Engineering, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Medical Image Processing and Guangdong Province Engineering Laboratory for Medical Imaging and Diagnostic Technology, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.

Background: The dynamic progression of gray matter (GM) microstructural alterations following radiotherapy (RT) in patients, and the relationship between these microstructural abnormalities and cortical morphometric changes remains unclear.

Purpose: To longitudinally characterize RT-related GM microstructural changes and assess their potential causal links with classic morphometric alterations in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

Study Type: Prospective, longitudinal.

Unlabelled: Aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency, particularly Stanford type A, which typically necessitates urgent surgical intervention. Despite advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care, preoperative bleeding and coagulopathy remain significant challenges. Tranexamic acid, an antifibrinolytic agent, is widely used to minimize perioperative bleeding in cardiovascular surgeries; however, its role in the non-surgical, preoperative stabilization of aortic dissection has not been well established.

Acute vestibular syndrome (AVS) is characterized by the sudden onset of dizziness or vertigo, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, gait instability, and nystagmus, lasting for more than 24 hours and often persisting for several days to weeks. Central AVS primarily involves central vestibular structures, such as the brainstem and cerebellum, and is most commonly caused by ischemic stroke in the posterior circulation. When acute posterior circulation infarction presents solely with isolated dizziness or vertigo, without other symptoms of central nervous system damage, it is often misdiagnosed as a peripheral vestibular disorder, this can lead to serious consequences.

Introduction: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) encephalitis is a neuropsychiatric disorder with additional psychiatric features caused by NMDA-R immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This report presents the follow-up of a patient in whom we assumed mild NMDA-R encephalitis in the first psychotic episode.

Case Study: A patient with a prior episode of an acute polymorphic psychotic syndrome relapsed five and a half years later following a severe COVID-19 infection.
