We report a case of epicardial ablation in a combined Brugada and inferior early repolarization syndrome patient with recurrent defibrillator therapy for spontaneous ventricular fibrillation. Electroanatomic mapping and ablation were achieved with remote magnetic navigation. Highly fractionated electrograms were seen epicardially in the anterior right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and at the anterior-inferior right ventricle. Ablation of the RVOT region resulted in resolution Brugada pattern electrocardiogram. The inferior early repolarization persisted despite ablation of the inferior right ventricular epicardium. Our patient remained event free at 12-months follow-up.

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.

A 12-month-old female presented with a friable, hemorrhagic papule on the right lateral inferior eyelid, clinically consistent with a pyogenic granuloma. Although pyogenic granulomas are known to bleed, the extent of hemorrhage in this case was unusual and occurred after minor trauma. The patient's father, an emergency medicine resident, injected lidocaine with epinephrine and applied pressure at home to control the bleeding.

Tool use is a complex motor planning problem. Prior research suggests that planning to use tools involves resolving competition between different tool-related action representations. We therefore reasoned that competition may also be exacerbated with tools for which the motions of the tool and the hand are incongruent (e.

Rationale: Brown tumor (osteitis fibrosa cystica) is a benign bone lesion associated with hyperparathyroidism that can affect multiple bones in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Patient Concerns: We present the case of a 32-year-old female with ESRD on maintenance hemodialysis who experienced body aches, muscle weakness, constipation, and mood swings for 3 months.
Diagnoses: Initial tests revealed elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH), serum calcium, and phosphorus levels.

Lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (LA-HLH) is a life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome, and hierarchical management based on a prognostic model is important. The endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX) score has demonstrated prognostic utility in recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplantation and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. However, its role in LA-HLH remains unestablished.
