Article Abstract
Rationale: Priapism is a common urologic emergency, but high-flow penile priapism (HFP) caused by trauma is very rare. Therefore, HFP diagnosis and treatment are still not standardized.
Patient Concerns: A 29-year-old man was admitted to the urology department of our hospital on August 01, 2019, due to "persistent penile erection caused by a straddle injury."
Diagnosis: On July 17, 2019, the patient underwent Doppler ultrasonography, which indicated swollen corpus cavernosum.
Interventions: The patient took over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs but the erectile state of the penis remained unchanged. A second perineal injury resulted in hospital admission. Multimodality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan showed nodular abnormal signals at the right corpus cavernosum root. Subsequently, selective arterial interventional angiography confirmed the MRI findings. Spring coils were then inserted for embolization, and the pseudoaneurysm, fistula, and priapism disappeared.
Outcomes: Two months after surgery, sexual stimuli could normally cause penile erection, with normal hardness. The patient's sexual life returned to normal 3 months after surgery.
Conclusion: Multimodality MRI is very effective in detecting high blood flow priapism. Its application would improve the clinical management of this ailment.

Language learning and use relies on domain-specific, domain-general cognitive and sensory-motor functions. Using fMRI during story listening and behavioral tests, we investigated brain-behavior associations between linguistic and non-linguistic measures in individuals with varied multilingual experience and reading skills, including typical reading participants (TRs) and dyslexic readers (DRs). Partial Least Square Correlation revealed a main component linking cognitive, linguistic, and phonological measures to amodal/associative brain areas.

Aims: Cardiac tumors are aggressive and asymptomatic in early stages, causing late diagnosis and locoregional metastasis. Currently, the standard of care uses gadolinium-based contrast agents for MRI, and the associated hypersensitivity reactions are a significant concern, such as gadolinium deposition disease. In addition, the proximity of cardiac lesions closer to vital structures complicates surgical interventions.

Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is a group of heterogeneous diseases with different pathological mechanisms. It is often under-recognized because of its diverse differential diagnoses like myocarditis, takotsubo cardiomyopathy, spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), coronary microvascular dysfunction, vasospasm, coronary erosion, and embolism. Evaluation with multimodality imaging including intravascular coronary imaging and cardiac magnetic resonance is often necessary to determine the underlying etiology and management.

Background: The hippocampus plays a critical role in psychosis, with reduced volume observed across the psychosis continuum. These structural changes are associated with cognitive deficits, symptom severity, and increased risk of psychosis progression. Elevated hippocampal perfusion and glutamate/GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) imbalance further suggest metabolic dysregulation as a key mechanism.
