Unlabelled: Arai N, Yoshimura M, Yamamoto S, Abe H, Hanayama K. Effectiveness of simple body image evaluation and manipulation for chronic pain: A case report. Jpn J Compr Rehabil Sci 2021; 12: 15-18.
Introduction: We report a case in which chronic pain was successfully relieved using a new simple body image evaluation and body image manipulation based on the evaluation results.
Case: The patient, a man in his 60s, accidentally sustained a left ulnar trunk fracture and left hand degloving injury at work. Occupational therapy for approximately 2 years could not completely relieve pain in the ring finger (allodynia), causing difficulty in changing clothes and driving a car. Images of the left and right ring fingers were compared and manipulated using bandages to make the two images similar. Allodynia was reduced (visual analog scale 10 cm → 3.6 cm), and the ability to change clothes and drive a car improved.
Discussion: The bandage presumably changed the tactile and visual information inputs of size, weight, length, thickness, and thickness and reconstructed the perceptual-motor loop.

Eating disorders are primarily associated with women and an obsession with thinness. Recent research and social media content show that men are also concerned about their body image, striving for a muscular and athletic physique. To investigate eating disorder tendencies among male content creators with a mesomorphic body type (N = 26), a social media analysis was conducted on Instagram and TikTok over four weeks.

Background: Fetal MRI is increasingly used to investigate fetal lung pathologies, and super-resolution (SR) algorithms could be a powerful clinical tool for this assessment. Our goal was to investigate whether SR reconstructions result in an improved agreement in lung volume measurements determined by different raters, also known as inter-rater reliability.
Materials And Methods: In this single-center retrospective study, fetal lung volumes calculated from both SR reconstructions and the original images were analyzed.

Purpose: In children with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH), FDG-PET/CT is used for staging and response assessment. Whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) can serve as an ionizing radiation-free alternative for repeated whole-body imaging. The aim of this study was to compare WB-MRI with FDG-PET/CT for staging and response assessment in pediatric LCH.

Objective: Our study aimed to compare premenopausal and postmenopausal women in terms of choroidal thickness and choroidal vascularity index.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 96 eyes of 96 participants, comprising 48 premenopausal and 48 postmenopausal women. Enhanced depth image optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) was used to visualize the choroid.

Purpose: Cardiac noradrenergic denervation visualized by meta-[I]iodobenzylguanidine ([I]MIBG) imaging supports the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Recently, meta-[F] fluorobenzylguanidine ([F]MFBG) PET demonstrated favorable imaging characteristics compared with [I]MIBG scintigraphy for neuroendocrine tumors. We assessed [F]MFBG dosimetry and myocardial pharmacokinetics in healthy controls and PD patients.
