Article Abstract
Introduction: We disclosed amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) results in individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and studied patient experiences and outcomes over a 6-month period.
Methods: Fifty-seven participants from the Subjective Cognitive Impairment Cohort (SCIENCe) (66 ± 8 years, 21 [37%] F, Mini-Mental State Examination 29 ± 1, 15 [26%] amyloid positive [A+]) completed questionnaires 1 week prior (T0), 1 day after (T1), and 6 months after amyloid PET disclosure (T2). Questionnaires addressed patient-reported experiences and outcomes.
Results: Independent of amyloid status, participants were satisfied with the consultation (scale 1-10; 7.9 ± 1.7) and information provided (scale 1-4; T1: 3.3 ± 0.9, T2: 3.2 ± 0.8). After 6 months, A+ participants reported more information needs (45% vs. 12%, p = 0.02). Independent of amyloid status, decision regret (scale 1-5; A+: 1.5 ± 0.9, A-: 1.4 ± 0.6, p = 0.53) and negative emotions (negative affect, uncertainty, anxiety) were low (all p > 0.15 and P> 0.60).
Discussion: Participants with SCD valued amyloid PET disclosure positively, regardless of amyloid status. The need for information after 6 months, which was stronger in A+ individuals, underscores the importance of follow-up.
Highlights: Participants with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) positively valued amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) disclosure. Participants with SCD experienced low levels of decision regret. We did not observe an increase in negative emotions. After 6 months, amyloid-positive individuals wanted more information.

Hibernomas are infrequent brown adipose tissue tumors that can mimic various other soft tissue tumors, both malignant and benign, and multiple imaging modalities are usually used in the diagnostic approach. We present the case of a 30-year-old female patient who was initially diagnosed with a mediastinal hibernoma through complete excisional biopsy in 2022 and underwent surgical resection at that time. She required a second surgical intervention in 2024 due to recurrence and is now being evaluated for a second recurrence using fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT), reporting an extensive polylobulated mediastinal tumor intercalating normometabolic and discretely hypermetabolic zones.

Endometrial adenocarcinoma frequently metastasizes to distant organs, with the lungs being a common site. Pulmonary metastases typically present as multiple nodules. However, solitary lesions are uncommon and may offer surgical opportunities.

Background And Objective: Excessive exposure to manganese (Mn) produces a clinical syndrome of parkinsonism and cognitive impairment. However, our understanding of the mechanisms of Mn neurotoxicity remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the relationships between Mn exposure, cholinergic function, and cognitive impairment in exposed workers.

Objective: A subset of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) experience early relapse despite the absence of any high-risk features at diagnosis, defined as functional high-risk (FHR) MM with inferior prognosis. This study compared FHR and standard risk (SR) MM cohorts to investigate clinical risk factors and establish a validated prognostic model for early prediction of FHR in patients with MM that were transplanted.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of patients with MM.

Introduction: Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) may contribute to Alzheimer's pathology at early disease stages. GFAP moderation of Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related neurodegeneration and cognition is unclear.
Methods: We examined plasma GFAP moderation of AD biomarkers (amyloid beta [Aβ]-positron emission tomography [PET][A]; plasma phosphorylated tau-181 [p-tau181][T]), neurodegeneration (plasma NfL[N]; structural magnetic resonance imaging [MRI][N]), and cognition (Cog; Cog) in two cohorts: University of California San Francisco (UCSF) (N = 212, 91.
