Article Abstract

Purpose Of Review: The classification of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies is challenging due to the large number of clinical, serological, histopathological and genetic findings, as well as the latest findings and developments in the field of myositis research. The latest official classification criteria are the 2017 European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria for adult and juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, which have been extensively reviewed in recent years for their applicability, sensitivity and specificity.

Recent Findings: The sensitivity and specificity of the 2017 ACR/EULAR criteria are sometimes performing better, but usually at the same level as the previous criteria. A large number of further suggestions for amendments to the criteria have been made. In particular there is a need to revise the criteria with regard to the addition of new myositis-specific autoantibodies, newly defined subgroups (especially antisynthetase syndrome, immune medicated necrotizing myopathy and overlap myositis) and possibly the addition of further diagnostic procedures (for instance, muscle MRI or PET CT) to improve the accuracy and timeliness of the criteria.

Summary: Efforts to optimize the myositis classification criteria have been extensive in recent years and a new global interdisciplinary collaboration of clinicians is currently taking place based on the previous results with the aim of revising the 2017 EULAR/ACR classification criteria.

Rationale And Objectives: This study systematically evaluates the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven and conventional radiomics models in detecting muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) through meta-analytical approaches. Furthermore, it investigates their potential synergistic value with the Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) and assesses clinical translation prospects.

Methods: This study adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Challenges in the Diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Clin Med (Lond)

September 2025

Leeds Institute of Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Medicine, University of Leeds, Chapel Allerton Hospital, Leeds, UK; NIHR Leeds Biomedical Research Centre, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Leeds, UK. Electronic address:

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a life-long, complex, multi-system, autoimmune condition which can occur at any age, most commonly in female adults in their reproductive years. Diagnosis is often delayed with reported time from symptom onset to diagnosis as long as 6 years. Delayed diagnosis can result in irreversible organ damage, acute hospital admission, poor health-related outcomes and increased risk of mortality.

Taxonomy of paradigms for neuropsychological assessment of body representation based on a critical review.

Neurologia (Engl Ed)

September 2025

Facultad de Psicología, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Campus de Somosaguas 28223 - Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid, Spain. Electronic address:

Introduction: The concept of body representation overlaps with others, such as body schema, body image, body semantics, structural description, body description or body map. A taxonomy is proposed that classifies body schema, body structural description and body semantics. The aim of this narrative review is to analyze the supply of instruments for neuropsychological assessment of body representation and to propose a classification of their paradigms.

Is the use of intraoperative vasopressors associated with flap failure in head and neck free tissue transfer surgery?

J Stomatol Oral Maxillofac Surg

September 2025

Department of Anesthesiology, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology, Beijing, P. R. China; National Center of Stomatology & National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, Beijing, P. R. China. Electronic address:

Background: Maintaining appropriate blood pressure during head and neck free tissue transfer surgery is important for both organ and flap perfusion. However, the use of vasopressors to treat intraoperative hypotension is controversial. The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate the impact of intraoperative vasopressors on the incidence of flap necrosis.

Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are common vascular pathologies with a risk of fatal rupture. Human assessment of rupture risk is error prone, and treatment decision for unruptured IAs often rely on expert opinion and institutional policy. Therefore, we aimed to develop a computer-assisted aneurysm rupture prediction framework to help guide the decision-making process and create future decision criteria.
