Article Abstract

The preoperative diagnosis and management of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) patients with cervical lesions remain problematic. This study analysed the associations between pathological types of cervical lesions in PJS patients and their MRI features. A total of 34 PJS patients were included and two experienced radiologists reviewed the MRIs independently. Based on the pathological diagnosis, the patients were categorized into four groups: normal (n  =  4), lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia (LEGH, n  =  11), atypical LEGH (aLEGH, n  =  8), and gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (G-EAC, n  =  11). By observing the MRI features, we found statistically significant differences in the extent of lesions (P  = 0 .001), distribution of microcysts (P  = 0 .001), proportion of microcysts (P  <  0.001) and endometrial involvement (P  = 0.019) among the four groups. Notably, solid components and disrupted cervical stromal rings were found only in the aLEGH and G-EAC groups (P  < 0.001).  Consequently, we created a novel grading system based on the aforementioned MRI features to align with the potential malignancy of cervical lesions in PJS patients. This system enables patients to receive timely and appropriate treatment recommendations while facilitating collaboration between radiologists and physicians.

Persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a leading cause of cervical cancer worldwide. While prophylactic vaccines exist, many women remain at risk due to prior exposure or limited access to vaccination. Current treatments focus on ablating visible lesions but often fail to clear the virus completely.

Background: Effects of ground surface and hoof angles on equine cervical and thoracolumbosacral kinematics are poorly understood. However, the equine cervical and thoracolumbosacral areas present frequent lesions and he management of factors that might improve treatment and rehabilitation outcomes, such as ground surface and hoof angles, requires more investigation.

Aims: Our objectives were to determine the influence of ground surface (asphalt versus sand) and a 3 degrees hind toe or heel elevation on cervical and thoracolumbosacral kinematics during walking and trotting.

We report the forensic and clinicopathological spectrum of 14 postmortem cases involving the vertebral artery. In all cases, there was either pontocerebellar infarction (n = 8) or subarachnoid hemorrhage (n = 6). The underlying pathology of the vertebral artery was segmental mediolytic arteriopathy (n = 5), traumatic rupture of the arterial wall (n = 3), arterial dissection (n = 2), or atherosclerosis (n = 4).

Monomelic amyotrophy (MMA) is a lower motor neuron predominant disorder affecting an upper limb, which can mimic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It often presents with unilateral, distal upper limb weakness and atrophy, whose trajectory is one of an initial period of progression followed by a prolonged plateau, as opposed to the typically relentless progression as is seen in ALS. This case report describes a novel observation of a patient with MMA with an unexplained ipsilateral partial Horner's syndrome (miosis and ptosis).

Background: In menopausal women, decreased estrogen levels lead to genital tract mucosal atrophy and reduced mucosal immune function. Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) associated with persistent or newly acquired high-risk HPV infection may progress silently to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and eventually cervical cancer.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy combined with estrogen in the treatment of menopausal women with LSIL and high-risk HPV infection.
