Article Abstract
Cryptococcal meningitis is a prevalent, opportunistic fungal disease seen in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals. A lymph node is an unusual presentation site for and can mimic tuberculosis. Disseminated cryptococcosis is a life-threatening disease that is seen commonly in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). We report a case of an HIV patient who presented with mild pleural effusion, multiple mediastinal, axillary lymphadenopathy with a low CD4:CD8 lymphocyte ratio, and favored clinically disseminated tuberculosis. Further cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and tracheal aspirate have been done. Tracheal aspirate culture shows a fungal organism resembling . Later, India ink staining on CSF highlighted the fungal organism . Cytopathological investigation showed necrotizing inflammation along with fungal organisms, confirming the presence of cryptococcal lymphadenitis.

Objective: This study aims to systematically evaluate the inter- and intra-observer agreement regarding lesions with uncertain malignancy potential in Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT imaging of prostate cancer patients, utilizing the PSMA-RADS 2.0 classification system, and to emphasize the malignancy evidence associated with these lesions.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT images of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer via histopathology between December 2016 and November 2023.
Number of Examined Lymph Nodes in the Highest Quartile Enhances Staging and Prognosis for Patients with Esophageal Cancer Receiving Neoadjuvant Therapy.

Cancer Center, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.
Background: The optimal number of examined lymph nodes (ELN) for accurate staging and prognosis for esophageal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ELN count on pathologic staging and survival outcomes and to develop a predictive model for lymph node positivity in this patient population.
Methods: Data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and a multicenter cohort.
Impact of D3 lymph node dissection extent on postoperative bowel function and nutritional status in right-sided colon cancer: a prospective randomized controlled trial.

Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, Shandong, China.
Aim And Background: This study investigates the impact of D3 lymph node dissection extent on postoperative bowel function and nutritional status in patients undergoing radical surgery for right-sided colon cancer. Given that postoperative diarrhea can significantly affect the quality of life, we examined whether dissection boundaries influence these outcomes.
Methods: This was a prospective, randomized controlled trial conducted at a high-volume tertiary hospital.
MRI at 0.55 T for Assessment of Pancreatic Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms: An Intraindividual Comparison Versus 1.5-T and 3-T MRI.

Mid-field (0.55-T) MRI may offer an alternative to higher field strengths for pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) surveillance given high-quality MRCP sequences enabled by longer T2 relaxation times and greater patient comfort resulting from a larger bore and reduced acoustic noise. However, SNR is lower at 0.
