Article Abstract

Bilateral medial medullary infarction (BMMI) is a rare type of brainstem ischemic stroke involving the anteromedial medulla oblongata bilaterally. Diagnosis is often delayed due to its rarity, non-specific clinical presentation, and non-revealing imaging in the early phases. MRI plays a crucial role in early detection by revealing characteristic patterns. We report two cases of BMMI, highlighting classic and additional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and their anatomic correlations.

Hubs, influencers, and communities of executive functions: a task-based fMRI graph analysis.

Front Hum Neurosci

August 2025

Baptist Medical Center, Department of Behavioral Health, Jacksonville, FL, United States.

Introduction: This study investigates four subdomains of executive functioning-initiation, cognitive inhibition, mental shifting, and working memory-using task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data and graph analysis.

Methods: We used healthy adults' functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data to construct brain connectomes and network graphs for each task and analyzed global and node-level graph metrics.

Results: The bilateral precuneus and right medial prefrontal cortex emerged as pivotal hubs and influencers, emphasizing their crucial regulatory role in all four subdomains of executive function.

Purpose: During endoscopic endonasal access to small intraconal masses deep in the orbital apex, a line of fusion between inferior and medial recti is encountered distal to the termination of the common tendinous ring. The intraoperatively viewed length of this segment has not been quantified. To assist clinical recognition of this structure, our study quantifies its length and proposes the standardized nomenclature term of inferomedial extraocular muscle raphe (IM-EOMR).

Zoledronic acid is commonly used to treat osteoporosis and it is generally well tolerated. We describe the case of a woman with osteoporosis, who developed a flare-up of osteoarthritis hours after receiving a single dose of zoledronic acid. She developed fever with chills, generalized body aches, and severe low back pain.

Background: Electrical impedance myography (EIM) has been proposed as an efficient, non-invasive biomarker of muscle composition in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).

Objective: We investigate whether EIM parameters are associated with muscle structure measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), muscle histology, and transcriptomic analysis as well as strength at the individual leg muscle level.

Methods: We performed a multi-center cross-sectional study enrolling 33 patients with FSHD.

An Unusual Case of Medial Canthal Angioleiomyoma.

Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg

September 2025

Division of Surgery, Department of Ophthalmology.

An 84-year-old Caucasian male was referred for evaluation of a worsening left medial canthal lesion for consideration of excision. The patient reported a 4-year history of the painless canthal lesion gradually increasing in size with progressively obstructed peripheral vision. On examination, the cream-colored cyst measured 10 × 8 mm.
