Article Synopsis
  • MOGAD encephalitis and ADEM present similar symptoms to autoimmune encephalitis (AE) linked with anti-neuronal antibodies, but their treatment and outcomes vary, and testing for anti-MOG antibodies is not routine.
  • In a study of 481 patients with suspected AE, only 3.5% had anti-MOG antibodies, with a higher prevalence in children compared to adults.
  • Patients with MOGAD exhibited fewer behavioral and movement disorders compared to those with AE, but had more symptoms related to demyelination, highlighting the need to consider MOGAD as a differential diagnosis in cases of possible AE.

Many psychopathologies tied to internalizing symptomatology emerge during adolescence, therefore identifying neural markers of internalizing behavior in childhood may allow for early intervention. We utilized data from the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study® to evaluate associations between cortico-amygdalar functional connectivity, polygenic risk for depression (PRS), traumatic events experienced, internalizing behavior, and internalizing subscales: withdrawn/depressed behavior, somatic complaints, and anxious/depressed behaviors. Data from 6371 children (ages 9-11) were used to analyze amygdala resting-state fMRI connectivity to Gordon parcellation based whole-brain regions of interest (ROIs).

FUS::CREM fusion is a distinct primary driver in rare neoplasms of the head and neck and other anatomic sites. Herein, we describe the clinicopathological, imaging, and molecular features of a malignant epithelioid mesenchymal neoplasm harboring FUS::CREM fusion, arising in the tongue of a 46-year-old male. Clinically, the patient presented with a left upper neck mass.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on Menière disease (MD), which has two main types: one with an underdeveloped endolymphatic sac (MD-hp) and another with a normally developed sac that deteriorates (MD-dg). Understanding which type a patient has is crucial for predicting disease progression and guiding treatment.
  • - Researchers analyzed CT scans of 32 patients with definite MD and 33 healthy controls to measure the angular trajectory of the vestibular aqueduct (ATVA) and the thickness of the surrounding bone, looking for correlations that could help in differentiating MD types.
  • - Results indicated that patients with MD-hp had significantly thinner retrolabyrinthine bone compared to those with MD-dg, suggesting a
