Comparison of PET/CT and PET/MRI in central nervous system tumors, a narrative review.

Background: PET/CT and PET/MRI are two useful imaging modalities in neuro-oncology. Our aim was to review the existing literature on the benefits and drawbacks of using PET/CT and PET/MRI in the diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) tumors.

Methods: A literature search was conducted using valid databases, limited to English-language articles published between 2010 and 2023, and independently reviewed by two reviewers.

Co-occurrence of anti-phospholipid syndrome and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in a patient with Autoimmune hepatitis: A case report.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neurological disease characterized by a variety of neurological findings, in accordance with radiological characteristics. PRES is commonly secondary to elevated BP and/or conditions such as autoimmune patients receiving immunosuppressive drugs. Our case involves a 36-year-old female with a history of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), who presented with sudden onset headaches from 3 weeks prior, and a single episode of seizure attack the morning before admission.

Exploring the latest advances in F-FDG PET/CT and cardiac magnetic resonance for imaging for cardiac sarcoidosis diagnosis.

Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease that affects multiple organs. Various clinical signs are associated with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), and the diagnosis process is complicated because any organ could be involved. Despite the critical clinical importance of early and precise diagnosis of CS, there is currently no gold-standard method for CS evaluation.

Recent advancements in F-FDG PET/CT for the diagnosis, staging, and treatment management of HIV-related lymphoma.

Infection with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is one of the most pressing issues facing public health on a worldwide scale. Currently, HIV-related lymphoma is the most common cause of death among people living with HIV, and warrants more attention. The unique challenges associated with HIV-related lymphoma management derive from the underlying HIV infection and its immunosuppressive effects.

GBS as unusual presentation of neurobrucellosis: A rare case report.

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by small intracellular aerobic Gram-negative bacilli The literature has frequently documented instances of the gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and skeletal systems being involved. In 3%-5% of brucellosis patients, neurobrucellosis has been identified. Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a disorder of the peripheral nervous system.

Association between patellofemoral osteoarthritis with demographic features and anatomical variants of the knee in non-traumatic patients.

Background: Patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) is a common cause of knee discomfort and impairment, particularly among athletes. The development of PFOA has been associated with anatomical knee variations, such as trochlear dysplasia and patella alta. However, the relationship between these anatomical variants and the development of PFOA remains poorly understood.
