Imaging Characteristics and Pathological Analysis of Primary Hepatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms.
Curr Med Imaging
November 2023
Aims: To investigate the radiological characteristics of the PHNENs on CT and MRI and improve the understanding of the image manifestations and preoperative diagnosis of the disease.
Background: Primary hepatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PHNENs) are rare diseases, and most of the relevant studies are case reports. Characterized by no specific clinical symptoms, PHNENs not only have a low preoperative diagnosis rate with great difficulty in early diagnosis but are frequently misdiagnosed as primary hepatic cancer.
Clinical identification and microbiota analysis of and pneumonia by metagenomic next-generation sequencing.

Article Synopsis
- Chlamydial pneumonia is increasingly being caused by rare pathogens, often leading to misdiagnosis and delayed treatments due to non-specific symptoms and traditional detection limitations.
- The study utilized metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) to analyze the pathogen profiles and lower respiratory tract microbiota of pneumonia patients with varying chlamydial infections.
- Results showed that patients infected with one specific pathogen had more co-infections and lower microbiota diversity, indicating that chlamydial infections significantly influence lung microbiota and potentially worsen clinical outcomes.
Lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma (LPRM) is a rare subtype of meningioma, the specific pathogenesis of which remains unclear. Herein, we report the case of a 48-year-old Asian man who experienced progressive deafness and limb weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed extramedullary masses diffusely growing, wrapping, and compressing the cervical spinal cord.
