Lymphomatosis cerebri caused by adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma: a differential diagnosis for depression: a case report.

Background: Primary central nervous system lymphoma is rare, and primary central nervous system T cell lymphoma is relatively uncommon, contributing to < 5% of all cases. Lymphomatosis cerebri, a rare subtype of primary central nervous system lymphoma, is characterized by extensive white-matter lesions on magnetic resonance imaging and nonspecific symptoms, such as cognitive decline and depression. Reports of lymphomatosis cerebri in adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma are limited.

Malignant Meningioma Mimicking Chronic Subdural Hematoma.

Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is the most common disease encountered in neurosurgery. Diagnoses of CSDH are usually made on the basis of computed tomography (CT) images. In this report, we discuss the case of a patient with meningioma whose findings instead suggested CSDH.

Towards a unified model of neutrino-nucleus reactions for neutrino oscillation experiments.

A precise description of neutrino-nucleus reactions will play a key role in addressing fundamental questions such as the leptonic CP violation and the neutrino mass hierarchy through analyzing data from next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments. The neutrino energy relevant to the neutrino-nucleus reactions spans a broad range and, accordingly, the dominant reaction mechanism varies across the energy region from quasi-elastic scattering through nucleon resonance excitations to deep inelastic scattering. This corresponds to transitions of the effective degree of freedom for theoretical description from nucleons through meson-baryon to quarks.

Resolution of epidural hematoma related to osteoporotic fracture after percutaneous vertebroplasty.

We are the first to report a case that showed spontaneous resolution of epidural hematoma which was related to a steroid-induced osteoporotic compression fracture. The patient had a painful fracture with an intravertebral cleft at L1 accompanying an epidural hematoma posteriorly. Immediate pain relief was achieved after percutaneous vertebroplasty.
