Article Synopsis
- The rate of colitis and its risk of turning into colorectal cancer is increasing, so new treatments need to be found, especially using dietary supplements.
- One possible supplement is methionine, a sulfur-containing amino acid, which may help reduce inflammation and improve gut health.
- The study showed that adding methionine to the diet of mice with colitis can help reduce symptoms and change the bacteria in their guts in a positive way.
Rationale: Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive lipid deposition disorder characterized by systemic signs and neurological dysfunction. The radiological features of CTX are infrequently summarized in the literature.
Patient Concerns: We described a 40-year-old male patient who repeatedly engaged in wrestling matches and presented with progressive difficulty in walking and reduced balance with egg-sized, hard, smooth, and painless masses in both ankles.
Neuroimaging evidence implies that cognitive impairment in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is related to the disruption of the default-mode network (DMN). The DMN can be divided into three functionally independent subsystems, which include the cortical hub subsystem [consisting of the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and the anterior medial prefrontal cortex (aMPFC)], the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (dMPFC) subsystem, and the medial temporal lobe (MTL) subsystem. However, it is unknown how the functional connectivity (FC) in DMN subsystems is differentially impaired in ESRD.

Methods: The MRI images of 8 cases of eGBM were analyzed retrospectively.
