Contrast-Enhancing Lesion Segmentation in Multiple Sclerosis: A Deep Learning Approach Validated in a Multicentric Cohort.

The detection of contrast-enhancing lesions (CELs) is fundamental for the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). This task is time-consuming and suffers from high intra- and inter-rater variability in clinical practice. However, only a few studies proposed automatic approaches for CEL detection.

Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy in a Large Thalamic Glioma with Long-Term Remission: A Case Report.

Introduction: Thalamic gliomas pose a particular therapeutic challenge as complete resection is rarely achieved due to the deep and eloquent location. Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) may provide a valuable management option for deep-seated gliomas that are not accessible with open surgery.

Case Presentation: A 57-year-old woman presented with a rapidly progressive large thalamic glioblastoma.

Blunt rupture of the biceps brachii muscle - The "parachute injury" in a wake surfer - A case report.

Case: A 40-year-old man fell while wake surfing and his left arm got tangled in the rope. This caused a closed complete rupture of the M. biceps brachii.

Safety of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in patients under Sacral Neuromodulation with an InterStim Neuromodulator.

Objective: To retrospectively investigate the safety of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients under sacral neuromodulation (InterStim II).

Methods: Data of patients who received a sacral neuromodulator at the urological department of a Swiss center of tertiary care from 2007 to 2018 and subsequently received at least 1 MRI with implanted device were retrospectively analyzed. Patient characteristics, data on implantation, MRI characteristics and complications potentially related to the MRI were analyzed.

Tularemia: an experience of 13 cases including a rare myocarditis in a referral center in Eastern Switzerland (Central Europe) and a review of the literature.

Background: Tularemia, a zoonotic disease caused by Francisella tularensis, can cause a broad spectrum of disease in humans including six major clinical presentations: the ulceroglandular, glandular, oculoglandular, oropharyngeal, typhoidal and pneumonic form. The epidemiology and ecology and thus transmission of tularemia are complex, depending on conditions unique to specific locations.

Case Series And Methods: Thirteen cases with different forms of the disease and one very rare case of a myocarditis are reported, discussed, and reviewed within the scope of current literature.

Unilateral tongue myokymia - A rare topodiagnostic sign of different clinical conditions.

Myokymia of the tongue is a very rare clinical condition and is much less common than facial or focal myokymia of the limbs. Radiation-induced delayed nerve damage is a well-known cause of myokymia, but other etiologies i.e.

De novo status epilepticus with isolated aphasia.

Background: Sudden onset of aphasia is usually due to stroke. Rapid diagnostic workup is necessary if reperfusion therapy is considered. Ictal aphasia is a rare condition but has to be excluded.
