Introduction: Focal non-mass enhancement (NME) is a common breast MRI finding with limited data to guide management. This study aimed to assess clinical and imaging features of malignant BI-RADS 4 focal NME.
Methods: This IRB-approved, retrospective study included breast MRI exams between August 1, 2013 and September 1, 2022 yielding BI-RADS 4 focal NME lesions that underwent core biopsy or excision with available pathology result or demonstrated decrease or resolution during follow-up MRI or at least 2 years of MRI stability.
Article Synopsis
- Diagnostic algorithms for syphilis primarily rely on serology testing, which can sometimes be ineffective due to immunosuppressive therapies.
- A case is presented involving a patient with multiple sclerosis receiving ofatumumab who developed secondary syphilis.
- Despite the diagnosis, this individual showed persistent negative results for both treponemal and nontreponemal tests, complicating the diagnosis.
The past ice sheet dynamics and the timing of retreat events in the paleo-record in the Ross Sea is an issue still few understood. In order to contribute to this topic, we provide a multiproxy data from marine sediment archives (cores and box cores) collected in three sites in the Central Basin (Western Ross Sea, Antarctica). Each site recorded different environments, affected by different oceanographic conditions and sedimentary regime.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated an automated system for segmenting breast cancers in MRI scans and compared its effectiveness to that of radiologists across multiple clinical sites.
- A 3D U-Net model was trained on a substantial dataset and validated against test data from different sites, showing similar performance between the AI and radiologists.
- The findings indicate that the AI can match radiologists' segmentation accuracy and the code and model weights are shared publicly to encourage reproducibility in radiology AI research.
Micro- and nano-plastics (MNPLs) can move along the food chain to higher-level organisms including humans. Three significant routes for MNPLs have been reported: ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. Accumulating evidence supports the intestinal toxicity of ingested MNPLs and their role as drivers for increased incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in high-risk populations such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients.
