Association between diffusion tensor imaging measurements and cognitive performances in people with multiple sclerosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Alterations in structural connectivity of brain networks have been linked to complex cognitive functions in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). However, a definitive consensus on the optimal diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) markers as indicators of cognitive performance remains incomplete and inconclusive. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to explore the evidence on the correlation between DTI metrics and cognitive functions in PwMS.

Differentiating glioblastoma multiforme from cerebral lymphoma: application of advanced texture analysis of quantitative apparent diffusion coefficients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to differentiate glioblastoma multiforme from primary central nervous system lymphoma using the customised first and second-order histogram features derived from apparent diffusion coefficients. A total of 82 patients (57 with glioblastoma multiforme and 25 with primary central nervous system lymphoma) were included in this study. The axial T1 post-contrast and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance images were used to delineate regions of interest for the tumour and peritumoral oedema.

Late diagnosis of generalized lymphangiomatosis in a woman presenting with respiratory distress.

Generalized lymphangiomatosis (GLA) is a rare lymphatic abnormality, mostly affects children and young individuals and can be a diagnostic challenge because of wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. A 26-year-old woman presented to the emergency department of our institution with respiratory distress and hypoxia. The patient reported similar episodes for the past 10 years without a definite diagnosis.
