Tumefactive dilated perivascular space with spontaneous regression.

Tumefactive (giant) perivascular spaces of the brain are a rare benign lesion that may occasionally result in localized neurological symptoms and typically do not change in appearance on subsequent imaging studies. Here we report a case of a 65-year-old woman with newly diagnosed lung cancer that underwent routine staging MRI of the brain. She was found to have a cystic temporal lobe lesion with imaging features consistent with a tumefactive perivascular space.

Managing government debt.

To construct a stochastic version of [R. J. Barro, , 940-971 (1979)] normative model of tax rates and debt/GDP dynamics, we add risks and markets for trading them along lines suggested by [K.

Real-World Treatment Patterns Among Patients with Connective Tissue Disorder-Related Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in the United States: A Retrospective Claims-Based Analysis.

Introduction: Connective tissue disorders (CTDs) are the most frequent diseases associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Despite advances in treatment, the prognosis of CTD-related PAH remains poor. To help identify areas for improvement in the management of CTD-related PAH, this study assessed real-world PAH treatment patterns in this population in the US.

Factors influencing the total procedure time of CT-guided percutaneous core-needle biopsies of lung nodules: a retrospective analysis.

PURPOSE This study aims to investigate the factors that influence total procedure time when performing computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous core-needle lung biopsies. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of 673 patients, who underwent a CT-guided percutaneous coreneedle biopsy at a tertiary care center from March 2014 to August 2016. Data on patient, nodule, and procedural factors and outcomes were collected retrospectively.

A framework for the analysis of self-confirming policies.

This paper provides a general framework for analyzing self-confirming policies. We study self-confirming equilibria in recurrent decision problems with incomplete information about the true stochastic model. We characterize stationary monetary policies in a linear-quadratic setting.
