Background: In addition to physical factors, psychological factors such as self-efficacy (SE) reportedly affect physical activity (PA) levels in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, the relationship between PA and SE for walking tasks in patients with knee OA remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the direct and indirect pathways of SE for walking tasks and the influence of previously reported factors on PA level in individuals with knee OA.

Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed. Older patients with radiographic knee OA and community-dwelling older adults without knee OA as controls were enrolled in the study.
Article Synopsis
- * All patients died due to complications related to advanced brain cancer, but pre-op imaging and post-mortem analysis showed no local tumor recurrence at the PDT site, with varying tissue depths affected by PDT observed at autopsy (9-18 mm).
- * Despite the initial therapeutic effects and immune response indicated by changes in the treated tissue, viable tumor cells were found beyond the treated area, suggesting that PDT alone may not be sufficient to prevent all tumor recurrence in glioblastoma cases.
Background: A neuroendocrine tumor (NET) can develop anywhere in the body, but is mainly found in the pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, and lungs. This report is a retrospective study of the clinicopathological features of NET patients with brain metastasis whose tissue diagnosis was made at our hospital.
Methods: Patients with brain metastasis evidenced by clinical records and images were accumulated among 302 patients in whom tissue diagnosis of NETs was made at our hospital between 2008 and 2013.
Background: Two patients who had received a total resection of cerebellar hemangioblastoma developed cerebrospinal fluid dissemination during a long-term follow-up period. We present this rare disease with discussion based on the literature.
Case Description: The patients were two women aged 45 and 57 years.
