Objective: To explore the value of amide proton transfer (APT) imaging in assessing parametrial invasion (PMI) and lymph-vascular space invasion (LVSI) of cervical cancer.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging data of cervical cancer patients diagnosed pathologically at our hospital from January 2021 to June 2024. All patients underwent routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and APT imaging before treatment.
Article Synopsis
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder mainly affecting women, marked by the production of autoantibodies, leading to immune dysfunction and various health complications, including neuropsychiatric manifestations.
- The case report details a rare instance of striatal lupus encephalitis in a 32-year-old woman, showing severe symptoms like hemiparesis, which were confirmed by MRI findings in the basal ganglia and elevated cerebrospinal fluid protein levels.
- The patient responded well to high-dose prednisolone and showed significant recovery, emphasizing the need for thorough diagnosis and aggressive treatment in rare SLE-related neurological conditions.
Article Synopsis
- * The case series discusses three elderly women with similar umbilical-related issues, highlighting the diagnostic challenges due to similarities with benign conditions.
- * Accurate diagnosis requires integrating clinical findings, imaging results, and pathology, as seen in the differing outcomes: a Sister Mary Joseph nodule, liposarcoma, and an infected urachal cyst.
Pyomyoma, a rare complication of leiomyoma, presents a unique clinical challenge due to its infrequency with potentially fatal complications. Herein, we report the case of a 44-year-old Para 3+1 woman with red degeneration of uterine fibroids during pregnancy, who experienced worsening abdominal pain and foul smelling vaginal discharge 1 week post Caesarean section. Despite hemodynamic stability, her septic markers were markedly raised.

Lipiodol lymphangiography, a diagnostic procedure utilizing a unique contrast agent, serves to identify the site and cause of chylous leaks. Furthermore, it functions as a therapeutic tool by injecting Lipiodol into the affected lymphatic vessel.
