Background/aim: Perianal Paget's disease (PPD) is an intraepithelial invasion of the perianal skin that is frequently associated with anorectal carcinoma. Rectal canal carcinoma with Pagetoid spread (PS) is a relatively rare disease, and few reports on its outcomes are available. The relatively rare nature of this disease makes the development of treatment recommendations difficult.

This study aimed to identify similarities and differences in the symptoms of schizophrenia and ASD to establish a more useful and objective differential diagnostic method and to identify ASD traits in participants with schizophrenia.
Methods: A total of 40 participants with schizophrenia (13 females, mean age: 34 ± 11 years) and 50 participants with ASD (15 females, mean age: 34 ± 8 years) were evaluated using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2) and other clinical measures.
Article Synopsis
- - The Black Kite (Milvus migrans) is a widely spread bird of prey, but its populations outside of Europe, particularly in Southeast Asia, are not well understood due to outdated taxonomy and lack of genetic data.
- - The subspecies M. m. formosanus, found in Taiwan and Hainan, is historically documented but faces significant population changes and lacks genetic information.
- - Genetic analysis revealed that Taiwanese Black Kites have two haplogroups from M. m. lineatus and a new group possibly from M. m. formosanus; Taiwan now hosts two genetically distinct populations due to local declines and the expansion of M. m. lineatus.
Objectives: Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is one of the most common monogenic cerebral small vessel diseases. Our previous observational study suggested that lomerizine hydrochloride, a calcium channel blocker approved in Japan in 1999 for the prevention of migraine headaches, is also effective for preventing recurrent ischemic stroke in CADASIL patients. The aim of this study (LOMCAD trial) is to verify the efficacy of lomerizine hydrochloride.

Aim: Eye gaze measurement to human dialogue scenes in adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was investigated. We examined whether eye gaze measurement might be a biological marker of ADHD.
Methods: Twenty-two individuals with ADHD (mean age, 34.
