The authors report two new cases of inflammatory pseudotumours, sited in the pharynx and neck--sites in which no previous cases have so far been reported in the literature. The aetiology and clinical course of these rare benign tumours remain little understood even today. Their treatment is also not clearly described. This is most often surgical, although medical treatment is often very effective, and is sometimes appropriate. The authors begin by describing these two clinical cases, and then use the literature to give an account of the clinical course and treatment of inflammatory pseudotumours.

Diagnostic clues in herpes encephalitis following radiation therapy.
J Neurol Sci
January 2025

Introduction: Herpes encephalitis is known to affect patients undergoing brain radiotherapy, but early diagnosis and treatment, the foremost determinants of disease outcome, remain challenging in this patient population. This can be due to attribution of symptoms to the brain tumor and radiation side effects, as well as patients' atypical clinical presentation. Here we sought to highlight pearls and pitfalls in the clinical course and diagnostic workup which may facilitate timely diagnosis and improve disease outcome.

Background And Objectives: Although multiple sclerosis (MS) can be conceptualized as a network disorder, brain network analyses typically require advanced MRI sequences not commonly acquired in clinical practice. Using conventional MRI, we assessed cross-sectional and longitudinal structural disconnection and morphometric similarity networks in people with MS (pwMS), along with their relationship with clinical disability.
Methods: In this longitudinal monocentric study, 3T structural MRI of pwMS and healthy controls (HC) was retrospectively analyzed.
Patient reported outcome measures in cardiovascular research and care: PRO(M)s and CONS.
J Cardiovasc Pharmacol
January 2025
Maria Cecilia Hospital, GVM Care & Research, Cotignola, Italy.
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are vital tools in cardiovascular disease (CVD) research and care, providing insights that complement traditional clinical outcomes like mortality and morbidity. PROMs capture patient experiences with CVD, such as quality of life, functional capacity, and emotional well-being, allowing clinicians to assess how interventions impact daily life. PROMs are integral to cardiovascular investigations as well as management, especially in chronic conditions and rehabilitation, where they inform on the impact of personalized care plans by tracking symptom progression and patient adherence.

PLoS One
January 2025
Cancer Center, Kagoshima University Hospital, Kagoshima, Japan.
Kinase-related gene fusion and point mutations play pivotal roles as drivers in cancer, necessitating optimized, targeted therapy against these alterations. The efficacy of molecularly targeted therapeutics varies depending on the specific alteration, with great success reported for such therapeutics in the treatment of cancer with kinase fusion proteins. However, the involvement of actionable alterations in solid tumors, especially regarding kinase fusions, remains unclear.

Background And Objectives: While Hispanic/Latino populations in the U.S. are remarkably diverse in terms of birthplace and age at migration, we poorly understand how these factors are associated with cognitive aging.
