Purpose: The purpose of the study is to describe the rare tumor on 2-deoxy-2[F-18]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET).
Procedure: A 33-year-old male was diagnosed with high uptake lesion on FDG-PET scanning, which was found to be hibernoma on excision.
Results: Hibernoma, originally confused with liposarcoma based on its PET and computed tomography presentation, was excised and correctly identified by pathology.
Conclusion: Although found to be benign, radiological and FDG-PET scanning results were indistinguishable from malignancy, and biopsy is required to exclude neoplasm.

Associations between inflammation and striatal dopamine D2-receptor availability in aging.

Background: Normal brain aging is associated with dopamine decline, which has been linked to age-related cognitive decline. Factors underlying individual differences in dopamine integrity at older ages remain, however, unclear. Here we aimed at investigating: (i) whether inflammation is associated with levels and 5-year changes of in vivo dopamine D2-receptor (DRD2) availability, (ii) if DRD2-inflammation associations differ between men and women, and (iii) whether inflammation and cerebral small-vessel disease (white-matter lesions) serve as two independent predictors of DRD2 availability.

Purpose: To evaluate the staging performance of positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) for confirmed esophageal cancer based on the TNM classification system as well as compare it to other alternative modalities (e.g., endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), computed tomography (CT), MRI, and PET/CT) in a full head-to-head manner.

Oligorecurrent prostate cancer (PCa) can be treated with metastasis-directed therapy (MDT), which may be performed using radioguided surgery (RGS) as an experimental approach. These procedures have shown promising outcomes, largely due to the high lesion detection rate of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). We present a case series of patients who underwent RGS following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Curr Opin Cardiol

Division of Cardiology, University of Ottawa Heart Institute, University of Ottawa, Faculty of Medicine, Tier 1 Clinical Research Chair in Cardiac Electrophysiology, Ottawa, ON, Canada.
Purpose Of Review: This review presents contemporary data on epidemiology, common presentations, investigations and diagnostic algorithms, treatment and prognosis. It particularly focuses on topics of most relevance to heart failure specialists, including what left ventricle (LV) function changes can be expected after treatment and outcomes to all standard and advanced heart failure therapies.
Recent Findings: Around 5% of sarcoidosis patients have clinically manifest cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), presenting with significant arrhythmias (such as conduction disturbances and ventricular arrhythmias) or newly developed unexplained heart failure.
An ARFID case report assessment with 18F-FDG PET/MRI and treatment with olanzapine, escitalopram and fluoxetine in adult.

Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital, Dalian Medical University, Dalian, China.
Background: Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), a DSM-5-introduced eating disorder, is increasingly prevalent and challenging to treat, primarily affecting children and adolescents, with limited adult case reports. This rarity in adults leads to misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis, and treatment experiences are scarce.
Case Presentation: This report details an adult ARFID case, where the patient's fear of food intake followed gastric damage from corn ingestion, resulting in a restrictive diet of rice porridge due to gastric pain.
