A 75-year-old female was admitted to our hospital because of shortness of breath and palpitations. Chest roentgenogram together with a CT scan showed multiple nodular shadows in both lung fields, with hilar lymphadenopathy. The cervical lymph nodes were enlarged, and were biopsied to reveal diffuse large T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Extensive pulmonary involvement was suspected and treatment with a modified CHOP regimen was begun. Following therapy, pulmonary symptoms were remarkably improved, and chest roentgenogram revealed virtually complete clearance of lung lesions. No severe side effects were observed as a result of the therapy.

Objectives: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced protein homeostasis perturbation is a core pathological element in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. This study aims to clarify the unique role played by C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) as a biomarker of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the etiology of chronic pain and related cognitive impairments following chronic constrictive nerve injury (CCI).

Methods: The memory capability following CCI was assessed utilizing the Morris water maze (MWM) and fear conditioning test (FCT).

Motor function and compound muscle action potential amplitude in children with spinal muscular atrophy treated with nusinersen.

Brain Dev

January 2025

Department of Neurology Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, National Clinical Research Center for Child Health and Disorders, Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Child Development and Disorders, Chongqing Key Laboratory of Child Neurodevelopment and Cognitive Disorders, Chongqing, China. Electronic address:

Background: Disease-modifying therapies can improve motor function in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), but efficacy varies between individuals. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nusinersen treatment in children with SMA and to investigate prognostic factors.

Methods: Motor function, compound muscle action potential (CMAP), and other indicators were prospectively collected before and 14 months after nusinersen treatment.

Scoliosis development in 5q-spinal muscular atrophy under disease modifying therapies.

Eur Spine J

December 2024

Center for Musculoskeletal Surgery (CMSC), Charité Universitätsmedizin, Campus Mitte Charitéplatz 1, Berlin, Germany.

Purpose: 5q-spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a treatable neuromuscular disorder associated with scoliosis in up to 90% of patients. New SMA therapies could mark a paradigm shift in scoliosis management, but their effects on scoliosis development remain unclear. This study aims to observe scoliosis progression in the current treatment landscape to inform management strategies.

Genetic modifiers of asthma response to air pollution in children: An African ancestry GWAS and PM polygenic risk score study.

Environ Res

December 2024

Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, 3451 Walnut St, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, USA; The Center of Applied Genomics, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, 3615 Civic Center Blvd, 19104, Philadelphia, PA, USA; Division of Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, 3615 Civic Center Blvd, 19104, Philadelphia, PA, USA.

Rationale: Ambient air pollution (AAP) is linked to asthma outcomes, but predicting individual risk remains challenging. Understanding genetic contributors to AAP sensitivity may help overcome this gap.

Objectives: To determine if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with AAP sensitivity in children with asthma.

Background: Using artificial intelligence (AI) to augment knowledge is key to establishing precision education in modern radiology training. Our department has developed a novel AI-derived knowledge recommender, the first reported precision education program in radiology, RADHawk (RH), that augments the training of radiology residents and fellows by pushing personalized and relevant educational content in real-time and in context with the case being interpreted.

Purpose: To assess the impact on trainees of an AI-based knowledge recommender compared to traditional knowledge sourcing for radiology reporting through reporting time, quality, cognitive load, and learning experiences.
