Phyllodes tumor (PT) of the breast is an uncommon fibroepithelial tumor accounting for 0.37% of primary breast cancers. Most PT are <5.0 cm, averaging 4-7 cm. We present a case of PT measuring 28 cm in diameter with an extreme computed tomography image with tumor size larger than the adjacent thoracic circumference. A 59-year-old uninsured woman without significant medical history presented with a massive ulcerated chest wall tumor. The mass was resected, and microscopic examination demonstrated spindled cells within a myxoid stroma, consistent with PT.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurobiological condition characterized by behavioral problems and delayed neurodevelopment. Although transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been proposed as an alternative treatment for patients with ASD because of its promising benefits in reducing repetitive behaviors and enhancing executive functions, the use of high-intensity pulses (Hi-TMS) appears to be related to the side effects of the therapy. Low-intensity TMS (Li-TMS) has been partially investigated, but it may have clinical effects on ASD and simultaneously increase treatment safety.

Blunt abdominal trauma frequently results in visceral injury to either solid or hollow organs; however, injury to the gallbladder is rare. This is most likely due to the anatomical position of the gallbladder, which is well-insulated posterior to the liver and rib cage. Gallbladder injuries can be in the form of avulsion, contusion, or laceration.

Department of Radiology, Affiliated Hospital 6 of Nantong University, Yancheng Third People's Hospital, Yancheng, Jiangsu, China.

Introduction: Early prognosis prediction of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) can support clinicians in choosing personalized treatment plans. The aim of this study is to develop a machine learning (ML) model that uses multiple post-labeling delay times (multi-PLD) arterial spin labeling (ASL) radiomics features to achieve early and precise prediction of AIS prognosis.

Methods: This study enrolled 102 AIS patients admitted between December 2020 and September 2024.

Objective: Presentation delay of cancer patients prevents the patient from timely diagnosis and treatment leading to poor prognosis. Predicting the risk of presentation delay is crucial to improve the treatment outcomes. This study aimed to develop and validate prediction models of presentation delay risk in gastric cancer patients by using various machine learning models.

Introduction: After the release of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, third edition (Bayley-III), US norms, an overestimation of outcome was observed. But, the conformity between the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, second edition (BSID-II), and the Bayley-III German norms is unknown. This retrospective analysis aimed to compare outcomes of very preterm infants tested with BSID-II and Bayley-III German norms.
