Background: Shoulder pain-mostly related to rotator cuff tendinopathy-is the most common reason adults seek upper limb specialty care. Tendinopathy of the long head of the biceps may be part of rotator cuff tendinopathy, which most of us develop as we age. Evidence that these processes are related and that both are part of human shoulder senescence could contribute to a reconceptualization of shoulder tendinopathy as a single set of age-related changes, which are often well-accommodated, sometimes misinterpreted as an injury, and associated with notable nonspecific treatment effects, thus meriting caution regarding the potential for overtreatment.

Introduction: Canavan disease (CD) is a rare autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder caused by a deficiency of aspartoacylase A, an enzyme that degrades N-acetylaspartate (NAA). The disease is characterized by progressive white matter degeneration, leading to intellectual disability, seizures, and death. This retrospective study aims to describe the full spectrum of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a large case series of CD patients.

Leukodystrophies, a group of rare demyelinating disorders, mainly affect the CNS. Clinical presentation of different types of leukodystrophies can be nonspecific, and thus, imaging techniques like MRI can be used for a more definitive diagnosis. These diseases are characterized as cerebral lesions with characteristic demyelinating patterns which can be used as differentiating tools.
