The aim of this study is to present a patient with 3 primaries diagnosed with the ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT study performed for the staging of endometrial cancer. Pathologic accumulations of the tracer were detected in both lobes of the thyroid gland, in the left lung and in the known primary of the uterus. A bilateral multifocal differentiated thyroid carcinoma and a peripheral carcinoid tumor in left lung were the final diagnosis as shown by histology. In conclusion, in this patient the PET/CT study performed for staging endometrial cancer demonstrated two new synchronous primary tumors. This is the second similar case but the first where all three primaries had entirely different histology.

Introduction: Fibromyalgia (FM) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are complex central sensitization syndromes that represent an important public health problem. Low cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle function with habitual intolerance to efforts are common characteristics of FM and CFS. This study aimed to examine the effect of a brief multicomponent intervention based on physical activity (PA), nutrition, and chronobiology on movement behaviors (PA, sedentary and sleep time), muscle strength, and cardiorespiratory capacity.

Background: Although the approval of immunotherapy in patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) has significantly improved the patient's prognosis, synchronous chemoradiotherapy has always been the standard treatment for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC).
Objectives: Immuno-combined and radio-combined therapy in LS-SCLC has been applied in clinical practice, but what is the best for LS-SCLC?
Design: This was a retrospective cohort study.
Methods: Patients with LS-SCLC from January 2019 to December 2023 were retrospectively screened and divided into three groups according to the initial treatment regimen whether included immune-combined and radio-combined treatment.
Gait initiation is a fundamental human task, requiring one or more anticipatory postural adjustments (APA) prior to stepping. Deviations in amplitude and timing of APAs exist in Parkinson's disease (PD), causing dysfunctional postural control which increases the risk of falls. The motor cortex and basal ganglia have been implicated in the regulation of postural control, however, their dynamics during gait initiation, relationship to APA metrics, and response to pharmacotherapy such as levodopa are unknown.

Sporadic bilateral renal cell carcinoma (BRCC) is a rare situation of RCC. The treatment for BRCC is controversial and there is a lack of authoritative guidelines about the management of BRCC. Patients diagnosed with sporadic BRCC between 2004 and 2020 were identified from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

Background: The prognosis of patients with synchronous oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been improving owing to advancements in imaging techniques and new treatment approaches such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. This study aimed to investigate the long-term outcomes, including the clinical course after recurrence, of patients with synchronous oligometastatic NSCLC with only brain metastases, treated with bifocal treatment.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 22 patients with clinical T1-4 and N0-1 NSCLC with synchronous brain metastases who were diagnosed by preoperative PET/CT and brain CT or MRI and underwent pulmonary resection for the primary site and surgery or radiation therapy for brain metastases at our institution from 2005 to 2019.
