Utility of F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography in Evaluating Disseminated Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Infection in Patients With Anti-interferon-γ Autoantibodies.
Open Forum Infect Dis

Department of Internal Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital and National Taiwan University College of Medicine, Taipei, Taiwan.
Background: Managing disseminated nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection in patients with neutralizing anti-interferon-γ autoantibodies (AIGAs) poses substantial challenges due to the lack of established treatment guidance and predictive tools for clinical outcomes. In this study, we investigated the utility of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (2-[F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in guiding treatment decisions, with a focus on its ability to predict rehospitalization outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a post hoc analysis of the first available 2-[F]FDG PET scans of patients with AIGAs and disseminated NTM infection from a prospective observational multicenter cohort.
Loco-regional relapse pattern and timing after segmentectomy in patients with c-IA non-small cell lung cancer.
J Thorac Dis

Department of General Thoracic Surgery, Chiba University Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba, Japan.
Background: Segmentectomy has been recognized as the standard procedure for small peripheral lung cancer; however, it has been shown that loco-regional relapse is more common with segmentectomy than with lobectomy. This study aims to investigate the long-term outcomes and loco-regional relapse patterns in patients with clinical stage IA (c-IA) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after segmentectomy and compare them with those after lobectomy.
Methods: We retrospectively compared the long-term outcomes of 115 patients who underwent segmentectomy for c-IA NSCLC with those of 292 patients who underwent lobectomy between January 2008 and December 2015.
Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease With Isolated Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy: A Rare Presentation of an Even Rarer Disease.
Cureus
November 2024
Respiratory Medicine, University Hospital Limerick, Limerick, IRL.
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare self-limiting condition presenting as fever and cervical lymphadenopathy, with only two reported cases with isolated mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Lack of awareness about this condition often results in a high rate of misdiagnosis. We present a case of a 29-year-old Indian male with fever, mucocutaneous ulcers, weight loss, and mediastinal lymphadenopathy on CT.

Thymomas are rare, malignant, epithelial tumors of the thymus gland. Extrathoracic metastasis of thymoma is exceedingly rare, particularly when isolated to the liver. We report an 89-year-old man who presented with urinary retention.

Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Iwate Medical University School of Medicine, Yahaba, Japan.
Background: Deep neck infections (DNIs) in the cervical fascial planes can cause severe complications such as airway obstruction, mediastinitis, and sepsis.
Aims/objectives: This study examines cervical abscess development, its relationship with postoperative swallowing function, and hospital stay duration.
Material And Methods: A retrospective case series of 55 DNI patients was divided by hospital stay (<30 days: Group A, ≥30 days: Group B) and swallowing recovery (<6 days: Group C, ≥6 days: Group D).
