Intracranial dermoids may gradually reach an enormous size before the onset of symptoms. Common clinical presentations of intracranial epidermoid include headache and seizures. We present a case of a 35-year female patient with giant middle fossa epidermoid that presented with Holmes' tremor syndrome, and we review the relevant literature. To the best of our knowledge, such a presentation has not previously been described in the literature.

Does tocilizumab eliminate inflammation in GCA? A cohort study on repeated temporal artery biopsies.
RMD Open
December 2024
Unit of Rheumatology, Azienda USL - IRCCS di Reggio Emilia, Reggio Emilia, Italy
Background: Vascular inflammation persists in temporal artery biopsy (TAB) of giant cell arteritis (GCA) patients even after prolonged glucocorticoid (GC) therapy. We aimed to evaluate the histological impact of adding tocilizumab (TCZ) to GCs.
Methods: We enrolled all consecutive GCA patients with an inflammed TAB at diagnosis who were treated with TCZ and GCs for ≥6 months and followed from December 2017 to December 2023.
A Closer Look at the Giant with Feet of Clay: Analyzing and Refining Neff´s Theory of Self-Compassion.

In this article, the authors aim to offer a perspective on self-compassion capable of becoming part of a unified psychology; however not "from scratch", but based on what Neff (2003a, b) proposed. This is through the analysis and refinement of her theory in two stages. First, they check whether the supposed six factors exist in the constitution of self-compassion using the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) technique in a collected sample for this study (249 participants, 69.

we report the case of a recurrent giant pseudopolyp occurring in a patient without a history of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with an asymptomatic interval of nine years. Case Presentation: a 51-year-old Caucasian male with no relevant medical history was hospitalized for a subocclusive mass in the right colon, suspected to be neoplastic. He underwent a right hemicolectomy, and the histopathology revealed a giant pseudopolyp without malignancy.

Department of Rheumatology, Hospital Universitario de Bellvitge. Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL), Barcelona, Spain.
Objective: To investigate differences in arterial involvement patterns on F-FDG PET-CT between predominant cranial and isolated extracranial phenotypes of giant cell arteritis (GCA).
Methods: A retrospective review of F-FDG PET-CT findings was conducted on 140 patients with confirmed GCA. The patients were divided into two groups: the cranial group, which presented craniofacial ischemic symptoms either at diagnosis or during follow-up, and the isolated extracranial group which never exhibited such manifestations.

Disease networks offer a potential road map of connections between diseases. Several studies have created disease networks where diseases are connected either based on shared genes or Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) associations. However, it is still unclear to which degree SNP-based networks map to empirical, co-observed diseases within a different, general, adult study population spanning over a long time period.
