Foreign body ingestions are all too common in children. The adverse effects of many of these ingestions are well known. We present an interesting case report of "Buckyballs" and the implications of ingesting or placing in other orifices these strong rare-earth magnets. We illustrate that these toys can be of possible disastrous consequences. Although these products were removed from the marketplace, there is still the possibility of negative consequences. Our aim was to inform the physician population of their persistence and negative effects.

Rationale: Spinal bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a rare X-linked recessive motor neuron degenerative disease. Due to the lack of specificity in its early clinical manifestations, SBMA is easily misdiagnosed. Herein, we present a case in which SBMA was misdiagnosed as polymyositis.

Article Synopsis
- * Conducted at Chongqing Aier Eye Hospital, the study included 24 participants with PSF for at least one month after surgery, who were randomized to receive either SML or sham treatment, with evaluations over six months for changes in fluid volume and visual acuity.
- * Results showed a significant reduction in OCT volume around the macular fovea in the SML group compared to the sham group after six months, indicating that SML may help absorb
Linear Bloch-Siegert phase-encoded low-field MRI: RF coils, pulse sequence, and image reconstruction.

Conventional gradient systems have several weaknesses including high cost and bulk. As a step towards addressing these while providing new degrees of freedom for spatial encoding and system design in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), a radio frequency (RF) gradient encoding system and pulse sequence for phase encoding using the Bloch-Siegert (BS) shift were developed. Optimized BS spatial encoding coils with bucking windings (counter-wound loops) were designed and constructed, along with compatible homogeneous imaging coils for excitation and signal reception.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of remimazolam and propofol in managing hemodynamics and postoperative recovery in elderly frail patients undergoing ERCP.
- A total of 108 patients were randomly assigned to either the remimazolam group or the propofol group, each receiving different dosages for anesthesia.
- Results showed that the remimazolam group had a significantly lower incidence of intraoperative hypotension (24.5%) compared to the propofol group (43.6%), although the difference in severe hypotension rates was not significant.

We report a probable case of basicranial infection diagnosed by pathogenic serological examination presenting atypical initial manifestations, and highlight the importance of serological examination to avoid treatment delay and disease management. An 84-year-old diabetic patient presented with right peripheral nerve palsy, intolerable otalgia, hearing loss, dysphagia, hoarseness, and bucking. The patient was diagnosed a probable skull base osteomyelitis with cranial neuritis and meningitis of central nervous system.
