Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, or Forestier disease, is a relatively common disease in the elderly population. Although reported in the orthopedic and rheumatology literature, it has not, to date, been reported in the maxillofacial or dental literature. It is a disease entity that often presents with head and neck symptoms that might go unrecognized by the consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

Although aberrant changes in grey and white matter are core features of idiopathic dystonia, few studies have explored the correlation between grey and white matter changes in this disease. This study aimed to investigate the coupling correlation between morphological and microstructural alterations in patients with idiopathic dystonia. Structural T1 imaging and diffusion tensor imaging were performed on a relatively large cohort of patients.

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a common disease in older adults that causes extensive spinal ankylosis. However, its impact on quality of life (QOL) and locomotive syndrome (LS) remains unknown. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the DISH effect on QOL and LS in community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults.

A critical clinical consideration, in addition to other common risk factors predisposing individuals to idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), involves the potential co-occurrence of increased intracranial pressure and elevated cerebrospinal fluid protein levels in the presence of underlying malignancies. Primary diffuse leptomeningeal melanomatosis, an exceptionally rare condition with few reported cases in the pediatric population, illustrates this scenario. Timely decision-making based on clinical suspicion to perform a biopsy and involving a skilled pathologist for accurate reporting are essential steps toward achieving a definitive diagnosis.

Introduction: Diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD) cover heterogeneous types of lung disorders. Among many pathological phenotypes, pulmonary fibrosis is the most devastating and represents a characteristic sign of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Despite a poor prognosis brought by pulmonary fibrosis, there are no specific diagnostic biomarkers for the initial development of this fatal condition.

Patients with DISH have an increased risk of fractures, especially in ankylosed spines, which increases susceptibility to spinal cord injury. This study aimed to explore the risk factors for neurological symptoms in patients with DISH-related fractures.
