AI Article Synopsis
- Pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas (PGLs) are rare and mostly benign tumors, with a case study of a 32-year-old woman who had metastatic PGL after being diagnosed with an abdominal tumor at age 12.
- The patient dealt with the progression of the disease, undergoing multiple treatments like radiation and chemotherapy.
- Upon referral in 2014, her primary concern was a fast-growing mass on her left chest wall, which was further evaluated using four different PET imaging techniques.
Article Abstract
Pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas (PGLs) are rare tumors and mostly benign. We report on a 32-year-old woman with metastatic PGL who was first diagnosed with an abdominal PGL at the age of 12 years. She soon developed metastatic disease and received several treatments including external beam radiation and chemotherapy. When she was referred to our institution in 2014, her major complaint was a rapidly growing chest wall mass on the left side. The patient was imaged at our institution with 4 different PET radiopharmaceuticals.

How to diagnose glaucoma in myopic eyes by detecting structural changes?
Asia Pac J Ophthalmol (Phila)
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:
Myopia is rapidly escalating globally, especially in East and Southeast Asia, where its prevalence among younger populations reaches alarming levels of 80 to 90%. This surge contributes to a myopia epidemic linked to several ocular complications, including glaucoma. As myopic individuals age, the risk of developing glaucoma increases, and an additional concern arises from the growing frequency of refractive surgeries among younger individuals, making precise optic nerve assessments critical before surgery.

The United States is witnessing a demographic transformation, with the Latine population rapidly growing. As the nation's demographics evolve, the underrepresentation of Latine child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP) professionals compared to their proportion in the broader population underscores a pressing gap that requires prompt and focused efforts. This discrepancy is particularly concerning given the documented mental health inequities affecting Latine youth.

Department of Engineering, University of Exeter, Exeter EX4 4QF, UK.
A rapidly growing body of experimental evidence in the literature shows that the effects of humans interacting with vibrating structures, other humans, and their surrounding environment can be critical for reliable estimation of structural vibrations. The Interaction-based Vibration Serviceability Assessment framework (I-VSA) was proposed by the authors in 2017 to address this, taking into account human-structure dynamic interactions (HSI) to simulate the structural vibrations experienced by each occupant/pedestrian. The I-VSA method, however, had limited provisions to simulate simultaneously multiple modes of structure in HSI, to simulate human-human and human-environment interactions, and the movement pattern of the occupants/pedestrians.

The growing interest in minimal and non-invasive therapies, especially in the field of cancer treatment, highlights a significant shift toward safer and more effective options. Ablative therapies are well-established tools in cancer treatment, with known effects including locoregional control, while their role as modulators of the systemic immune response against cancer is emerging. The HIFU developed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance enables treatment precision, improves real-time procedural control, and ensures accurate outcome assessment.
