Published: December 2017

Purpose: Multimodal imaging has not been documented for CABP4-related retinopathy. In this study, we describe optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus autofluorescence findings for five genetically confirmed cases.

Methods: Retrospective case series.

Results: Four patients with the previously described homozygous Saudi CABP4 founder mutation c.81_82insA (p.Pro28ThrfsX44) and one patient with the homozygous mutation c.1A>G (p.Met1?) in CABP4 were examined. The ages ranged between 9 and 16 years at last follow-up, and the duration of follow-up ranged from 2 to 12 years. Foveal thickness was reduced ranging between 175 and 212 micrometers. Wide field imaging including fundus autofluorescence was unremarkable. All patients presented with a negative electroretinogram, with a variable amount of cone and rod dysfunction. Over follow-up, there was no electroretinographic indication of any progressive retinal dysfunction.

Conclusions: Foveal thinning is a feature of CABP4 retinopathy. Normal autofluorescence is consistent with inner retinal dysfunction and suggests the condition could be amenable to gene therapy. Retinal dysfunction was stable throughout follow-up.

Purpose: HER2 expression is crucial for the application of HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugates. This study aims to construct a predictive model by integrating multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) based multimodal radiomics and the Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) score for noninvasive identification of HER2 status in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC).

Methods: A total of 197 patients were retrospectively enrolled and randomly divided into a training cohort (n = 145) and a testing cohort (n = 52).

Risk prediction for elderly cognitive impairment by radiomic and morphological quantification analysis based on a cerebral MRA imaging cohort.

Institute of PLA Geriatric Medicine, The Second Medical Center & National Clinical Research Center for Geriatric Diseases, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China.

Objective: To establish morphological and radiomic models for early prediction of cognitive impairment associated with cerebrovascular disease (CI-CVD) in an elderly cohort based on cerebral magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).

Methods: One-hundred four patients with CI-CVD and 107 control subjects were retrospectively recruited from the 14-year elderly MRA cohort, and 63 subjects were enrolled for external validation. Automated quantitative analysis was applied to analyse the morphological features, including the stenosis score, length, relative length, twisted angle, and maximum deviation of cerebral arteries.

Background: The Knight Alzheimer Research Imaging (KARI) dataset, a compilation of data from projects conducted at Washington University in St. Louis, represents a comprehensive effort to advance our understanding of Alzheimer disease (AD) through multimodal data collection. The overarching goal is to characterize normal aging and disease progression to contribute insights into the biological changes preceding AD symptom onset.

Surgical and multimodal approaches to right-sided cardiac tumours.

Curr Opin Cardiol

January 2025

Division of Cardiac Surgery, Peter Munk Cardiac Centre, Toronto General Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Purpose Of Review: Cardiac tumours present significant clinical challenges due to their wide differential, complex anatomical and physiological implications, as well as the potential for widespread invasion in the case of malignancies. This review synthesizes recent findings surrounding the diagnosis and management of specifically right-sided cardiac tumours, with a particular focus on surgical resection and reconstructive techniques.

Recent Findings: Management of cardiac tumours can be categorized into three key phases.
