Background: Third epidermoid tumors are a rare finding. The appearance of these tumors often makes them difficult to diagnose, and thus they require multimodality imaging.
Case Summary: A 48-year-old male patient reported to our hospital with complaints of vomiting and severe headache. The patient also complained of involuntary micturition for the past five days. We used a combination of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging modalities to confirm the presence of a malignant epidermoid cyst arising from the third ventricle. A contrast-enhanced CT of the head demonstrated minimal perilesional enhancement while an MRI revealed a large, lobulated and septated T2 hyperintense mass arising from the third ventricle. The maximum size of the lesion measured 73 mm × 65 mm × 64 mm in size.
Conclusion: Malignant epidermoid arising from the third ventricle in an adult male was reported using a combination of CT, MRI, and MR spectroscopy.

Background: With the development of artificial intelligence (AI), medicine has entered the era of intelligent medicine, and various aspects, such as medical education and talent cultivation, are also being redefined. The cultivation of clinical thinking abilities poses a formidable challenge even for seasoned clinical educators, as offline training modalities often fall short in bridging the divide between current practice and the desired ideal. Consequently, there arises an imperative need for the expeditious development of a web-based database, tailored to empower physicians in their quest to learn and hone their clinical reasoning skills.

Background/objectives: Hypothyroidism can profoundly affect growth, particularly if it insidiously arises during early childhood. Congenital hypothyroidism is now detected through newborn screening, significantly improving the overall growth outcomes of these children. Conversely, acquired hypothyroidism often results in delayed somatic growth and shorter stature, with many affected children initially remaining non-symptomatic.

Background: Mutations in the ABO gene, including base insertions, deletions, substitutions, and splicing errors, can result in blood group subgroups associated with the quantity and quality of blood group antigens. Here, we employed third-generation PacBio sequencing to uncover a novel allele arising from an intron splice site mutation, which altered the expected A phenotype to manifest as an Ael phenotype. The study aimed to characterize the molecular mechanism underlying this phenotypic switch.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a significant inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that typically arises from chronic inflammation of the intestinal tract. Report suggest that anti-inflammatory drug plays a crucial role in the protection of UC. The recent study demonstrated that columbianadin has a protective effect against UC induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in rats through the modulation of HO-1/Nrf2 and TLR4-NF-κB signaling pathways.
