Rim restriction surrounding the resection cavity of glioma is often seen on immediate post-op diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). The etiology and clinical impact of rim restriction are unknown. We evaluated the incidence, risk factors and clinical consequences of this finding. We evaluated patients that underwent surgery for low-grade glioma (LGG) and glioblastoma (GBM) without stroke on post-operative imaging. Analyses encompassed pre- and postoperative clinical, radiological, intraoperative monitoring, survival, functional and neurocognitive outcomes. Between 2013 and 2017, 63 LGG and 209 GBM patients (272 in total) underwent surgical resection and were included in our cohort. Post-op rim restriction was demonstrated in 68 patients, 32% (n = 20) of LGG and 23% (n = 48) of GBM patients. Risk factors for restriction included temporal tumors in GBM (p = 0.025) and insular tumors in LGG (p = 0.09), including longer surgery duration in LGG (p = 0.008). After a 1-year follow-up, LGG patients operated on their dominant with post-op restriction had a higher rate of speech deficits (46 vs 9%, p = 0.004). Rim restriction on postoperative imaging is associated with longer duration of glioma surgery and potentially linked to brain retraction. It apparently has no direct clinical consequences, but is linked to higher rates of speech deficits in LGG dominant-side surgeries.

Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare uterine malignancy that causes non-specific symptoms which presents more typically in younger women compared to other uterine sarcomas. Preoperative diagnosis of myometrial LGESS is challenging, as it is frequently mistaken for a benign uterine mass, such as a degenerating leiomyoma. Despite its rarity, the imaging findings of LGESS are highly variable, complicating the diagnostic process.

We demonstrate that at the rim of the photon sphere of a black hole, the quantum statistics transition takes place in any multi-particle system of indistinguishable particles, which passes through this rim to the inside. The related local departure from Pauli exclusion principle restriction causes a decay of the internal structure of collective fermionic systems, including the collapse of Fermi spheres in compressed matter. The Fermi sphere decay is associated with the emission of electromagnetic radiation, taking away the energy and entropy of the falling matter without unitarity violation.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent human inflammatory disease of the central nervous system with demyelination and glial scar formation as pathological hallmarks. Glial cells are key drivers of lesion progression in MS with roles in both tissue damage and repair depending on the surrounding microenvironment and the functional state of the individual glial subtype. In this review, we describe recent developments in the context of glial cell diversity in MS summarizing key findings with respect to pathological and maladaptive functions related to disease-associated glial subtypes.

Purpose: To investigate the differences of combined hepatocellular carcinoma-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA) patients with a cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) component ≥ 30% or < 30% versus intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) patients in recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) prognoses.
Methods: Patients with cHCC-CCA and iCCA after surgery were recruited. All cHCC-CCA patients were divided into two subgroups (CCA components ≥ 30% and < 30%).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how magnetic resonance imaging (MR) can help identify the specific types of fungi responsible for central nervous system (CNS) infections, comparing MR findings with microbiology and histopathology results.
- A retrospective analysis of 50 patients revealed that Aspergillus spp. was the most common cause of infection, with specific MR features like pseudo-tumoral mass behavior linked to Aspergillus and meningitis associated with yeast infections.
- The research suggests that certain MR imaging characteristics, especially dot-like foci, may indicate abscesses from dematiaceous molds, although the overall radiological features are generally non-specific.
