Clinical validity and reproducibility of a visual rating scale for cingulate island sign in a real-world memory clinic: An FDG-PET/MRI study.
Eur J Neurol
January 2025
Padova Neuroscience Center (PNC), University of Padova, Padova, Italy.
Purpose: Brain [18F]FDG-PET is a supportive biomarker for cognitive impairment in Lewy bodies disease (LBD) showing reduced occipital metabolism and presence of the cingulate island sign (CIS), a relative preservation of posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) metabolism compared with precuneus and cuneus. We assess validation, clinical utility, and reproducibility of a qualitative visual CIS scale in the differential diagnosis with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in a memory clinic setting.
Methods: Sixty-seven patients were studied: 36 LBD, of whom 30 with dementia (DLB) and 6 with mild cognitive impairment (MCI-LB), and 31 AD (20 typical and 11 atypical presentations).
Insulinoma: Unraveling the Mystery of a Stealthy Culprit.

Insulinoma, a rare pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, stealthily lurks within the pancreas, often evading detection until its distinctive symptom, recurrent hypoglycemia, comes to the surface. This case report aims to highlight the significance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of this uncommon neuroendocrine tumor by discussing the diagnostic, therapeutic, and follow-up difficulties encountered in an older adult presenting with atypical symptoms of insulinoma.

In this article, we present a case study of a five-year-old girl with autism and developmental delay, conducted at the Academic Center for Autism Research in Bratislava, Slovakia. The girl was diagnosed using Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Second Edition (ADOS-2) and Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) instruments and met the criteria for autism spectrum disorder. Intellectual functioning was in the markedly below-average range, as indicated by the Snijders-Oomen Nonverbal Intelligence Test-Revised (SON-R) examination, and her level of adaptive functioning was significantly reduced.

Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic illness. Blood testing for tissue transglutaminase antibodies is the initial screening test for the diagnosis of CD, and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and duodenal/jejunal biopsy are used to confirm CD. Intussusception (IS) is the process in which a proximal segment of the bowel invaginates through the lumen of a distal segment.

Background: Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a rare, life-threatening disorder characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and end-organ damage. Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is even less common, comprising less than 10% of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) cases. aHUS in postpartum is associated with poor maternal outcomes, with the majority of cases resulting in end-stage renal disease.
