AI Article Synopsis
- A 64-year-old man, previously treated for prostate cancer, showed an increase in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels after surgery.
- The patient underwent 18 F-DCFPyL PET/CT, revealing a brain lesion linked to prostate-specific membrane antigen, alongside an MRI that showed a small hematoma in the left frontal lobe.
- Despite having experienced a seizure three weeks prior, the patient remained asymptomatic, and subsequent MRI scans exhibited a natural decrease in the size of the hematoma without any medical intervention.
Article Abstract
A 64-year-old man with history of prostate cancer was found to have rising prostate-specific antigen after radical prostatectomy. 18 F-DCFPyL PET/CT demonstrated a prostate-specific membrane antigen-avid brain lesion in the left frontal lobe and no other findings to account for rising prostate-specific antigen. Brain MRI demonstrated a small intraparenchymal hematoma with late subacute features in this location. The patient reported a seizure 3 weeks before but was otherwise asymptomatic, and neurologic examination was normal. Follow-up MRI demonstrated gradual decrease in size of the hematoma without treatment.

Endophenotype presentation of athletes with concussion contingent on sex and time since injury.

Introduction: Athletes with concussions experience heterogeneous symptoms and clinical trajectories. Subclassification provides diagnostic clarity that may improve prognostication and individualized treatments.
Methods: We hypothesized that endophenotypes of adolescent athletes with concussions differ based on sex and time since injury.

Puerperal inversion of uterus is a catastrophic and a rare complication, which occurs during the third stage of labour. It can lead to severe haemorrhage and shock which results in maternal morbidity and mortality. When diagnosed correctly, early cases can be managed by manual reposition, but neglected and late cases need surgery.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in severe motor and sensory deficits, leading to significant disability. Preclinical studies and retrospective studies suggest that a critical window of enhanced neuroplasticity may exist immediately after SCI, during which therapeutic interventions could yield greater functional improvements. The impact of time interval since SCI on efficacy of rehabilitation has not been directly assessed and is the focus of this clinical trial.

Second stage of labor is considered to be associated with an increased risk of intrapartum fetal hypoxic injury. This is due to a combination of several risk factors such as -the increased frequency, strength and duration of uterine contractions due to higher number and affinity of myometrial oxytocin receptors; -the Ferguson's reflex which leads to a reflex release of endogenous oxytocin in response of the distension of the cervix by descending fetal head in late stages of labor; maternal expulsive efforts with the Valsalva manoeuvre that may reduce maternal oxygenation, as well as reduce the venous return and maternal cardiac output due to increased intrathoracic pressure, winch may lead to reduced placental oxygenation; - and increased fetal intracranial pressure due to head compression leading to a potential decrease in fetal cerebral oxygenation. In addition, the umbilical cord often forms one or more loops around the fetal neck, which may get tightened as the head descends leading to an acute and intermittent cessation of fetal oxygenation.

The patient was a 69-year-old right-handed woman. She had sensory aphasia, and the brain MRI revealed a subacute phase hemorrhage in the left subcortical temporal lobe. We speculated that the patient had post-ictal aphasia due to symptomatic epileptic seizures associated with cerebral hemorrhage.
