A schwannoma is a tumor that arises from the Schwann cells of the peripheral nerves. Primary pulmonary schwannomas are extremely rare, although they can occur anywhere in the body. Symptoms of endobronchial schwannoma vary depending upon the extent of bronchi blockage by the tumor. Schwannoma is a benign tumor. However, there is a risk of recurrence if a lesion that has developed extraluminal growth is incompletely resected. Here, a 76-year-old female patient presented with dyspnea and cough. An endobronchial tumor was identified originating from the left lower lobe bronchus and had collapsed the left lower lobe and grown to block most of the left main bronchus. Video-assisted thoracic surgery was performed to resect the left lower lobe. The tumor was diagnosed as an ancient schwannoma.

Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation enhances cognition in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Whereas conventional treatment requires daily sessions for 4-6 weeks, accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) shortens the treatment course to just 3 days, substantially improving feasibility of use in people with MCI. We conducted a Phase I safety and feasibility trial of iTBS in MCI, finding preliminary evidence of cognitive improvement.

Objectives: Physical function assessments in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are important indicators for assessing the effectiveness of treatment and changes over time in rehabilitation therapy. However, few reports exist on this indicator. This study calculated the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for assessing motor function in the upper and lower limbs of individuals with SMA to estimate the degree of change within a functional score that is considered clinically meaningful.

Cardiology, Lower Bucks Hospital, Bristol, USA.
Inferior vena cava (IVC) anomalies are rare congenital pathologies related to variations of agenesis, hypoplasia, or atresia, predisposing patients to thromboembolic events secondary to an alteration in venous drainage with resultant stasis. This is a case report of a 27-year-old male without significant medical history presenting for a fall after playing recreational basketball with associated pain and swelling in his left lower extremity. After his symptoms progressively worsened, he came to the emergency room for an evaluation where an ultrasound (US) of the extremity showed extensive deep vein thromboses (DVT).

Introduction: Hyperuricemia (HU) is associated with an increased risk of incident heart failure (HF) and adverse HF outcomes. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have a greater prevalence of HU.
Aims: We evaluated the prognostic impact of HU in patients with HF according to the coexistence of DM.
