Purpose: To report the findings supported by multimodal imaging in a case of secondary vitreoretinal lymphoma presenting with inner retina and optic nerve head infiltration.
Observations: A 64-year-old man with systemic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presented with reduced visual acuity. Moderate anterior chamber and vitreous cell were present. Fundus exam showed bilateral disc edema and diffuse opaque macular infiltrates with a pseudo cherry-red spot in the left eye. Optical coherence tomography showed inner retinal infiltration and loss of normal architecture. Surgery for tissue biopsy was discussed and declined due to risk. Instead, multimodal imaging and anterior chamber fluid sampling were used as a surrogate for tissue biopsy and helped rule out infectious uveitis and retinal vascular disease. The patient was empirically treated with intravitreal methotrexate with rapid improvement in vision, exam, and quality of life.
Conclusions And Importance: Multimodal imaging can support a presumed diagnosis of secondary vitreoretinal lymphoma in order to proceed with intravitreal methotrexate treatment, which can result in rapid clinical and visual improvement.

Proteomics Reveals Mechanisms of Delayed Keratoconus Progression: A Study of Corneas Following Two Light-Activated Crosslinking Treatments.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the biological changes in rabbit corneas caused by two light-activated corneal stiffening methods: riboflavin with UVA and WST11 with NIR.
- Differentially expressed proteins were identified following treatments, showing RF-D/UVA affected cell metabolism and keratocyte differentiation, while WST-D/NIR influenced extracellular matrix regulation.
- The findings reveal a metabolic shift towards glycolysis in RF-D/UVA treated corneas compared to normal respiration in WST-D/NIR treated corneas, highlighting the distinct biological effects of each treatment.
Incisional PSMA PET/CT-positive recurrences in prostate cancer- is there an implication on clinical care?

Oligorecurrent prostate cancer (PCa) can be treated with metastasis-directed therapy (MDT), which may be performed using radioguided surgery (RGS) as an experimental approach. These procedures have shown promising outcomes, largely due to the high lesion detection rate of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). We present a case series of patients who underwent RGS following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Background: Pathological grade is a critical determinant of clinical outcomes and decision-making of follicular lymphoma (FL). This study aimed to develop a deep learning model as a digital biopsy for the non-invasive identification of FL grade.
Methods: This study retrospectively included 513 FL patients from five independent hospital centers, randomly divided into training, internal validation, and external validation cohorts.
Multimodal Artificial Intelligence Model for Prediction of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Shrinkage After Endovascular Repair ( the ART in EVAR study).

Department of Vascular Surgery, Rijnstate, Arnhem, The Netherlands.
Purpose: The goal of the study described in this protocol is to build a multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) shrinkage 1 year after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).
Methods: In this retrospective observational multicenter study, approximately 1000 patients will be enrolled from hospital records of 5 experienced vascular centers. Patients will be included if they underwent elective EVAR for infrarenal AAA with initial assisted technical success and had imaging available of the same modality preoperatively and at 1-year follow-up (CTA-CTA or US-US).
MRI-based intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics for assessing deep myometrial invasion in patients with early-stage endometrioid adenocarcinoma.

Department of MRI, The First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province, The Affiliated Hospital of Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming, Yunnan, China.
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics models for predicting deep myometrial invasion (DMI) of early-stage endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EAC).
Methods: The data of 459 EAC patients from three centers were retrospectively collected. Radiomics features were extracted separately from the intratumoral and peritumoral regions expanded by 0 mm, 5 mm, and 10 mm on unimodal and multimodal MRI.
