We report the case of a 62-year-old male on long-term hemodialysis who was admitted to our hospital due to acute cerebral infarction associated with a cardiac calcified amorphous tumor (CAT). The patient presented with recurrent episodes of syncope and retrograde amnesia. Brain MRI identified multiple acute cerebral infarctions, while transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed a 2.

Introduction: POT1 tumor predisposition (POT1-TPD) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by increased lifetime malignancy risk. Melanoma, angiosarcoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia are the most frequently reported malignancies [1]. Protection of telomeres protein 1 (POT1) is part of the shelterin protein complex to maintain/protect telomeres [2].

Clinical Insight into Congenital Hypothyroidism Among Children.

Children (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Endocrinology, Izmir Faculty of Medicine, University of Health Sciences, 35210 Izmir, Turkey.

Molecular, genetic, and technological advances have led to increased knowledge regarding neonatal thyroid hormone metabolism disorders. Maternal and fetal hypothyroidism, which can cause psychomotor dysfunction syndromes or low IQ levels, can lead to brain damage, reduced fetal growth and incidental fetal death. The treatment of congenital hypothyroidism detected by screening programs performed during the neonatal period provides normalization of growth, IQ levels, and the physical, mental, and motor development of infants.

An 8-year-old girl with refractory high-risk neuroblastoma underwent 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT to evaluate the feasibility of potential 177Lu-DOTATATE therapy. The scan showed multiple foci of abnormal 68Ga-DOTATATE accumulation in the bone region, indicating the presence of bone metastases. Unexpectedly, an abnormal tracer uptake was noted in the left lateral ventricle area.

Memory consolidation from a reinforcement learning perspective.

Front Comput Neurosci

January 2025

Center for Synaptic Brain Dysfunctions, Institute for Basic Science, Daejeon, Republic of Korea.

Memory consolidation refers to the process of converting temporary memories into long-lasting ones. It is widely accepted that new experiences are initially stored in the hippocampus as rapid associative memories, which then undergo a consolidation process to establish more permanent traces in other regions of the brain. Over the past two decades, studies in humans and animals have demonstrated that the hippocampus is crucial not only for memory but also for imagination and future planning, with the CA3 region playing a pivotal role in generating novel activity patterns.
