Purpose Of The Report: This study investigated the prevalence and clinical characteristics of suspected non-Alzheimer disease pathophysiology (SNAP) across varying cognitive statuses and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) burden.
Patients And Methods: We included 1992 participants with cognitive status categorized as cognitively unimpaired, mild cognitive impairment, or dementia. β-amyloid (Aβ, A) positivity was assessed by Aβ PET, and neurodegeneration (N) positivity was determined through hippocampal volume. Participants were further divided by the presence or absence of severe CSVD. The clinical and imaging characteristics of A-N+ (SNAP) group were compared with those of the A-N- and A+N+ groups.
Results: SNAP participants were older and had more vascular risk factors compared with A-N- and A+N+ in the CSVD(-) cohort. SNAP and A+N+ showed similar cortical thinning. At the dementia stage, SNAP had a cognitive trajectory similar to A+N+ in the CSVD(-) cohort. However, SNAP exhibited less cognitive decline than A+N+ in the CSVD(+) cohort.
Conclusions: SNAP is characterized by distinct clinical and imaging characteristics; however, it does not necessarily indicate a benign prognosis, particularly at the dementia stage. These findings highlight the need to assess SNAP in relation to the cognitive stage and CSVD presence to better understand its progression and guide interventions.

Tuberculosis is a common disease in India but even then Primary tuberculosis of Thyroid gland is an extremely rare clinical scenario. Diagnosis of this rare disease requires very high level of clinical suspicion as the clinical features have no distinct characteristics and usually mimic with bacterial thyroiditis, thyrotoxicosis, thyroid carcinoma, lymphoma etc. Historically most of patients were diagnosed through histopathology in post operative thyroidectomy specimens.

Duplication-triplication/inverted-duplication (DUP-TRP/INV-DUP) is one of the mechanisms that causes genomic triplications. There are some characteristics of the DUP-TRP/INV-DUP; the appearance of a moving average of signal log2 ratio in genomic copy number analysis consisting of the highest center with lower steps on both sides; the chromosomal structure is composed of only two junctions; there are inverted repeats at the ends of the triplications and duplications on the same side and those connected in the opposite direction; and the size of the DUP-TRP/INV-DUP structure is generally less than the 1-Mb range. In this study, we analyzed two patients with DUP-TRP/INV-DUP involving PLP1 and MECP2.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) in detecting unilateral and bilateral intra-glandular prostate cancer lesions.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 73 prostate cancer patients diagnosed via biopsy, all of whom underwent both Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and mpMRI prior to surgery. Two independent readers, blinded to each other's results and to pathology findings, evaluated the imaging modalities to make a diagnosis of unilateral (left or right) or bilateral lesions for suspected prostate lesions.

Background Although artificial intelligence is actively being developed for prostate MRI, few studies have prospectively validated these tools. Purpose To compare the diagnostic performance of a commercial deep learning algorithm (DLA) and radiologists' clinical reports for cancer detection in participants from two hospitals using histopathologic findings from biopsy specimens as the reference standard. Materials and Methods This prospective bicenter study enrolled participants suspected of having prostate cancer (PCa) who were scheduled for biopsy based on clinical information, including prostate MRI, from December 2022 to July 2023.

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is a useful method for investigating cholesteatomas since it may be performed without the need for a contrast agent and can prevent unnecessary "second look" operations. This study aims to evaluate the role of DWI-MRI in monitoring residual or recurrent disease and preventing second look procedures when physical examination is difficult or CT is ambiguous. This single centric, cross-sectional study was conducted on 33 patients with suspected cases of attico-antral disease at a tertiary sector, subjected to DWI sequence of MRI for a study period of 1.
