Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection with manifestations that can mimic other diseases, leading to misdiagnosis. Annular syphilis is a rare atypical secondary syphilitic lesion that seldomly involves the face. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection can increasingly lead to atypical manifestations of syphilis and complicate the diagnosis.

Radial head subluxation (RHS), commonly known as 'nursemaid's elbow,' typically presents in pediatric patients with acute-onset unilateral arm pain and pseudoparalysis. The classic mechanism of injury involves a longitudinal traction force pulling the radial head through the annular ligament. Bilateral RHS is exceedingly rare, with only a few cases documented in the literature; notably, all cases with a provided history and physical exam presented with the classic mechanism of injury, aiding in diagnosis and treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Atrial flutter is a heart condition that can lead to serious health issues, typically treated with medications, while more persistent cases may require ablation, a procedure that can have risks including complete heart block.* -
- A case involving a 73-year-old woman highlighted complications during ablation for atrial flutter when a heart block occurred due to catheter positioning too close to the His bundle—a critical area for heart electrical signals.* -
- The patient recovered quickly after the block but later needed a pacemaker due to severe bradycardia, emphasizing the need for careful catheter placement during ablation to avoid such complications.*
Interstitial fibrosis and arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse: Unraveling sex-based differences.
J Cardiovasc Magn Reson
December 2024
Department of Medicine (Cardiovascular Division), University of California, San Francisco, California, USA. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between interstitial fibrosis and arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse (AMVP) without including cases with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) or mitral annular disjunction (MAD), especially noting the role of female sex in this condition.
- Researchers used cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to measure extracellular volume fraction (ECV%) as a marker for interstitial fibrosis in 65 MVP cases and found that 38% were classified as AMVP.
- Results showed that AMVP patients had significantly higher global ECV% compared to non-AMVP patients, with this association being particularly strong in females, indicating a possible sex-related risk factor for arrhythmias in those with MVP.
Altered Use of Context During Visual Perception in Psychotic Psychopathology: A Neurophysiological Investigation of Tuned and Untuned Suppression During Contrast Perception.
Schizophr Bull
December 2024
Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Health Care System, Minneapolis, MN, USA.
Background And Hypothesis: The human visual system streamlines visual processing by suppressing responses to textures that are similar to their surrounding context. Surround suppression is weaker in individuals with schizophrenia (ISZ); this altered use of visuospatial context may relate to the characteristic visual distortions they experience.
Study Design: To understand atypical surround suppression in psychotic psychopathology, we investigated neurophysiological responses in ISZ, healthy controls (HC), individuals with bipolar disorder (IBP), and first-degree relatives (ISZR/IBPR).
