- The review aims to evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of contrast-enhanced CT and MRI for detecting acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in emergency care settings.
- A comprehensive search identified 2,619 studies, out of which four were eligible, involving 635 patients, but all had a high risk of bias in diagnosing PID.
- The results indicated that contrast-enhanced CT has a sensitivity of 79% and specificity of 99%, while MRI has a higher sensitivity of 95% but a lower specificity of 89%, with both imaging techniques showing uncertain reliability for accurate diagnosis.
Background: Patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) present with a variety of physical and mental symptoms, including visual hallucinations, delusions, depression, rapid eye sleep movement behavior disorder, and olfactory dysfunction. This study describes another interesting psychiatric symptom, which seems to be characteristic of DLB, in many patients who visited the author's psychogeriatrics department for neurocognitive disorders or psychogeriatric diseases.
Methods: The clinical courses of seven representative cases of DLB, each of which included episodes of this interesting psychiatric symptom, are described to clarify the commonalities they shared.

Materials And Methods: Four cognitive function tests - Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), word recall, Digit Symbol Substitution (DSS) and Stroop Color Word - were carried out in 67 patients. Renal impairment was defined as the presence of albuminuria and a decline in estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.
