Abdominal CT and colonoscopy are important for the diagnosis of intussusception and abdominal lipomas. Surgical resection remains the treatment of choice.<br /><br />We describe the difficulties in diagnosis and treatment of this rare cause of intussusception and review the literature on adult intussusceptions. The ileal lipoma is a very rare cause of ileocolic intussusception. Abdominal CT and colonoscopy are important for the diagnosis of intussusception and abdominal lipomas. Surgical resection remains the treatment of choice.<br /><br /> Sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) is a chronic progressive idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, with characteristic rimmed vacuoles and sarcoplasmic abnormal tau protein deposits. THK5317, an F-labelled positron emission tomography (PET) marker, targets tau protein deposits, which are expressed in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). It is assumed that THK5317 PET/MRI may also depict tau protein in the skeletal muscles of patients with sIBM. Here we introduced a novel application of tau PET in diagnosis of sIBM in a rare case.<br /><br /> We presented a 46-year-old woman who suffered from progressive lower limb weakness for one and a half year.<br /><br /> Needle electromyography showed myogenic damage. Characteristic myopathological changes of sIBM were discovered, and abnormal tau protein deposits were identified by tau immunostaining. Genetic testing ruled out the GNE myopathy, a hereditary distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles. The patient was finally diagnosed as sIBM.<br /><br /> We performed [F] THK5317 PET/MRI on the patient.<br /><br /> There were significantly increased tau uptake levels in the quadriceps muscles of sIBM patient. The uptake levels of tau in the quadriceps were significantly higher than that in the posterior group of thigh muscles, which was consistent with the distribution characteristics of involved muscle groups.<br /><br /> [F] THK5317 PET can reveal muscular tau deposition in vivo, which provides a new and noninvasive diagnostic method for sIBM and offers the opportunity to monitor the progression of tau pathology along with muscle impairment.<br /><br />[F] THK5317 PET can reveal muscular tau deposition in vivo, which provides a new and noninvasive diagnostic method for sIBM and offers the opportunity to monitor the progression of tau pathology along with muscle impairment.<br /><br /> An extremely rare spontaneous pseudoaneurysm (PSA) of the posterior tibial artery (PTA) in a middle-aged male patient was cured by open surgery effectively.<br /><br /> A 53-year-old man presented with the increasing swollen left shank for 1 day, with intermittent pain, pulselessness and pallor. He denied the history of trauma, infection, and other diseases.<br /><br /> Physical examination, past medical history, ankle brachial index, ultrasonography, computed tomographic angiography (CTA), 3-dimensional reconstruction image of the popliteal artery and its branches and histological examination of intraluminal thrombus and clots helped us diagnose the patient as spontaneous PSA of PTA.<br /><br /> Our patient underwent excision of PSA and repair operation of PSA.<br /><br /> The patient recovered well at 2-year follow-up.<br /><br /> This rare case provides valuable insights for tissue repair and vascular surgery. Therapeutic methods should be in accordance with the best interest of patient. Open surgery is the effective treatment for spontaneous PSA of PTA.<br /><br />This rare case provides valuable insights for tissue repair and vascular surgery.

Open surgery is the effective treatment for spontaneous PSA of PTA.<br /><br /> Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) are separate clinical entities with distinct pathophysiological features. But in some special conditions PRES and RCVS can occur simultaneously.<br /><br /> We report the unique case of a 40-year-old female presented with crescendo headache, blurred vision, and recurrent generalized tonic-clonic seizure. She had a minor neck injury 1 week before but attracted no more attention. [https://www.selleckchem.com/products/protac-tubulin-degrader-1.html compound W13 cell line] Neurological tests on admission yielded a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 13. No obvious focal neurological deficit apart from positive signs of meningeal irritation was presented.<br /><br /> Xanthochromia and hemorrhagic cerebrospinal fluid with pleocytosis was found on lumbar puncture. Cranial computed tomography was negative but magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated bilateral areas of vasogenic edema in the parieto-occipital lobes and cerebellum consistent with PRES. An incidental subacute spinal subdural hematoma extending from the level of C6ay the major pathophysiologic role.<br /><br />Clinician should be aware of spinal subdural hematoma as the potential trigger in development of PRES and RCVS. We speculate that endothelial dysfunction and vascular tone dysregulation may be implicated to play the major pathophysiologic role.<br /><br /> Pilar cyst mainly occurs on the scalp, but pilar cyst on the dorsum of hand has not been reported. Herein, we provide information to improve the clinical cognition of pilar cyst location.<br /><br /> A 76-year-old man presented with a round nodule on the opisthenar of his right hand for two months without any subjective symptoms.<br /><br /> Histological features of the lesion biopsy indicated the diagnosis of pilar cyst.<br /><br /> Surgical resection was made under local anesthesia.<br /><br /> Complete recovery was achieved after surgery.<br /><br /> Pilar cyst rarely occurs on the dorsum of hand and its diagnosis depends on histopathological examinations. Surgical resection is the only way to treat it.<br /><br />Pilar cyst rarely occurs on the dorsum of hand and its diagnosis depends on histopathological examinations. Surgical resection is the only way to treat it.<br /><br /> The distal radius is the region of the body with the highest incidence of physeal injury. However, it is uncommon for the distal radius to undergo growth arrest without a history of trauma. We present a case of premature closure of the distal radial physis without evident history of trauma in a girl.<br /><br /> A 14-year-old girl presented with chronic progressive deformity and painful functional limitation of her right forearm. The right wrist pain had begun when the patient was 5 years old. There was no evident history of trauma. The deformity and persistent right wrist pain had prevented her from performing sports activities and activities of daily living.<br /><br /> Radiography and computed tomography showed a volarly angulated distal radius and dorsally protruding distal ulna with a length discrepancy between the distal radius and ulna due to premature physeal closure of the right distal radius.<br /><br /> To eliminate the deformity and achieve painless functional recovery of the wrist, an opening wedge osteotomy of the distal radius with an iliac bone graft was performed, followed by a shortening osteotomy of the distal ulna.
