A 69-year-old lady with 2 renal cell carcinomas, one sited at the upper pole of her solitary right kidney, underwent percutaneous image-guided cryoablation and developed urinothorax as a complication. This was diagnosed from pleural fluid analysis and radiology imaging with computed tomography (CT). Management included image-guided chest drain and retrograde ureteric stent insertion to divert the urine from entering the pleural cavity. CT images demonstrated a fistula between the site of renal puncture and the pleural cavity, indicating that the cryoprobes traversed the diaphragm during the procedure. This case highlights urinothorax as an unusual complication of cryoablation of renal cell carcinoma. Prompt diagnosis by interventional radiologists is crucial to avert from this potentially life-threatening complication.White cord syndrome is a rare condition involving sudden neurological deterioration following a decompressive cervical spinal surgery and characterized by the appearance of hyperintensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. We present a report of a pediatric male patient who presented with the condition. This case shows that white cord syndrome can also be present in pediatric patients. We provide a brief review of the literature highlighting the main radiologic findings.Our case involved a 1-year-old female with multiple admissions for chest infections. Given her family history and high clinical suspicion, a diagnosis of Griscelli syndrome and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis was made. Her work-up included a brain MRI, which revealed diffuse volume loss and corpus callosum hypogenesis associated with a diffuse simplified pattern of the sulci and gyri compatible with lissencephaly. We describe hypogenesis of the corpus callosum and lissencephaly for the first time in this syndrome.Metastatic brain tumors are the rare cause of intracerebral hemorrhage in the young. In this study, we present a case of a 24-year-old woman who suffered from brain and lung metastatic choriocarcinoma with intracerebral hemorrhage as initial presentation. Head computed tomography showed an irregular hematoma of the right frontal lobe and enlarged within 1 month. Cp2-SO4 mw Chest X ray showed a mass in the right lung. This patient responded well with combined treatment with craniotomy for evacuation of hematoma, multidrug chemotherapy and lobectomy. This case report discusses a rare phenomenon of hemorrhage metastasis in the brain from choriocarcinoma. The better knowledge of this entity would facilitate earlier diagnosis and improve the outcome.Pulmonary involvement in Sjogren syndrome (SS) could manifest as cystic lung disease (CLD). CLD in SS includes lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP) and pulmonary amyloidosis. Differential diagnosis usually requires surgical lung biopsy, whereas CT-guided percutaneous fine needle aspiration biopsy (CT-FNAB) has not yet explored. We describe the case of a 63-year-old never smoker Caucasian female with a SS diagnosis who displayed a newly detected diffuse CLD at high-resolution computed tomography, though totally asymptomatic. Given the favorable location of one big lesion at the superior left lobe, a CT-FNAB was proposed instead of a more invasive SLB. At histology examination a diagnosis of pulmonary nodular AL kappa amyloidosis in the context of SS was established. In conclusion, CT-FNAB might represent an alternative and less invasive diagnostic procedure than SLB in the differential diagnosis of CLD, even if further research is needed. Moreover, this case presents an unusual association between SS and pulmonary nodular AL kappa amyloidosis, with pulmonary nodules and cysts without systemic manifestations.Pancreas is an exceptionally rare location for desmoid tumors. There are very few case reports of pancreatic fibromatosis in the English radiology literature. We present a case of a 45-year-old male with a mixed solid and cystic desmoid tumor of the pancreas which was surgically resected and was followed by recurrence in the mesentery. This will be the first case report of pancreatic desmoid with documented recurrence of fibromatosis in the mesentery which was also surgically resected and confirmed on pathology. In this case report, we discuss this entity's radiological findings with pathology correlation, clinical findings and management along with literature review.We studied the effect of two inconsistent emotions, fear and hope, in strategic decision-making during a competition. We sought to examine which emotion will be more related to whether decision-makers accurately and objectively estimate their rival We developed a nuanced perspective on the effects of trait anxiety on rival estimation by integrating it with the competition shadow. Using a competition simulation and basing on data from 221 individuals across two countries, we found support for a predicted effect of trait anxiety on rival estimation. Several theoretical implications are discussed.This article reports an investigation of how inhibition contributes to fluid reasoning when it is decomposed into the reasoning ability, item-position, and speed components to control for possible method effects. Working memory was also taken into consideration. A sample of 223 university students completed a fluid reasoning scale, two tasks tapping prepotent response inhibition, and two working memory tasks. Fixed-links modeling was used to separate the effect of reasoning ability from the effects of item-position and speed. The goodness-of-fit results confirmed the necessity to consider the reasoning ability, item-position, and speed components simultaneously. Prepotent response inhibition was only associated with reasoning ability. This association disappeared when working memory served as a mediator. Taken together, these results reflect the inhomogeneity of what is tapped by the fluid reasoning scale on one hand and, on the other, suggest inhibition as an important component of working memory.Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on the safety of chia seeds in foods subject to thermal processing which may result in the formation of process contaminants. The safety assessment of this novel food (NF) is based on previous assessments of chia seeds by the EFSA NDA Panel, information received from a public call for data by EFSA and information retrieved from an extensive literature search performed by EFSA. In 2019, during the overall safety assessment of chia seeds, the NDA panel retrieved one reference which, among others, investigated the formation of process contaminants, i.e. acrylamide, hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural, in wheat flour-based biscuits with added chia seeds flour. Based on this study, the Panel considers that there is a potential for substantial acrylamide formation in biscuits with 10-20% added chia seeds flour with low residual moisture contents (≤ 2%). The Panel is not aware of further scientific evidence corroborating these findings.
