A Case of Sporadic Multiple Colonic Polyps in a Young Woman

Seung Ho Sin, Jung Hwan Yoon, Sang Woo Kim, Won Sang Park, Hiun Suk Chae

Summary: This article reports a case of sporadic multiple colonic adenomas accompanied by an APC-truncating mutation. Mutations in the APC tumor suppressor gene have been frequently detected in colorectal adenomas, suggesting its role as a gatekeeper in colorectal carcinogenesis. The study suggests that a single truncating mutation of the APC gene may initiate adenoma formation.

A Woman With Painful Digital Ulcers

Theodora Karagounis, Michael Belmont, Avrom S. Caplan, Kristin Walter

Summary: A 66-year-old woman with a history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and chronic hepatitis-B presented to the emergency department for evaluation of digital erythema and painful finger ulcers. Physical examination revealed livedo racemosa, erythema, and retiform purpura on the palmar surfaces of her hands, ulcers on her phalangeal joint creases and fingertips, and large ulcer and erythematous papules on the dorsal surfaces. Hemoglobin level 10.5 g/dL with normal creatine kinase level. Admission for pain management and further workup was necessary.

Respiratory onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in a pregnant woman with a novel SOD1 mutation

Pegah Masrori, Simona Ospitalieri, Karin Forsberg, Thomas G. Moens, Koen Poesen, Valerie Race, Thomas Brannstrom, Peter M. Andersen, Dietmar R. Thal, Philip Van Damme

Summary: This study investigated the pathogenicity of a newly identified variant in the SOD1 gene, confirming it as a causative mutation for ALS. The findings suggest that with the rise in gene testing for ALS, more unknown pathogenic variants will be discovered, providing new directions for future treatments.

Vagus nerve stimulation for treating developmental and epileptic encephalopathy in young children

Guifu Geng, Wandong Hu, Yao Meng, Huan Zhang, Hongwei Zhang, Chuanmei Chen, Yanqing Zhang, Zaifen Gao, Yong Liu, Jianguo Shi

Summary: This study aims to investigate the clinical variables that might predict the outcome of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) after vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy and identify the risk factors for poor long-term outcome. The results suggest that DEE patients with epileptic spasms (ES) have a significant predictive value for poor long-term outcome.

Clinical Reasoning: An 82-Year-Old Woman With Subacute Ophthalmoparesis and Ataxia

Marc Rodrigo-Gisbert, Arnau Llaurado, Andres Baucells, Cristina Auger, Victoria Gonzalez

Summary: We report a case of an 82-year-old woman with subacute altered mental status, oculomotor disturbances, and ataxia. The examination revealed bilateral ptosis, complete horizontal ophthalmoplegia, limited vertical eye movements during upgaze, and prominent truncal ataxia. MRI showed mild hyperintensity in the posterior brainstem extending to the upper cervical cord without gadolinium enhancement. This case highlights the importance of comprehensive differential diagnosis and screening for malignancy in patients with subacute brainstem encephalitis, in case of negative initial workup.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy in a pregnant woman without preeclampsia or eclampsia: A case report

Yi Zhang, Bing Liang, Cuiping Zhao, Yi Zhou, Chuanzhu Yan

Summary: This case report describes a pregnant woman who developed posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) without pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, or any other known causes. The MRI showed diffuse high-signal intensity lesions in the white matter and medulla oblongata. After termination of pregnancy, the patient's symptoms improved and complete recovery was observed at the 6-month follow-up.

Clinical Reasoning: A Young Man With Subacute Onset of Spastic Paraparesis

Salvatore Rossi, Paola Concolino, Daniele Di Natale, Domizia Pasquetti, Giuseppe Maria Di Lella, Pietro Chiurazzi, Gabriella Silvestri

Summary: Leukodystrophies are rare neurodegenerative disorders that usually manifest in infancy and can cause cognitive, motor, and coordination impairments. Adult-onset cases are even rarer and pose a diagnostic challenge. In this case study, a 44-year-old man with rapidly progressive spastic paraplegia was diagnosed with leukodystrophy based on brain MRI findings. The article discusses the use of a simplified diagnostic algorithm to differentiate acquired leukoencephalopathies from leukodystrophies and the importance of genetic testing for white matter diseases. Early recognition of this treatable disorder is crucial in preventing severe neurological deterioration.

A Young Woman With Dyspnea During Cardiac Catheterization

Praveen Gupta

Summary: A woman in her mid-20s with a history of dyspnea on exertion for 2 years developed acute dyspnea and retrosternal chest pain after a pigtail catheter was placed in the left ventricle via the right femoral artery. The catheter was subsequently pulled back into the right atrium, and chest fluoroscopy was performed. What should be the next step?

Jiayu Liang, Suxin Luo, Bi Huang

Summary: SCN5A heterozygous mutations are common in patients with SSS. Our data confirms their causative role, as well as the co-occurrence of genetic arrhythmias among our patients. Genetic testing for SSS, in the context of familial and personal history of SSS with arrhythmias, can provide important clinical information.

Summary: GLP1R is a protein expressed in multiple human tissues, with GLP1R agonists commonly used as antidiabetic drugs and also showing potential neuroprotective function. iPSC lines derived from a patient with a GLP1R variant can be used as a model to study the molecular pathology of GLP1R dysfunction.

Summary: A negative spinal cord MRI should not discourage MOG-IgG testing in patients with acute/subacute myelitis. It is important to recognize that myelitis symptoms can still indicate MOG-IgG-associated myelitis even when initial MRI results are negative.

Onset of progressive motor impairment in patients with critical central nervous system demyelinating lesions

Roman M. Kassa, Elia Sechi, Eoin P. Flanagan, Timothy J. Kaufmann, Orhun H. Kantarci, Brian G. Weinshenker, Jay Mandrekar, William F. Schmalstieg, M. Mateo Paz Soldan, B. Mark Keegan

Summary: The study compared the onset of progressive motor impairment in patients with highly restricted versus unlimited CNS lesion burden. It found that the age of motor-progression onset is similar, but paradoxically earlier, in cohorts with highly restricted CNS lesion burden. The critical demyelinating lesion is a major contributor to motor-progression onset.

Summary: In patients with motor progression due to critical demyelinating lesions, the likelihood of new inflammatory activity, defined by active lesions and clinical relapses, is low. Disease-modifying therapies that reduce demyelinating relapses and active MRI lesions may have uncertain benefit in these cohorts.

Flanagan

Summary: New or enlarging MRI lesions rarely occur outside of clinical attacks in patients with MOGAD, which distinguishes it from multiple sclerosis. Surveillance MRI for MOGAD has limited usefulness in clinical practice and trial design.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the evolution of MRI T2 lesions in pediatric MOGAD, AQP4+ NMOSD, and MS. The results found that MRI T2 lesions resolved more often in MOGAD than AQP4+ NMOSD and MS in children, similar to the conclusions in adults, suggesting that these differences are related to pathogenesis rather than age.

Summary: The study investigated the timing and predictors of T2-lesion resolution in MOGAD, finding that small lesions resolved more frequently and faster than large lesions. Factors such as acute T1-hypointensity and acute steroids influenced the resolution of T2-lesions. Spontaneous resolution of T2-lesions without treatment was also observed.

Proton boron capture therapy (PBCT) induces cell death and mitophagy in a heterotopic glioblastoma model

Francesco Paolo Cammarata, Filippo Torrisi, Nunzio Vicario, Valentina Bravata, Alessandro Stefano, Lucia Salvatorelli, Simona D'Aprile, Pierangela Giustetto, Giusi Irma Forte, Luigi Minafra, Marco Calvaruso, Selene Richiusa, Giuseppe Antonio Pablo Cirrone, Giada Petringa, Giuseppe Broggi, Sebastiano Cosentino, Fabrizio Scopelliti, Gaetano Magro, Danilo Porro, Massimo Libra, Massimo Ippolito, Giorgio Russo, Rosalba Parenti, Giacomo Cuttone

Summary: Despite aggressive therapeutic regimens, glioblastoma (GBM) remains a deadly brain tumor with significant resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Proton boron capture therapy (PBCT) shows promise in increasing therapeutic effectiveness and improving the quality of life of GBM patients, by utilizing radiosensitizing agents to enhance the effects of proton beam. A preclinical evaluation of PBCT in a GBM model demonstrated increased cell death and mitophagy, validating PBCT as a scalable strategy to treat GBM.
