Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of malignant melanomas. Immunotherapy is associated with multi-system toxicities, which are referred to as immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Positron emission tomography (PET) with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and CT is the preferred imaging modality to monitor disease progression in melanoma. FDG uptake by a sarcoid-like reaction (SLR) can mimic cancer progression, thereby posing a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. We present the case of a 39-year-old patient with malignant melanoma on immunotherapy who presented with PET scan findings of adenopathy with increased uptake. This case highlights the challenges in interpreting PET scan in the setting of an SLR.Introduction The need to streamline patient management for coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has become more pressing than ever. Chest X-rays (CXRs) provide a non-invasive (potentially bedside) tool to monitor the progression of the disease. In this study, we present a severity score prediction model for COVID-19 pneumonia for frontal chest X-ray images. Such a tool can gauge the severity of COVID-19 lung infections (and pneumonia in general) that can be used for escalation or de-escalation of care as well as monitoring treatment efficacy, especially in the ICU. Methods Images from a public COVID-19 database were scored retrospectively by three blinded experts in terms of the extent of lung involvement as well as the degree of opacity. A neural network model that was pre-trained on large (non-COVID-19) chest X-ray datasets is used to construct features for COVID-19 images which are predictive for our task. Results This study finds that training a regression model on a subset of the outputs from this pre-trained chest X-ray model predicts our geographic extent score (range 0-8) with 1.14 mean absolute error (MAE) and our lung opacity score (range 0-6) with 0.78 MAE. Conclusions These results indicate that our model's ability to gauge the severity of COVID-19 lung infections could be used for escalation or de-escalation of care as well as monitoring treatment efficacy, especially in the ICU. To enable follow up work, we make our code, labels, and data available online.Ganglioneuromas are slow-growing hamartomatous tumors that are rarely found in the colon. There are three subtypes of ganglioneuromas polypoid ganglioneuroma, ganglioneuromatous polyposis, and diffuse ganglioneuromatosis. They are differentiated depending on their endoscopic and histological characteristics. Patients with colonic ganglioneuroma may present with nonspecific symptoms; however, they are usually asymptomatic. We present a case of hematochezia, where an ascending colon ganglioneuroma was found incidentally on diagnostic colonoscopy. We will explain how to distinguish the three subtypes of ganglioneuroma on colonoscopy and will mention the genetic disorders associated with them. We will also discuss the treatment of ganglioneuromas.Mammary hamartoma is a rare type of breast tumor that is composed of the same elements as normal mammary tissue. This condition is very rare in men. In current literature, there are fewer than five case reports on male breast hamartoma. This benign pathology is under-reported because of several reasons. Since breast tumors are still considered an exclusively female diagnosis and statistically proven to be gynecomastia when arising in men, they are often overlooked. In addition to the uncommon clinical presentation in men, insufficiency of definitive pathologic and radiologic characteristics can make an accurate diagnosis a challenging task. Mammary hamartoma is a benign condition with an excellent prognosis. The following case describes a rare instance of an enlarging mammary hamartoma in a male patient, highlighting the imaging features, pathohistological findings, and clinical management.We describe the remarkable case of a medically healthy right-handed 15-year-old boy who developed an ischemic infarct of the banks of the right parieto-occipital sulcus (POs). The etiology of this infarct was undetermined, that is, cryptogenic. However, the focus of this article is functional neuroanatomy, as our patient developed a specific entity; an optic flow motion deficit characterized by slow self-motion of the left half of his body (egomotion) and slow motion of the surroundings (allocentric motion) together constituting the Zeitraffer phenomenon. We describe the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the dorsal visual stream and correlate the localization of this type of infarct in our patient with the known functional neuroanatomy. Although lesional studies in Macaque monkeys and functional MRI studies in humans have documented the clinical-functional correlations of POs lesions and perceived motion deficits, our case is one of the very first human cases in the literature that pinpoints the Zeitraffer phenomenon to a specific and strategic circumscribed ischemic stroke in the region of the POs.Boxer's fracture is the fifth metacarpal neck fracture resulting from direct trauma to the clenched fist. Worldwide, this type of fracture is the most typical presentation to emergency departments. The management of fifth metacarpal fractures varies from one setting to another. Conservative management is the preferred option for closed, non-angulated, non-malrotated fractures while open fractures, significant angulation, rotational deformity, and intra-articular extension are recognised indications for surgical intervention. The scope of this article covers the results of a literature review examining the management strategies for such fractures.Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a worldwide pandemic. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/pf-07104091.html Evidence suggests a strong association between COVID-19 and pro-thrombotic states. We report our experience in managing a patient with COVID-19 complicated by a right atrial thrombus. We highlight the successful use of half-dose anticoagulation in the treatment of right atrial thrombus in a patient with COVID-19. To our knowledge, this is a first reported case of right atrial thrombus in a COVID-19 patient who was treated successfully with half-dose anticoagulation.
