Early detection of arthritis is critical to prevent irreversible damage. Joint ultrasound offers high sensitivity and availability in routine clinical practice, but it has limitations. Could infrared thermography play a role?

Liver stiffness measurement is an independent risk factor for overall mortality in people with type 2 diabetes, even over just 2 years of follow-up.

Explore current imaging, serological, and immunological techniques for identifying hydatid cysts in cystic echinococcosis as well as the recent breakthroughs in recombinant antigen-based assays and nanobiosensors.

This landmark case documents the first human whole eye allotransplant following high-voltage electrical injury. Sustained globe viability and preserved outer retinal function at 1 year support its feasibility, despite absent visual perception.

A young woman with systemic lupus erythematosus presented with pain in her right thigh and restriction of hip movement, and was diagnosed with obturator neuropathy due to lupus-related lymphadenopathy.

A challenging case of Cushing syndrome with aggressive clinical manifestations. Ectopic Cushing syndrome was diagnosed and the source identified as an ACTH-negative and likely CRH-secretory renal neuroendocrine tumor.

The occurrence of two types of amyloidosis in a single patient is a rare occurrence. 18F-florbetaben PET/CT and endomyocardial biopsy were key in diagnosing cardiac amyloidosis with both light chain and transthyretin infiltration.

The radiation dose received by patients with coronary artery disease who undergo diagnostic imaging varies widely and often exceeds recommended exposure levels.

Unexplained posterior circulation ischemia may signal a vertebral artery web. This case shows that stent implantation may be an effective option for symptomatic patients refractory to medical therapy, but has a risk of in-stent restenosis.

Review innovations in continuous infusion therapies, MR-guided focused ultrasound, deep brain stimulation, and emerging cell-based approaches that are expanding treatment options for patients with Parkinson disease.

KD usually occurs in infancy, but adult-onset cases are increasingly described. KD should always be considered in very late-onset spastic paraplegia, as in this 66-year-old with concomitant cognitive decline.

Management of pediatric TB is fraught with challenges, particularly in low-resource settings. Children can present with nonspecific symptoms, diagnostics can be less reliable, and pediatric dosing requires careful consideration, as this case series highlights.

Explore the interplay between inflammation, stress, and myocardial injury in the pathophysiology of Takotsubo syndrome. Discover the diagnostic and prognostic value of multimodality imaging and novel therapies targeting inflammation.

FDG-PET/CT is invaluable in identifying synchronous infective foci, as this case of concurrent infective native aortic aneurysm and T9-T10 spondylodiscitis in an elderly patient with recurring S. enterica bacteremia, highlights.

This case of subacute inferolateral myocardial infarction secondary to coronary thrombosis occurring after adjuvant doxorubicin–cyclophosphamide therapy in a patient with breast cancer underscores the need for vigilance for uncommon, yet life-threatening, complications.

Paramagnetic rim lesions are linked to a higher long-term risk for developing clinical multiple sclerosis in people with radiologically isolated syndrome.

Review the latest advances in fluid and neuroimaging biomarkers to better stratify hemorrhagic and cognitive risks in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy, informing precision management.

A case of eosinophilic cholangitis presenting as a localized biliary stricture in a 65-year-old man. As perihilar cholangiocarcinoma could not be ruled out, the patient opted for surgical intervention.

Multimodality imaging is key for the evaluation of valvular heart disease, but large imaging volumes, workforce shortages, and laborious manual post-processing hinder timely and accurate assessment. AI could improve analysis, but how should it be implemented?

Familial thyroid cancers are well documented, but in this rare report one monozygotic twin sister had metastatic poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma and the other recurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma.
