Summary of your 'study carrel' ============================== This is a summary of your Distant Reader 'study carrel'. The Distant Reader harvested & cached your content into a collection/corpus. It then applied sets of natural language processing and text mining against the collection. The results of this process was reduced to a database file -- a 'study carrel'. The study carrel can then be queried, thus bringing light specific characteristics for your collection. These characteristics can help you summarize the collection as well as enumerate things you might want to investigate more closely. This report is a terse narrative report, and when processing is complete you will be linked to a more complete narrative report.

We present a case of a juxta-articular myxoma at the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb in a 40 year-old man. A follow-up MRI, scheduled without any clinical suspicion of tumor-recurrence, 9 months postoperatively, did not reveal any obvious recurrence. Juxta-articular myxomata (JAM) are benign soft tissue neoplasms of mesenchymal origin.

The radiomic features were extracted from enhanced MRI images, and three frequently-used machine-learning models of LC, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forests (RF) were built for four predictive tasks: (1) glioma grades, (2) Ki67 expression level, (3) GFAP expression level, and (4) S100 expression level in gliomas. CONCLUSION: The machine-learning based radiomics approach can provide a non-invasive method for the prediction of glioma grades and expression levels of multiple pathologic biomarkers, preoperatively, with favorable predictive accuracy and stability. Three machine-learning-based models (LR, SVM, and RF) were built to perform the tasks: (1) classify the glioma grades, and (2) predict the expression levels of Ki67, S100, and GFAP. The machine-learning based radiomics approach was applied to predict glioma grades and the expression levels of pathologic biomarkers Ki67, GFAP, and S100 in low or high. doi = 10.3389/fonc.2020.01676 id = cord-102474-fmq98aa8 author = Gooding, K.

On the second hand, differently to geometric parcellation methods, Rittner proposed a data-driven method based on the Watershed technique [15] . We propose a CC parcellation method based on SLIC, which is non-geometric and fully automatic superpixel segmentation technique. For the evaluation of the proposed parcellation method, we are the only study that used brain MRI scans from two public datasets. Since the Hofer and Witelson CC parcellation methods are based on geometric CC parcellation, their results did not vary among different subjects throughout the experimented dataset. doi = 10.1007/978-3-030-51517-1_10 id = cord-012651-7bllqwh1 author = Kalidindi, Kalyan Kumar Varma title = A rare cause of neurological deterioration to complete paraplegia after surgery for thoracic myelopathy: a case report date = 2019-06-05 keywords = MRI; myelopathy summary = title: A rare cause of neurological deterioration to complete paraplegia after surgery for thoracic myelopathy: a case report INTRODUCTION: Progressive deterioration of neurological status post-thoracic myelopathy surgery after a clinically stable period is rare and can pose a diagnostic dilemma. DISCUSSION: Ascending myelopathy is a potential but rare cause of delayed deterioration in neurological status after surgical intervention. SPAM has been described in the literature as an unusual cause of delayed neurological deterioration after traumatic spinal cord injury in cases where the deterioration could not be explained by mechanical instability, syrinx formation or therapeutic mis-intervention. This case report provides us with an insight into a potential cause akin to SPAM, which needs to be considered in a patient with progressive neurological deterioration after surgical decompression and stabilization for myelopathy. doi = 10.1038/s41394-019-0202-z id = cord-255240-ltatgq3e author = Kesserwani, Hassan title = Cerebral Microbleeds - To Treat or Not to Treat, That Is the Question: A Case Report With a Note on Its Radiologic Deconstruction and Therapeutic Nuances date = 2020-09-20 keywords = MRI; cmb; patient summary = We present the case of an 86-year-old woman who has a vascular dementia, Binswanger''s syndrome, and coronary artery disease, who presented with more than five CMBs. We present this case in order to highlight the dilemma of anti-platelet therapy in this group of patients and we demonstrate the cardinal radiologic features of CMBs. We then segue into the pathologic correlates of CMBs and associated risk factors. If the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner software is endowed with a left-handed reference frame such as Siemens, the CMBs appear hyperintense on the phase map. Hence one faces a therapeutic dilemma; with such extensive cerebral white matter disease and stable coronary artery disease, is anti-platelet therapy warranted in the presence of more than five CMBs? [ In the study by Lau et al., in 1811 patients who were prescribed anti-platelet therapy, the five-year risk of recurrent ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke both increased with the number of CMBs [6] . doi = 10.7759/cureus.10548 id = cord-308869-tuyac4oq author = Kido, Hidenori title = Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis) with atypical encephalitis and painful testitis: a case report date = 2017-02-01 keywords = Fujimoto; KFD; MRI summary = doi = 10.1186/s12883-017-0807-4 id = cord-289605-gvc673ij author = Klaunberg, Brenda A. title = Considerations for Setting up a Small-Animal Imaging Facility date = 2004 keywords = MIF; MRI; animal; imaging summary = doi = 10.1038/laban0304-28 id = cord-319930-ymqnb54a author = Kremer, Stéphane title = Brain MRI Findings in Severe COVID-19: A Retrospective Observational Study date = 2020-06-16 keywords = COVID-19; MRI; SARS; patient summary = doi = 10.1148/radiol.2020202222 id = cord-302862-znnlyz3y author = Lim, Peter A.C. title = Transverse Myelitis date = 2019-04-17 keywords = MRI; acute; patient; transverse summary = Following the acute management, which may include use of steroids, immunosuppressive drugs, and plasma exchange, a comprehensive medical rehabilitation program is important to optimize recovery from the resultant impairments and disabilities and manage associated complications. Factors associated with poor outcomes include severe initial symptoms with spinal shock, delayed presentation to the hospital after maximum deficits have already occurred, development of syringomyelia, and extensive MRI lesions. Patients with TM may present in the ambulatory clinic, urgent care center, or hospital setting with complaints of weakness of the limbs, sensory impairments, pain, and difficulties with the bowel and bladder.

The main neurologic imaging hallmark was acute ischemic infarcts, which were present in 34 of the 108 patients (31%) (30 [28%] on CT scans and four [20%] on MRI scans). Our study demonstrated that the neurologic imaging features of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 were variable, without a specific pattern but dominated by acute ischemic infarcts and intracranial hemorrhages. Currently, we have a poor mechanistic understanding of the neurologic symptoms in patients with COVID-19, whether these are arising from critical illness or from direct central nervous system invasion of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (10). doi = 10.1148/radiol.2020201933 id = cord-346815-4t4gr0jz author = Moshayedi, Pouria title = Triage of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Confirmed COVID-19: Large Vessel Occlusion Associated With Coronavirus Infection date = 2020-04-21 keywords = COVID-19; MRI summary = doi = 10.3389/fneur.2020.00353 id = cord-327543-kibjwfad author = Ong, S.

The EBM calculations regarding this trial show an RRR of 24%, and ARR of 11%, and an NNT of 9 patients over 2 years in order to prevent one conversion to "clinically definite MS." These two studies provide support for considering early treatment in patients presenting with first attack, in the presence of multiple asymptomatic MRI lesions, but further studies are needed to determine whether this approach will provide a prolonged benefit on disease course. doi = 10.1016/b978-141603618-0.10048-7 id = cord-011165-slu5531z author = Rabbitt, Angela L. title = Characteristics associated with spine injury on magnetic resonance imaging in children evaluated for abusive head trauma date = 2020-01-04 keywords = AHT; MRI; SDH; injury summary = doi = 10.1007/s00247-019-04517-y id = cord-345445-9t1vebey author = Radmanesh, Alireza title = COVID-19–associated Diffuse Leukoencephalopathy and Microhemorrhages date = 2020-05-21 keywords = MRI; patient summary = Diffuse leukoencephalopathy and juxtacortical and/or callosal microhemorrhages were brain imaging features in critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019.

The brain MRI showed multiple DWI lesions and corresponding ADC sequence changes which were consistent with multiple acute infarcts possibly related to hypoxic-ischemic injury from systemic perturbations and resultant tissue hypoxia. The distribution of the CT and MRI changes in our case is similar to a recent case report of acute hemorrhagic necrotizing encephalopathy in a COVID-19 patient [3] , which case, to our knowledge, was not tested for a pathological NOTCH3 mutation. The clinical features and CT and MRI changes are consistent with acute subcortical multiple infarctions which could be related to or provoked by a viral infection. Our described case is an atypical presentation of an acute COVID-19 infection in a previously asymptomatic CADASIL patient who presented with multiple infarcts and encephalopathy. doi = 10.1007/s12028-020-01119-7 id = cord-003095-m9hmv8c8 author = Zhang, Ya-Zhou title = Accuracy of MRI diagnosis of early osteonecrosis of the femoral head: a meta-analysis and systematic review date = 2018-07-04 keywords = MRI summary = Heterogeneity of the included studies were reviewed to select proper effect model for pooled weighted sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR).

While immunological markers remained unspecific and imaging findings of acute necrotizing encephalitis were absent in our patient, brain MRI disclosed a unique pattern, a.k.a. the claustrum sign. Common MRI findings in a recent study of COVID-19 encephalopathy were cortical signal abnormalities on FLAIR images (37%), accompanied by diffusion reduction, leptomeningeal enhancement and cortical blooming artifacts in some cases. MRI findings in COVID-19 encephalitis, especially when suggesting autoimmune encephalopathy may imply therapeutic interventions, such as immunosuppressive therapy. Recently, progressive clinical improvement along with a reduction of inflammatory CSF parameters has been observed in COVID-19 encephalitis, following high-dose steroid treatment [11] . In summary, a previously undescribed imaging pattern in parainfectious COVID-19 encephalitis is presented that bears a strong resemblance to MRI findings in autoimmune encephalitic syndromes, such as known from epileptic or encephalitis caused by antineuronal antibodies. doi = 10.1007/s00415-020-10185-y id = cord-000843-e1bn79ui author = nan title = ECR 2011 Book of Abstracts - A - Postgraduate Educational Programme date = 2011-03-01 keywords = CAD; CTA; CTC; DWI; FDG; MDCT; MRI; PET; RADS; cancer; clinical; contrast; diagnosis; disease; finding; high; image; imaging; lesion; objective; patient; role; technique; treatment; tumour summary = The role of radiology includes (a) characterisation of sonographically indeterminate adnexal masses, (b) staging as guidance for surgery and treatment planning (including identification of sites of non optimal resectabilty) in suspected ovarian cancer, (c) assessment of recurrent disease, and (d) in selected cases image-guided biopsy. The association of multiple markers of structural and functional imaging (MRI and PET) and the use of advanced computational analysis techniques will allow better management of AD but it needs a broader validation and know the most efficient combination of biomarkers at each stage of the disease, including the preclinical period.
