    Abstract A wide range of imaging manifestations of liver metastases can be encountered, as various primary cancers preferably metastasize to the liver (organ-specific metastases), with the imaging characteristics largely depending on various primary tumor-specific factors such as histopathologic category, degree of tumor differentiation, histologic behavior, and intratumor alterations. Characteristic imaging features potentially can help provide a more precise diagnosis in some clinical settings. These settings include those of

    Abstract We report a case of ruptured low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm with an impressive toy puffer ball-like appearance on magnetic resonance imaging. A 79-year-old woman with lower abdominal pain underwent computed tomography scanning, revealing a 6-cm mass in the right lower abdomen. T2-weighted images showed a radial low-signal structure in the central area of the mass, which was presumed to be fibrotic. Pathology confirmed ruptured low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm. The rupture point was at the tip of the appendix, coinciding with the center of radial fibrosis. The unique morphology of the puffer ball-like appearance in this case may be a characteristic of low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms.

    Abstract Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is a disorder of methylmalonic acid metabolism caused by impaired methylmalonyl CoA mutase. Neuroimaging shows symmetric hypodensity on CT, and T2 prolongation on MRI in the globus pallidus; however, there have been only a few reports on MR spectroscopy findings and no previous reports on arterial spin labeling (ASL), both of which could reflect neurochemical derangement in MMA. We herein report an 18-month-old Sri Lankan boy presented with severe acute exacerbation of MMA due to bacteremia of

    Abstract Importance: Women with a high level of autistic traits in the general population may experience larger health disparities during pregnancy, particularly women diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which in turn may be associated with increased risk of adverse birth outcomes.
    Objective: To investigate the association between maternal autistic traits and the risk of adverse birth outcomes in the general population.
    Design, setting, and participants: This cohort study included mothers of singletons from a nationwide, multicenter prospective birth cohort, the Japan Environmental Children's Study. Expecting mothers were recruited between January 2011 and March 2014. Data were analyzed between June 2021 and November 2023.
    Exposures: Autistic traits were self-reported during the second and third trimesters using the short form of the Autism-Spectrum Quotient Japanese version (AQ-J10) (score range, 0-10; clinical range, ≥7).
    Main outcomes and measures: Data on preterm birth (<37 weeks' gestation) and neonates born small for gestational age (SGA) were transcribed from medical records. Additional analysis of gestational age groups (very preterm birth, <32 weeks' gestation; moderate-to-late preterm birth, 32-36 weeks' gestation) was also performed.
    Results: Among 87 687 women (mean [SD] age, 31.2 [5.0] years) included in the study, 2350 (2.7%) had AQ-J10 scores within the clinical range yet only 18 (0.02%) were diagnosed with ASD. A higher AQ-J10 score was associated with an increased risk of all birth outcomes, including preterm births (relative risk [RR] per 1-SD increase, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.03-1.09), moderate-to-late preterm births (RR per 1-SD increase, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.01-1.08), very preterm births (RR per 1-SD increase, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.06-1.26), and child born SGA (RR per 1-SD increase, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.01-1.06) after adjusting for maternal and pregnancy-related factors. The risks of all outcomes increased with higher AQ-J10 scores; compared with women below the clinical range, women within the clinical range had greater risk of preterm births (RR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.07-1.26), moderate-to-late preterm births (RR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.03-1.22), very preterm births (RR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.18-1.89), and a child born SGA (RR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.04-1.19).
    Conclusions and relevance: In this cohort study, higher level of maternal autistic traits was associated with increased risk of adverse birth outcomes, particularly very preterm birth. Acknowledging the risks and providing tailored and timely antenatal care support to women with a high level of autistic traits in the general population, particularly women with autistic traits within the clinical range, regardless of formal diagnosis, is warranted.

    Abstract Background: Infantile traumatic brain injury (TBI) with a biphasic clinical course and late reduced diffusion (TBIRD) has been reported as a type of TBI. However, it remains uncertain which pediatric patients with TBI develop TBIRD.
    Methods: Patients with TBI who were admitted to our hospital and underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between December 2006 and October 2022 were included in this study. A diagnosis of TBIRD was made in patients with or suspected TBI, with initial symptoms being convulsions or disturbance of consciousness and late-onset subcortical reduced diffusion, the so-called bright tree appearance. Clinical features, neuroimaging (computed tomography (CT) and MRI) findings, laboratory data, and Tada score were retrospectively compared between TBIRD and non-TBIRD patients. Neurological prognosis was assessed using the Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category scale.
    Results: Of 21 patients who met the inclusion criteria, a diagnosis of TBIRD was made in 7 patients (median age: 8 months). The factors contributing to TBIRD development were seizures lasting over 30 min as the initial symptom (5/7 in TBIRD vs. 0/14 in non-TBIRD), tracheal intubation during initial treatment (5/7 vs. 0/14), and brain parenchymal lesions on CT (3/7 vs. 0/14), suggesting that severe TBI may progress to TBIRD. The Tada score was more positive in patients with TBIRD (6/7) than in those without (0/14).
    Conclusions: It is important to monitor infant patients with severe TBI for the development of TBIRD. The Tada score can be a useful tool for TBIRD prediction.

    Abstract Patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) procedures often experience high levels of uncertainty. In this study, we developed and implemented a nursing intervention program to help patients recognize and reduce pre-transplant uncertainty. This study used a pretest-posttest single-group design without a control group. Eighteen patients undergoing HSCT participated in the intervention program-which included informational support, confirmation that the patients understood the information provided, and emotional support. Outpatients received the intervention at their initial outpatient visits after their procedure dates were determined, while inpatients received it at discharge following their procedures. The Universal Uncertainty in Illness Scale (UUIS), which consists of 26 items and six subscales, was used as the primary outcome measure. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used as secondary outcome measures. The sample included 18 individuals (13 male and five female participants; median age, 52 years). Most participants had acute lymphoblastic leukemia and had previously undergone bone marrow transplantations. Following our intervention, the total UUIS score significantly decreased, from 80.83 ± 18.42 before the intervention to 63.06 ± 23.53 afterward (

    Abstract T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is a rare hematologic cancer with a dismal prognosis. Although a small number of patients have central nervous system (CNS) involvement, a standard treatment approach for these patients has not been established. Herein, we present a case of T-PLL with CNS involvement that was treated with a higher dose of intrathecal alemtuzumab than that previously reported. A 66-year-old man who had T-PLL with CNS involvement was admitted to our hospital. Intravenously administered alemtuzumab, a monoclonal antibody against the CD52 antigen, successfully reduced leukemia cells in peripheral blood; however, intrathecal treatment with methotrexate, cytarabine, and prednisone had a limited effect on the CNS involvement. Therefore, we intrathecally injected alemtuzumab as an experimental treatment. Although we escalated the dose of intrathecal alemtuzumab up to 5 mg, no adverse reaction was noted; however, this treatment did not completely clear the leukemia cells from the patient's cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We performed whole brain and whole spinal irradiation therapies and subsequently performed allogeneic transplantation from a human leukocyte antigen-matched sibling donor with a conditioning regimen containing total body irradiation. At 21 days after transplantation, leukemia cells remained in his CSF. Although intrathecal alemtuzumab did not eliminate the CNS-invading leukemia cells, it was well-tolerated in our case. Further accumulation of similar cases is needed to determine the benefits and safety of intrathecal alemtuzumab administration.
