    Abstract Cancer has and continues to be a complex health crisis plaguing millions around the world. Alcohol ablation was one of the initial methods used for the treatment of liver lesions. It was surpassed by thermal ablation which has played a big role in the therapeutic arsenal for primary and metastatic liver tumors. However, thermal ablation has several shortcomings and limitations that prompted the development of alternative technologies including electroporation and histotripsy. Percutaneous alcohol injection in the liver lesion leads to dehydration and coagulative necrosis. This technology is limited to the lesion with relative sparing of the surrounding tissue, making it safe to use adjacent to sensitive structures. Electroporation utilizes short high-voltage pulses to permeabilize the cell membrane and can result in cell death dependent on the threshold reached. It can effectively target the tumor margins and has lower damage rates to surrounding structures due to the short pulse duration. Histotripsy is a novel technology, and although the first human trial was just completed, its results are encouraging, given the sharp demarcation of the targeted tissue, lack of thermal damage, and potential for immunomodulation of the tumor microenvironment. Herein, we discuss these techniques, their uses, and overall clinical benefit.

    Abstract Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common liver malignancy with limited treatment options. Previous studies expressed the potential synergy of sorafenib and NK cell immunotherapy as a promising approach against HCC. MRI is commonly used to assess response of HCC to therapy. However, traditional MRI-based metrics for treatment efficacy are inadequate for capturing complex changes in the tumor microenvironment, especially with immunotherapy. In this study, we investigated potent MRI radiomics analysis to non-invasively assess early responses to combined sorafenib and NK cell therapy in a HCC rat model, aiming to predict multiple treatment outcomes and optimize HCC treatment evaluations.
    Methods: Sprague Dawley (SD) rats underwent tumor implantation with the N1-S1 cell line. Tumor progression and treatment efficacy were assessed using MRI following NK cell immunotherapy and sorafenib administration. Radiomics features were extracted, processed, and selected from both T1w and T2w MRI images. The quantitative models were developed to predict treatment outcomes and their performances were evaluated with area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve. Additionally, multivariable linear regression models were constructed to determine the correlation between MRI radiomics and histology, aiming for a noninvasive evaluation of tumor biomarkers. These models were evaluated using root-mean-squared-error (RMSE) and the Spearman correlation coefficient.
    Results: A total of 743 radiomics features were extracted from T1w and T2w MRI data separately. Subsequently, a feature selection process was conducted to identify a subset of five features for modeling. For therapeutic prediction, four classification models were developed. Support vector machine (SVM) model, utilizing combined T1w + T2w MRI data, achieved 96% accuracy and an AUROC of 1.00 in differentiating the control and treatment groups. For multi-class treatment outcome prediction, Linear regression model attained 85% accuracy and an AUC of 0.93. Histological analysis showed that combination therapy of NK cell and sorafenib had the lowest tumor cell viability and the highest NK cell activity. Correlation analyses between MRI features and histological biomarkers indicated robust relationships (r = 0.94).
    Conclusions: Our study underscored the significant potential of texture-based MRI imaging features in the early assessment of multiple HCC treatment outcomes.

    Abstract Brown-Sequard Syndrome is a neurologic disorder caused by partial spinal cord injury and disruption of the corticospinal tract, dorsal columns, and spinothalamic tract. We present a 32-year-old male with partial T11-12 cord transection due to a penetrating knife injury. In addition to the classical neurological symptoms of Brown-Sequard Syndrome, he also exhibited ipsilateral peripheral vasodilatation below the level of injury. This finding is attributed to the disruption of the intermediolateral columns of the spinal cord and impaired sympathetic tone on the peripheral vasculature. Awareness of this finding can raise the radiologist's suspicion for spinal cord injury in the setting of trauma and peripheral vasodilation.

    Abstract Treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is challenging. Several randomized clinical trials are investigating the efficacy of systemic therapy, immunotherapy, and locoregional therapy as monotherapy or combined with other modalities in the treatment of HCC. Systemic therapy is the preferred treatment in advanced disease. To date, multiple first-line and second-line agents received Food and Drug Administration approval. For over a decade, sorafenib was the only first-line agent. In May 2020, combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab has been approved as a first-line systemic regimen. Lenvatinib is another first-line agent that has multikinase activity. Second-line agents include cabozantinib, regorafenib, ramucirumab, and nivolumab. Adoptive cell transfer therapy is a highly specific immunotherapy that has shown antitumor activity against HCC. Oncolytic viruses are genetically modified viruses that infect cancer cells and induce apoptosis. Locoregional therapies such as transarterial chemoembolization and radioembolization have shown a potential benefit in selected patients with advanced HCC. In this review, we aim to summarize the treatment options available for advanced HCC.

    Abstract Drug-eluting embolic transarterial chemoembolization (DEE-TACE) improves the overall survival of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the agents used are not tailored to HCC. Our patented liposomal formulation enables the loading and elution of targeted therapies onto DEEs. This study aimed to establish the safety, feasibility, and pharmacokinetics of sorafenib or regorafenib DEE-TACE in a VX2 model. DEE-TACE was performed in VX2 hepatic tumors in a selective manner until stasis using liposomal sorafenib- or regorafenib-loaded DEEs. The animals were euthanized at 1, 24, and 72 h timepoints post embolization. Blood samples were taken for pharmacokinetics at 5 and 20 min and at 1, 24, and 72 h. Measurements of sorafenib or regorafenib were performed in all tissue samples on explanted hepatic tissue using the same mass spectrometry method. Histopathological examinations were carried out on tumor tissues and non-embolized hepatic specimens. DEE-TACE was performed on 23 rabbits. The plasma concentrations of sorafenib and regorafenib were statistically significantly several folds lower than the embolized liver at all examined timepoints. This study demonstrates the feasibility of loading sorafenib or regorafenib onto commercially available DEEs for use in TACE. The drugs eluted locally without release into systemic circulation.
