Unique neuroradiological findings in propionic acidemia
Propionic acidemia is a rare metabolic disorder that affects the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids and oddchain fatty acids. Propionic acidemia is one of the least common organic acidemias. Presented here are manifestations not previously characterized. The first case is an infant with diffuse subcortical diffusion restriction and vermian atrophy. The second case is an adolescent with asymmetric cortical volume loss and contralateral cortical diffusion restriction. These unique brain MRI findings of propionic acidemia may aid the neuroradiologist in guiding genetic testing for occult metabolic disease. Keywords: Metabolic crisis, Organic aciduria, Propionic acidemi
Osteolytic mass bridging two cervical vertebrae: Unusual presentation of a vertebral body hemangioma
Vertebral hemangioma is the most common spinal axis tumor. This rare presentation of a vertebral hemangioma extended contiguously from one cervical vertebra to another, encasing the vertebral artery, and thereby mimicking other tumors of the spine. We discuss the differential diagnosis of bridging vertebral masses
Opiate leukoencephalopathy in a pediatric patient
A 17-year-old male presented from an outside facility in acute respiratory failure and profound hypotension. He was found to have classic MRI brain findings of opiate-induced leukoencephalopathy which was corroborated with urine drug screen and history. This entity has been described in the adults but is not as well recognized in the pediatric population. As the opiate epidemic continues to evolve, this case brings heightened awareness of this disorder to pediatric radiologists. Keywords: Opiate leukoencephalopathy, Pediatric opiate intoxicatio

Taming the Emotional Dog: Moral Intuition and Ethically-Oriented Leader Development
Traditional approaches describe ethical decision-making of leaders as driven by conscious deliberation and analysis. Accordingly, existing approaches of ethically-oriented leader development usually focus on the promotion of deliberative ethical decision-making, based on normative knowledge and moral reasoning. Yet, a continually growing body of research indicates that a considerable part of moral functions involved in ethical decision-making is automatic and intuitive. In this article, we discuss the implications of this moral intuition approach for the domain of ethically-oriented leader development. Specifically, we introduce a conceptual model and develop a set of theoretical propositions, suggesting that the moral intuition perspective significantly contributes to effective ethically-oriented leader development. The discussion examines theoretical implications and practical applications of the presented propositions and outlines directions for future research
