Clinical and prognostic value of18F-FDG-PET/CT in restaging of pancreatic cancer

Aim The aim of this retrospective multicentre study was to evaluate the clinical and prognostic effect of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG)-PET/computed tomography (CT) in the restaging process of pancreatic cancer (PC). Materials and methods Data from patients treated for primary PC, who underwent18F-FDG-PET/CT for suspicious of disease progression, were collected. Accuracy was assessed employing conventional diagnostic procedures, multidisciplinary team case notes, further18F-FDG-PET/CT scans and/or follow-up. Receiver operating characteristic curve and likelihood ratio (LR+/-) analyses were used for completion of accuracy definition. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival were assessed by using Kaplan-Meier method. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify predictors of outcome. Results Fifty-two patients (33 males and 19 females, with mean age of 59 years and range: 42-78 years) with PC were finally included in our study. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of18F-FDG-PET were 85, 84, 90, 76, and 84%, respectively. Area under the curve was 0.84 (95% confidence intervals: 0.72-0.96; P6 h=4.2, P=0.02) and death (PET positivity hazard ratio=3.5, P=0.02; SUVmax>6 h=3.7, P=0.01). Conclusion18F-FDG-PET/CT showed high diagnostic accuracy for restaging process of PC, proving also its potential value in predicting clinical outcome after primary treatment

The cooking therapy for cognitive rehabilitation of cerebellar focal lesions.

The neurorehabilitation of cerebellar damage in neurological patients (i.e., stroke or multiple sclerosis) remains sparsely studied. This case report is aimed at providing evidence on the development of a new cognitive approach targeting cerebellar functions. We hope that our paper will stimulate an interesting scientific debate (http://neurosciencenews.com/chef-neurobiology-6196/), which comes from our previous study demonstrating the tight relationship between cooking activity and the cerebellar functioning: (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0171457; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jns.2018.01.037)

Diffusivity of Cerebellar Hemispheres Enables Discrimination of Cerebellar or Parkinsonian Multiple System Atrophy from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy–Richardson Syndrome and Parkinson Disease

PURPOSE: To explore the usefulness of histogram analysis of mean diffusivity (MD) derived from diffusion-weighted imaging of large infratentorial structures to distinguish parkinsonian syndromes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Local research ethics committee approval and informed consent were obtained. Ten patients with Parkinson disease (PD), nine with the parkinsonian variant of multiple system atrophy (MSA-P), seven with the cerebellar variant of MSA (MSA-C), 17 with progressive supranuclear palsy-Richardson syndrome (PSP-RS), and 10 healthy subjects were recruited. Histograms of MD values were generated for all pixels in the whole infratentorial compartment and separately for the whole brainstem, vermis, and cerebellar hemispheres. To assess the differences in MD values among groups, the Kruskal-Wallis test was used, followed by the Mann-Whitney U test for pairwise comparisons. All P values resulting from pairwise comparisons were corrected with the Bonferroni method. RESULTS: MSA-P and MSA-C groups had higher median MD values (P < .01) in the brainstem and cerebellum when compared with other groups; this finding was in line with the known consistent neurodegenerative damage in posterior cranial fossa structures in these diseases. Median MD values from cerebellar hemispheres were used to discriminate patients with MSA-C and those with MSA-P from patients with PD and those with PSP-RS (P < .01; sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value equaled 100%). Furthermore, patients with PSP-RS had significantly higher MD values in the vermis than did healthy subjects (P < .05) and patients with PD (P < .001). CONCLUSION: These findings support the clinical usefulness of diffusion imaging in the differential diagnosis of parkinsonism, suggesting that the minimally operator-dependent histogram analysis of the infratentorial structures and particularly of the whole cerebellar hemispheres can be used to distinguish patients with MSA-P and those with MSA-C from patients with PSP-RS and those with PD

Spastic paraplegia with thinning of the corpus callosum and white matter abnormalities: Further mutations and relative frequency in ZFYVE26/SPG15 in the Italian population

Spastic paraplegia with thinning of the corpus callosum (ARHSP-TCC) is a relatively frequent form of complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia in which mental retardation and muscle stiffness at onset are followed by slowly progressive paraparesis and cognitive deterioration. Although genetically heterogeneous, ARHSP-TCC is frequently associated with mutations in the SPG11 gene, on chromosome 15q. However, it is becoming evident that ARHSP-TCC can also be the clinical presentation of mutations in ZFYVE26 (SPG15), as shown by the recent identification of eight families with a variable phenotype. Here, we present an additional Italian ARHSP-TCC patient harboring two new, probably loss-of-function mutations in ZFYVE26. This finding, together with the report of a mutation in another Italian family, provides confirmation that ZFYVE26 is the second gene responsible for ARHSP-TCC in the Italian population.
