Perineural spread (PNS) from pelvic carcinoma has been regarded as a pathway to muscle and bone metastasis. However, few cases have been reported, especially in patients with bladder carcinoma. In the present report, we discuss a case of diffuse cancer involvement in the muscle 5 years after radical cystectomy for advanced bladder carcinoma. Carefu...

Infarction of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) can lead to ischemic stroke in the lateral medullary oblongata. PICA dissection can also elicit an ischemic event in this region, but its detection on radiological images is difficult because of the small diameter of the vessel. We report a case of Wallenberg syndrome due to PICA dissect...

Perioperative factors are useful for predicting postoperative infectious complications (PIC) in gastric cancer. Specifically, postoperative inflammatory response indicators (PIRI), [C-reactive protein (CRP) level, body temperature (BT), and white blood cell (WBC) count], are widely used in clinical practice. We investigated predictive factors for P...

Autophagy is a self-digestive process that is conserved in eukaryotic cells and responsible for maintaining cellular homeostasis through proteolysis. By this process, cells break down their own components in lysosomes. Autophagy can be classified into three categories: macroautophagy, microautophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). Macroaut...

Parathyroid tumors (PTs) are sometimes difficult to diagnose because they are small and have low-velocity blood flow, which can be missed by current imaging modalities. PTs consist of parathyroid adenoma (PA), parathyroid cyst, and parathyroid carcinoma (PC). Detective flow imaging (DFI) is a new imaging technology that displays low-velocity blood ...

Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare disease in which an autoantibody causes bleeding by interacting with and inhibiting the coagulation activity of endogenous factor VIII (FVIII). Most cases of AHA are idiopathic; known causes include autoimmune diseases, malignant tumors, pregnancy, drugs, and viral infections. An 86-year-old man was diagnosed w...
