Abstract

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a diverse group of tumors with varying clinical behaviors. Their incidence has risen due to increased awareness, improved diagnostics, and aging populations. The 2019 World Health Organization classification emphasizes integrating radiology and histopathology to characterize NENs and create personalized treatment plans. Imaging methods like CT, MRI, and PET/CT are crucial for detection, staging, treatment planning, and monitoring, but each of them poses different interpretative challenges and none are immune to pitfalls. Treatment options include surgery, targeted therapies, and chemotherapy, based on the tumor type, stage, and patient-specific factors. This review aims to provide insights into the latest developments and challenges in NEN imaging, diagnosis, and management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Humans have a long history of transporting and trading plants, contributing to the evolution of domesticated plants. Theobroma cacao originated in the Neotropics from South America. However, little is known about its domestication and use in these regions. In this study, ceramic residues from a large sample of pre-Columbian cultures from South and Central America were analyzed using archaeogenomic and biochemical approaches. Here we show, for the first time, the widespread use of cacao in South America out of its native Amazonian area of origin, extending back 5000 years, likely supported by cultural interactions between the Amazon and the Pacific coast. We observed that strong genetic mixing between geographically distant cacao populations occurred as early as the middle Holocene, in South America, driven by humans, favoring the adaptation of T. cacao to new environments. This complex history of cacao domestication is the basis of today's cacao tree populations and its knowledge can help us better manage their genetic resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

12. Adult intestinal intussusception: can abdominal MDCT distinguish an intussusception caused by a lead point?

Abstract

Abstract: Background: Aim of our study was to assess the ability of computed tomography to distinguish between an intussusception with a lead-point from one without it. Methods: Approval was granted by the Institutional Review Board. Ninety-three consecutive patients diagnosed with an intussusception on abdominal CT were classified with or without lead-point by surgery, clinical or radiological follow-up. Two radiologists blinded to the classification independently reviewed the CT images for predefined predictive variables. Results: Non-lead-point intussusception was shorter in length (mean 4.9 vs. 11.1 cm for Reader 1 (R1); mean 4.0 vs. 8.9 cm for Reader 2 (R2), respectively, P < 0.001), smaller in axial diameter (mean 3.0 vs. 4.8 cm for R1; mean 2.8 vs. 4.4 cm for R2, P < 0.001, respectively), less likely associated with obstruction (P = 0.002 R1; P = 0.039 R2) and infiltration (P < 0.001 for R1, P = 0.003 R2) than lead-point intussusception. Conclusions: Abdominal CT is helpful in distinguishing between an intussusception with a lead-point from one without a lead-point. Length, axial diameter, and their product, as well as obstruction and infiltration, all suggest the presence of a lead-point. Analysis of CT findings can reduce unnecessary imaging follow-up or operation.
