Posterolateral dislocation and incarceration of the long head of the biceps tendon: a rare cause of irreducible anterior glenohumeral joint dislocation-a case report and brief review of the literature.

Failure of closed reduction of anterior glenohumeral joint dislocation is infrequent. It can be secondary to osseous (e.g., fracture fragments or Hill-Sachs lesion) or soft tissue (e.g., labrum or rotator cuff tendon) impediments. Herein, we present a case of a prolonged irreducible glenohumeral joint secondary to a posterolaterally dislocated and incarcerated long head of the biceps tendon after an episode of anterior instability, highlight the utility of MR imaging for guiding management, and review the literature of this sporadic diagnosis.

Diagnostic performance of MRI radiomics for classification of Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, and normal subjects: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease. Early diagnosis of AD and its precursor, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), is crucial for timely intervention and management. Radiomics involves extracting quantitative features from medical images and analyzing them using advanced computational algorithms. These characteristics have the potential to serve as biomarkers for disease classification, treatment response prediction, and patient stratification. Of note, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics showed a promising result for diagnosing and classifying AD, and MCI from normal subjects. Thus, we aimed to systematically evaluate the diagnostic performance of the MRI radiomics for this task. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A comprehensive search of the current literature was conducted using relevant keywords in PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from inception to August 5, 2023. Original studies discussing the diagnostic performance of MRI radiomics for the classification of AD, MCI, and normal subjects were included. Method quality was evaluated with the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) and the Radiomics Quality Score (RQS) tools. RESULTS: We identified 13 studies that met the inclusion criteria, involving a total of 5448 participants. The overall quality of the included studies was moderate to high. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of MRI radiomics for differentiating AD from normal subjects were 0.92 (95% CI [0.85; 0.96]) and 0.91 (95% CI [0.85; 0.95]), respectively. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of MRI radiomics for differentiating MCI from normal subjects were 0.74 (95% CI [0.60; 0.85]) and 0.79 (95% CI [0.70; 0.86]), respectively. Also, the pooled sensitivity and specificity of MRI radiomics for differentiating AD from MCI were 0.73 (95% CI [0.64; 0.80]) and 0.79 (95% CI [0.64; 0.90]), respectively. CONCLUSION: MRI radiomics has promising diagnostic performance in differentiating AD, MCI, and normal subjects. It can potentially serve as a non-invasive and reliable tool for early diagnosis and classification of AD and MCI.

ALK-positive histiocytosis involving the cavernous sinus: A deceptive radiologic mimic of meningioma.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive histiocytosis is an uncommon condition, recently considered a separate condition from other histiocytosis by WHO 5th edition. It can involve intracranial structures. This manuscript describes a case of ALK-positive histiocytosis of the cavernous sinus, focusing on the radiologic and pathologic presentation of the entity. Our case had MRI manifestations mimicking meningioma, metastasis, and Langerhans histiocytosis. On CT imaging, benign osseous remodeling of the cavernous sinus was detected, which can be helpful in differentiating it from more common meningioma.
