The widespread use of diagnostic radiography, especially using magnetic resonance imaging, has helped to increase the diagnosis of paralabral cysts in patients with chronic shoulder pain. These paralabral cysts are frequent in the anterior, the superior, and the posterior compartment of the shoulder joint but are rare in the inferior compartment. Paralabral cysts in the shoulder appear particularly in men in their third and fourth decades but rarely in elderly patients. We report a case of an inferior paralabral cyst in an elderly patient whom we treated through arthroscopic decompression.

Purpose: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a relatively common malignancy of the urinary tract. Over the past few decades, methodologies for diagnosing and managing patients with RCC have shown various developmental stages. This study was designed to provide insights into RCC research trends over that period. Materials and Methods: To understand RCC research trends over the past 30 years, we conducted a bibliometric analysis, an appropriate method for evaluating scholarly output. Data were acquired by searching the Web of Science for articles published between 1991 and 2020. Bibliometric analysis and VOSviewer were used to visualize and statistically analyze the research trends. Results: A total of 18,172 articles were identified. The most productive country was the United States (n=4,461, 26.5%), followed by China (n=3,503, 19.9%), and Japan (n=1,950, 11.9%). During keyword analysis, 3 clusters were identified, relating to gene expression, surgical outcomes, and immunotherapy. Over the last 10 years, research has mostly focused on emerging immunotherapy-related drugs. Conclusions Our bibliometric analysis has explained the characteristics of RCC research trends over the past 30 years.

PURPOSE: To present initial and follow-up HRCT findings of lymphangitic carcinomatosis of the lung. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Both initial and follow-up HRCT scans were obtained in 18 patients with lymphangitic carcinomatosis of the lung. After dividing the patients into two groups (with anticancer chemotherapy (n=12) and without chemotherapy (n=6), changes of pulmonary parenchymal abnormalities (percentile increase or decrease in the extent of each pattern) were assessed and compared on initial and follow-up HRCTs. RESULTS: Findings on initial CT were interlobular septal thickening (n=18) (smooth in 15 and mixed smooth and nodular in three), thickening of bronchovascular bundles (n=17), areas of ground-glass opacity (n=15), polygonal lines (n=15), and nodules (n=10). With chemotherapy, the finding of polygonal lines decreased by 20/3%, while findings of ground-glass opacity, bronchovascular bundle thickening, septal thickening, and nodules remained stable. Without chemotherapy, all CT patterns of abnormalities except nodules increased by 45-88%. In three patients who did not undergo chemotherapy, smooth interlobular septal thickening changed to nodular thickening. CONCLUSION: Lymphangitic carcinomatosis of the lung manifests initially as smooth thickening of the interlobular septae, bronchovascular bundle thickening,areas of ground-glass opacity, and polygonal lines, as seen on HRCT. Without chemotherapy, the extent of CT findings increases and there is a tendency for smooth septal thickening to change to nodular thickening. Chemotherapy induces improvement or cessation of the progression of CT findings.

BACKGROUNDS: Temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (TLE-HS) is not always intractable to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). To identify the responsiveness to AEDs and related clinical factors in TLE-HS, we performed this study. METHODS: Consecutive 100 (51 men, mean age=30.2+/-6.6, age range=19-50) patients with TLE-HS were divided into two groups by their responsiveness to AEDs. Intractable TLE-HS was defined if they had any seizures for the preceding year with at least two AEDs. Clinical factors were analyzed to find the association of the responsiveness to AEDs. RESULTS: Intractable TLE-HS was found in 68% of patients. The younger age of onset (12+/-4 vs. 31+/-8 years, p<0.0001), longer duration of epilepsy (17+/-6 vs. 2+/-1 years, p<0.0001), more than five tonic-clonic seizures (GTCs) with secondary generalization (29.4 vs. 6.3%, p=0.0009) and bilateral epileptiform abnormalities on EEG (30.9 vs 6.3%, p=0.0054) were significantly correlated with the intractable TLE-HS. According to multiple logistic regression analysis, bilateral epileptiform abnormalities on EEG (adjusted OR=9.4, 95% CI: 1.98~44.76) and more than five GTC (adjusted OR=7.7, 95% CI: 1.60~33.39) were independently related with poor responsiveness to AEDs in TLE-HS. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of hippocampal sclerosis does not necessarily mean intractability to AEDs. The clinical variables related with the poor response to ADEs in TLE-HS are more than five GTCs and bilateral epileptiform abnormalities on EEG.
