The actual role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in evaluating primary brain lymphoma is still an open issue. Brain lymphoma usually show elevated 18F-FDG uptake, often higher than other brain tumors or inflammatory processes, but the metabolic behavior of this lymphoma is not still understood. Central nervous system lymphoma is a rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma in which malignant (cancer) cells from lymph tissue form in the brain and/or spinal cord (primary CNS) or spread from other parts of the body to the brain and/or spinal cord (secondary CNS). A 55-year-old man presented with headache. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed a well-enhanced mass lesion in the left frontal lobe. A surgical specimen obtained through left orbito-pterional craniotomy revealed a Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL).

Muscular dystrophy is a group of multiple inherited diseases that damage muscles with time and causes a partial or complete loss of movement. It happens due to the lack of protein dystrophin, which is important for normal muscle functioning. The most common type of muscular dystrophy is Duchenne muscular dystrophy which appears at an early age and progresses with time. Frequent falls, difficulty rising from a sitting or lying position, difficulty running and improper gait, large calf muscles, and concentration problems are all common symptoms of the disease. Diagnosis is usually made on presenting complaints and elevation of CPK-3 in blood.

1.1. Background: Avoiding injury of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) is one of the major challenges during thyroid surgery, especially in transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA). This study aimed to investigate the protective strategies of the EBSLN during TOETVA.

Lipoma, a common soft tissue tumor composed of mature adipose tissues, can occur in any part of the body with fat. Accounting for 8.4% of primary heart tumors [1], the lipoma in the heart is rare, and the most common sites are the right atrium, left ventricle, and pericardium [2,3]. Most patients with cardiac lipomas have no symptoms, and some may experience palpitations, syncope, or even cardiac arrest [4, 5].

1.2. Methods: 16 of the male students at the Babol Islamic Azad University as subjects in this study were selected and randomly divided into four groups: a control group, Salvia officinalis groups, exercises group and exercises and Salvia officinalis group. The experimental group consisted of 8 weeks of endurance training three times a week. The dependent variable of this study is included TSH, T3, T4, testosterone and cortisol. Blood samples from after 12 hours fast and before and after 8 weeks (48 hours after the last training session) were collected.

Liposclerosing Myxofibrous Tumor (LSMFT) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion with distinct clinical and radiological features, characterized by a complex mixture of histologic elements, including its fibrous dysplasia-like features, lipoma, myxofibrous tissue, ischemic ossification, xantoma features and pseudo- Paget’s bone patterns. Most lesions are discovered incidentally, but patients can present with bone pain or fracture.
