Abstract Primary angiosarcoma is extremely rare malignant tumor that has no typical symptoms and progress rapidly with poor prognosis. It is mesenchymal in origin and observed most frequently in the right atrium, cases in the pericardium is much more rare. Only few can detected in the early-stage allowing complete radical resection with a mean survival of 3 months to 1 year. There is few pericardial angiosarcoma reported among these years. The present study reports a case of a 44-year-old woman with primary pericardial angiosarcoma, who underwent a wide range of imaging methods, including transthoracic echocardiography, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MRI). The patient recovered well after operation in two years and died due to the recrudescence and pulmonary metastases in April, 2020. We report the case for its rarity and revealing the early detection of primary pericardial angiosarcoma with imaging examinations is critical for prognosis. Finally a literature review is done.

And Training

Computerized auditory training (CAT) is a convenient, low-cost approach to improving communication of individuals with hearing loss or other communicative disorders. A number of CAT programs are being marketed to patients and audiologists. The present literature review is an examination of evidence for the effectiveness of CAT in improving speech perception in adults with hearing impairments. Six current CAT programs, used in 9 published studies, were reviewed. In all 9 studies, some benefit of CAT for speech perception was demonstrated. Although these results are encouraging, the overall quality of available evidence remains low, and many programs currently on the market have not yet been evaluated. Thus, caution is needed when selecting CAT programs for specific patients. It is hoped that future researchers will (a) examine a greater number of CAT programs using more rigorous experimental designs, (b) determine which program features and training regimens are most effective, and (c) indicate which patients may benefit from CAT the most.
