Qualitative and Quantitative Evaluation of the Image Quality of MDCT Multiphasic Liver Scans in HCC Patients.

The quality of CT images obtained from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients is complex, affecting diagnostic accuracy, precision, and radiation dose assessment due to increased exposure risks. The study evaluated image quality qualitatively and quantitatively by comparing quality levels with an effective radiation dose to ensure acceptable quality accuracy. This study retrospectively reviewed 100 known HCC patients (Li-RADS-5) who underwent multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) multiphasic scans for follow-up of their health condition between January and October 2023.

Synthesis, antimicrobial and anti-cancer activities of some new N-ethyl, N-benzyl and N-benzoyl-3-indolyl heterocycles.

A series of 1-(N-substituted-1H-indol-3-yl)-3-arylprop-2-ene-1-ones (2a, b-4a, b) were prepared and allowed to react with urea, thiourea or guanidine to give pyrimidine derivatives 5a, b-13a, b. Reaction of 2a, b-4a, b with ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of a base gave cyclohexanone derivatives 14a, b-16a, b. Reaction of the latter compounds with hydrazine hydrate afforded indazole derivatives 17a, b-19a, b.

Synthesis of some new 4,6-disubstituted-1,2,4-triazin-3,5(2H) diones and related compounds of potential antifungal activity.

The synthesis of 4-substituted amino-6-styryl/alkyl/aryl-1,2,4-triazin- 3,5(2H)diones (4a-d and 15) involving the cyclocondensation of N4-arylaminosemicarbazides(3a-d and 13) with some alpha-ketoacids is described. The behaviour of these triazinones towards amine, hydrazine, isothiocyanate, aromatic aldehyde and gl. acetic acid have been investigated.
