While invasive monitoring is the gold standard for assessing ICP, it carries risks and is not always feasible. This study proposes a novel noninvasive parameter using computed tomography (CT) imaging.

- Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (PFD) is a rare, noncancerous bone disorder that results in abnormal bone formation, leading to deformities and functional issues.
- A 32-year-old man was diagnosed with leontiasis ossea, a severe form of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia, after presenting with distinct facial abnormalities confirmed through imaging and tissue analysis.
- The case highlights the challenges in diagnosing and treating PFD, emphasizing the importance of teamwork among healthcare professionals for effective patient management.
Introduction Preeclampsia is a serious complication marked by antepartum hemorrhage, resulting in severe maternal and fetal complications. Predicting this condition using placental dysfunction assessments, such as uterine artery Doppler ultrasound, is challenging due to the placenta's evolving structural and biochemical characteristics throughout different stages of pregnancy. Objectives To determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of the uterine artery Doppler Pulsatility Index (PI) and Resistive Index (RI) in predicting preeclampsia.

- Zinner syndrome (ZS) is a rare urogenital condition featuring unilateral renal agenesis, blockage of the corresponding ejaculatory duct, and the presence of a cyst in the same-sided seminal vesicle.
- Three male patients (21, 20, and 24 years old) were diagnosed with ZS through imaging techniques like ultrasound, CT, and MRI, which showed kidney issues and cystic changes in the seminal vesicle.
- All patients underwent surgery that improved their symptoms and overall quality of life, emphasizing the need for awareness of diagnostic challenges and treatment options for ZS.
