- Hippocampal sclerosis (HS) is a major cause of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) but can be hard to detect on MRI, leading to surgical delays, so researchers created open-source software to improve diagnosis.
- The study involved 365 participants, using the software HippUnfold to analyze MRI scans and develop a logistic regression model that accurately identifies and localizes HS.
- The classifier showed high accuracy in detecting HS in both initial and independent patient cohorts, proving effective for individual assessments by comparing patient data with normative growth patterns.
The purpose of this article is to review commonly used medications in abdominal radiology including their indications, mechanisms of action, dosages, contraindications, precautions, and adverse reactions. We will clarify common inquiries and address frequently asked questions by patients and clinicians related to their use. In addition, we will explore the indications, advantages and disadvantages, dosages, and contraindications of enteric contrast agents used for CT and fluoroscopic examinations.

Objective: This study evaluated the usefulness of a virtual reality educational program (VREP) for reducing preoperative anxiety in elective low-complexity paediatric surgery.
Aim: To analyse preoperative paediatric anxiety in a tertiary hospital and influencing factors.
Design And Methods: This study was designed as a descriptive cross-sectional study. One hundred patients between two and 12 years old who underwent elective surgical intervention were included.
