This article discusses infection, a zoonotic parasite that lives in the liver bile ducts. A 31-year-old female patient was diagnosed with symptoms such as nausea, increased liver enzymes, and right upper quadrant pain for about a year. The parasite was detected in the common bile duct by Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) and removed by Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography (ERCP).

Objectives: The aim of this study was to estimate the legal age using the parameters obtained from radiomic analysis of the mandibular condyle in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.

Material And Methods: The study group consisted of 300 mandibular condyles, which were categorized into six groups based on the age of the patients: 8-11 years, 12-14 years, 15-17 years, 18-20 years, 21-23 years, and over 24 years. Each patient's condyle was segmented individually using the 3D Slicer program.

Background: Due to the ongoing organ shortage, marginal grafts with steatosis are more frequently used in liver transplantation, leading to higher occurrences of graft dysfunction. A histological analysis is the gold standard for the quantification of liver steatosis (LS), but has its drawbacks: it is an invasive method that varies from one pathologist to another and is not available in every hospital at the time of organ procurement. This study aimed to compare non-invasive diagnostic tools to a histological analysis for the quantification of liver steatosis.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the long-term functional abilities and occurrence of osteoarthritis in patients treated for a posterior perilunate carpal dislocation without associated bone lesions, with a follow-up of at least 18 years.
  • Ten patients participated, with evaluations based on various clinical and radiographic criteria, showing an average Cooney score of 67.5/100, alongside notable results in pain, grip strength, and wrist mobility.
  • Results indicated a 60% prevalence of osteoarthritis, but this was not significantly linked to the patients' functional performance, highlighting the role of initial lunate displacement and reduction quality in long-term outcomes.
