Article Synopsis
- The case involves a patient with systemic amyloidosis caused by ankylosing spondylitis, which is a rare complication of this inflammatory disease.
- The diagnostic imaging (99mTc PYP scintigraphy) indicated abnormal amyloid deposits in the thyroid, leading to a condition known as amyloid goiter.
- SPECT/CT scans confirmed the presence of amyloid in an enlarged thyroid gland, showing both diffuse tracer uptake and areas with fat density.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to predict stages of liver fibrosis and necroinflammation using various ultrasound measurements, specifically 2D shear wave elastography (2D-SWE), transient elastography (Fibroscan), and shear wave dispersion (SWD).
- - Significant findings showed that 2D-SWE and TE effectively detected different stages of hepatic fibrosis, with specific cutoff values leading to reliable categorizations, while SWD was useful for identifying levels of necroinflammation.
- - The conclusion emphasizes that both 2D-SWE and TE provide a noninvasive means to assess liver damage stages, with SWD being beneficial for detecting inflammation in the liver.
Aims: To develop a deep learning model, with the aid of ChatGPT, for thyroid nodules, utilizing ultrasound images. The cytopathology of the fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) serves as the baseline.
Material And Methods: After securing IRB approval, a retrospective study was conducted, analyzing thyroid ultrasound images and FNAB results from 1,061 patients between January 2017 and January 2022.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. In addition to methods such as prostate-specific antigen test, digital rectal examination, and transrectal ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging has an important role for accurate and reproducible diagnosis. However, guidance in targeted biopsies and recent use in determining localization for treatment increase its importance.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFEndothelial dysfunction (ED) plays a prominent role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE). There is a need for non-invasive methods to assess endothelial function in preeclamptic patients. In the present study, adropin, autotaxin (ATX), and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) were evaluated as indicators of ED.
