Introduction: Wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms pose significant challenges for endovascular treatment. A recent innovation, the stent plus balloon-assisted coiling technique, combines a stent and a balloon to address these aneurysms effectively.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the stent plus balloon-assisted coiling for the treatment of wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms.
Local glucocorticoid injections are used in the treatment of isolated sacroiliitis in patients with spondyloarthritis. Sacroiliac joint injections can be performed intraarticularly or periarticularly. Since the accuracy of blind injections is low, fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, or ultrasonography guidance are used to increase the accuracy of sacroiliac joint injections.

Although it can be done in both location, to inject the right area, the terminology should be settled and the visualization of these areas which are unclear and confusing in the literature should be clarified. In this sense, we showed the course of the nerve on a cadaver and briefly describe a protocol to correctly visualize the suprascapular notch with US.

Objective: To evaluate the extraspinal findings and clinical effect of the T1-weighted spin echo (T1W SE) coronal sequence added to the lumbar MRI protocol for low back pain.
Introduction: To date, there is limited data on the long-term changes in the lungs of patients recovering from coronavirus (COVID-19) pneumonia. In order to evaluate pulmonary sequelae, it was planned to investigate fibrotic changes observed as sequelae in lung tissue in 3-6-month control thorax computerized tomography (CT) scans of moderate-to-severe COVID-19 pneumonia survivors.
Materials And Methods: A total of 84 patients (mean age: 67.

Introduction: The clinical manifestations of the worldwide pandemic, which began in mainland China in December 2019, were very similar to viral pneumonia and defined as Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Complications such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute cardiac tissue damage, secondary infections, isolated coagulopathy and pulmonary embolism have been reported with COVID-19 disease.
Clinical Findings: A 79-year-old woman admitted to the emergency room (ER) had complaints of fever and cough.
Objective: Two different methods for fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of thyroid nodules (multi-pass conventional smear, MPCS; single-pass liquid-based cytology, SPLBC) were evaluated regarding the magnitude of nondiagnostic/unsatisfactory sampling ratio, and basic demographic and ultrasonographic (USG) factors to predict such outcome.
Methods: One thousand FNAB patients were retrospectively assessed. Of them, 517 nodules were evaluated with the conventional smear method, and the rest were evaluated with liquid-based cytology method using the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology.
