Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore whether there is a link between hidrosadenitis suppurativa (a skin condition) and spondyloarthritis (a type of arthritis) by comparing patients with the skin condition to healthy volunteers.
  • Researchers conducted a cross-sectional study at a tertiary care center and found that 28.2% of patients with hidrosadenitis suppurativa had spondyloarthritis, compared to only 2.6% in the control group.
  • The findings suggest a significant association between hidrosadenitis suppurativa and an increased risk of spondyloarthritis, highlighting the need for monitoring patients with the skin condition for related joint symptoms.

Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative progressive pneumoperitoneum in expanding the volume of the peritoneal cavity and the outcomes after surgical treatment of incisional hernias with loss of domain.

Purpose: To prospectively assess the added value of gadolinium-enhanced and diffusion-weighted (DWI) MRI for the diagnosis of pelvic recurrence from colorectal cancer (CRC).

Materials And Methods: Fifty-two patients with suspected pelvic recurrence from CRC underwent pelvic MRI with T2-weighted ("T2"), gadolinium-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted ("gadolinium") and DWI MR sequences. Three readers (senior radiologist: R1, two residents: R2, R3) scored the likelihood of recurrence on "T2," "T2 + DWI," and "T2 + Gadolinium.
