Association Between Breast Arterial Calcification on Mammography and Impaired Ocular Perfusion: A Novel Study Using Color Doppler Ultrasonography.

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between the mammography-detected breast arterial calcification (BAC) and orbital color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) results.

Methods: Our single-center study, included female patients who applied to our hospital between January and May 2022 and underwent mammography and orbital CDUS examinations. Two radiologists evaluated the mammograms, grouped the patients as BAC (+) and BAC (-), and performed orbital CDUS.

Morphological and morphometric analysis of tarsal bones according to sex.

Purpose: Our aim in the study is to measure the area and volume of the tarsal bones and examine the typing of the talus and calcaneus joint surfaces according to sex.

Methods: In our study, the area and volume measurements of 630 tarsal bones and the morphology of the talus/calcaneus were analyzed by transferring thin-section Computed Tomography (CT) images to the 3D Slicer program.

Results: The volume and area sizes of the foot bones are calcaneus, talus, cuboid, navicular, medial cuneiform, lateral cuneiform, and intermediate cuneiform, respectively.

Nucleocytoplasmic β-catenin expression contributes to neuroendocrine differentiation in muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Bladder cancers are heterogeneous in nature, showing diverse molecular profiles and histopathological characteristics, which pose challenges for diagnosis and treatment. However, understanding the molecular basis of such heterogeneity has remained elusive. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular landscape of neuroendocrine-like bladder tumors, focusing on the involvement of β-catenin localization.

Is Quantitative Radiographic Measurement of Acetabular Version Reliable in Anteverted and Retroverted Hips?

Background: The acetabular version is crucial for hip function, and its accurate assessment is necessary for treating patients with hip disorders. Current studies reveal discrepancies in the precision of quantitative radiographic measurements versus CT measurements, but there is a lack of focused analysis on anteverted versus retroverted hips. This study aims to fill this gap by directly comparing the reliability of these two methods in assessing varied hip configurations.

Relationship of the accessory maxillary ostium to mucosal thickening and maxillary sinus cysts: a 3D segmentation study.

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the relationship between the presence of the accessory maxillary ostium (AMO) with mucosal thickening (MT) and maxillary sinus cysts (MSCs).

Study Design: This single-center retrospective study included patients who underwent paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) between November 2022 and February 2023. We excluded patients with natural maxillary ostium (NMO) occlusion.
