Pineal gland volume in children with intellectual disability.

Objective: Pineal gland volume (PGV), which is associated with sleep and circadian rhythm, is known to be changed in some psychiatric disorders such as major depression, mood disorders and schizophrenia. This study aimed to compare the PGV of children with mild and moderate intellectual disability (ID) and healthy children.

Methods: This multicentre retrospective study included 40 children with ID (patient group), aged 6-12 years and 40 age- and sex-matched healthy children (control group).

Correlation between ultrasonography and MR proton density fat fraction techniques in evaluating the severity of liver steatosis.

Background And Aim: To investigate the relationship between ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance (MR) proton density fat fraction (PDFF) techniques, using the modified DIXON method, in determining the severity of liver steatosis.

Materials And Methods: This study included seventy consecutive patients who underwent upper abdominal MRI for various reasons between June 2016 and January 2017. Fatty liver staging was performed using US as indicated.

Evaluation of Pulmonary Functions After Discharge in Pediatric Patients with COVID-19: A Prospective Study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the pulmonary function of pediatric patients with COVID-19 after recovery.

Methods: Pediatric patients aged 5-18 years hospitalized with diagnoses of COVID-19 and discharged with recovery were included in this prospective study. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were performed through spirometry.

Neuropathic arthropathy of the shoulder secondary to operated syringomyelia: a case-based review.

Neuropathic arthropathy (NA) is a long-term progressive disorder that causes joint destruction in the existence of a neurologic deficit. Minor injuries and fractures are commonly overlooked until the visible joint deterioration becomes persistent. Syringomyelia is one of the important causes of NA.

Could computed tomography histogram analysis add value to the diagnosis of cholesteatoma?

Background: To investigate the potential role of computed tomography (CT) histogram analysis in differentiating cholesteatoma (CHS) and non-cholesteatoma (NCHS).

Methods: We evaluated 77 temporal bone CT images (from November 2016 to February 2020) that were obtained preoperatively (mean age, 37.10±17.
