Background: The diagnosis of breast cancer necessitates a multifaceted approach integrating cytopathological and radiological assessments. The International Academy of Cytology (IAC) Yokohama system and Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) are fundamental frameworks in this context. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic potential of a combined Yokohama-BI-RADS scoring system for breast lesions.

- - Angioid streaks are irregular breaks in Bruch's membrane, appearing as pigmented lines that can indicate underlying systemic diseases like pseudoxanthoma elasticum, Paget's disease, and hemoglobinopathies in about 50% of cases, though some may be idiopathic.
- - Patients often remain asymptomatic until complications arise, such as choroidal neovascular membrane or subretinal hemorrhage, which can occur even from minor trauma due to the membrane's fragility.
- - Diagnosis involves clinical exams and imaging techniques like fundus autofluorescence and optical coherence tomography, while treatment typically focuses on managing complications, often through intravitreal injections of antivascular endothelial growth factor.
Background: Double chambered right ventricle is a rare congenital heart disease that is characterised by the presence of an anomalous muscle bundle that divides the right ventricle into a low pressure superior (distal) chamber and a high pressure inferior (proximal) chamber. It is found in association with a ventricular septal defect in 90% cases with other associations being tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of great vessels, atrial septal defect and Ebstein's anomaly. On the other hand, subaortic membrane is a form of discrete subaortic stenosis that is characterised by a membranous diaphragm in the subvalvular location of the left ventricular outflow tract.

While Coats disease is classically described in young male population, there is an adult variant of Coats disease presenting in adulthood. Adult onset Coats disease have a similar presentation but a slower progression, localised lipid deposition, both peripheral and juxta-macular involvement.

- The article discusses how Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is used to analyze traumatic brachial plexopathy (TBP) by locating injured nerve segments and assessing the severity of the damage.
- It connects MRI findings of TBP with Sunderland's grading system for nerve injuries, which helps in developing treatment plans.
- The review introduces a new five-part approach for understanding the radiological anatomy of the brachial plexus and outlines the necessary MRI protocols and key imaging signs related to TBP.
Background: There is lack of Indian data on diagnostic utility of rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) for diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and prevalence of these antibodies in patients with RA and the healthy population. The study was aimed to assess the diagnostic utility and prevalence of RF and ACPA at different titers in the Indian scenario.
Method: All the patients of RA fulfilling the European League Against Rheumatism/American College of Rheumatology (EULAR/ACR) 2010 classification criteria and age and gender-matched healthy controls were included in the study.
