Ovarian-Adnexal Imaging-Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) ultrasound version 2019: a prospective validation and comparison to updated version (v2022) in pathologically confirmed adnexal masses.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and reliability of the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) ultrasound v2019 in classifying adnexal masses (AMs) and compare the old and updated systems (v2022).

Patients And Methods: This prospective study enrolled 977 consecutive women with suspected AMs from three institutions between January 2022 and December 2023. Ultrasound examinations were performed by three experienced radiologists who categorized AMs according to O-RADS ultrasound v2019.

H magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the differentiation between low- and high-grade cervical carcinoma: is it efficient?

Purpose: To evaluate the extent to which magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) lipid metabolites are accurate in predicting high-grade cervical cancer.

Material And Methods: This prospective single-centre pilot study included 20 cases with pathologically proven cervical cancer. They underwent pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with MRS.

Diagnostic validity of abbreviated breast MRI in the diagnosis of breast cancer: a comparative study to the full breast MRI protocol using BI-RADS.

Purpose: This work aimed to determine the diagnostic performance of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) breast abbreviated protocol (AP) in diagnosing malignant breast lesions using BI-RADS compared with the diagnostic accuracy of the full diagnostic protocol (FDP).

Material And Methods: A prospective single-centre study was conducted. A total of 125 female patients with suspicious breast masses underwent MRI with the AP and the FDP.

Median nerve ultrasonography in Parkinson's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The cross-sectional area (CSA) of the median nerve in Parkinson's disease remains unclear.

Objectives: This meta-analysis assesses median nerve CSA changes in Parkinson's using ultrasonography.

Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and EBSCO were selectively searched for literature on Parkinson's disease, Median nerve, and ultrasonography.

Diagnostic validity and reliability of BT-RADS in the management of recurrent high-grade glioma.

Background And Purpose: BT-RADS is a new framework system for reporting the treatment response of brain tumors. The aim of the study was to assess the diagnostic performance and reliability of the BT-RADS in predicting the recurrence of high-grade glioma (HGG).

Materials And Methods: This prospective single-center study recruited 81 cases with previously operated and pathologically proven HGG.

Effects of pharmacogenetics on pharmacokinetics and toxicity of doxorubicin in Egyptian breast cancer patients.

This study investigates the impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes (SLC22A16 and CBR1) involved in the pharmacokinetics and toxicity of doxorubicin (DOX) in Egyptian female patients with breast cancer.Patients administered DOX (60 mg/m) for 4 cycles every 3 weeks. The peak DOX plasma concentration was measured using a validated chromatographic method.

Advanced strain elastography is a reliable approach for prostate cancer detection in patients with elevated PSA levels.

This study aimed to examine the validity and reproducibility of strain elastography (SE) for detecting prostate cancer (PCa) in patients with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. The study included 107 patients with elevated PSA levels. All eligible patients underwent transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) with real-time elastography (RTE) to detect suspicious lesions.

Diagnostic accuracy of dual-energy computed tomography in the diagnosis of neurological complications after endovascular treatment of acute ischaemic stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: To investigate dual-energy computed tomography's (DECT) diagnostic performance in detecting neurological complications following endovascular therapy (EVT) of acute ischaemic stroke (AIS).

Methods: We performed the literature search using Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, EBSCO, and Science Direct databases for published related studies. The selected studies estimated the validity of DECT in the detection of neurological complications after EVT for AIS.

A New Proposed Combined CT and MRI Staging System for Covid-19-Associated Rhino-Orbito-Cerebral Fungal Infection: A Multi-center Study with Pathological Correlation.

Rationale And Objectives: To propose a combined computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based classification system in the management of COVID-19-associated rhino-orbito-cerebral (C-ROC) fungal infection and to assess the reliability of such proposed staging system.

Materials And Methods: This was a multi-center prospective study conducted on 122 adults with previously confirmed COVID-19 infection. CT and contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) were performed for all patients.

Validation of Coronary Artery Disease Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) and Application of Coronary Artery Calcium Data and Reporting System (CAC-DRS) as New Standardized Tools in the Management of Coronary Artery Disease Patients.

Background And Objectives: The coronary artery disease reporting and data system (CAD-RADS) is intended to standardize the reporting of CCTA and the subsequent management guidelines of CAD. The present study was conducted to investigate the validation of CAD-RADS and the application of coronary calcium grading in CAD management.

Patients And Methods: The current study is a single-center prospective study that involved 177 participants with chest pain who were submitted to coronary CT angiography (CCTA).

The effect of genetic variations on ribavirin pharmacokinetics and treatment response in HCV-4 Egyptian patients receiving sofosbuvir/daclatasvir and ribavirin.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes involved in ribavirin (RBV) transport (SLC28A2 gene, ABCB1 gene and ABCB11 gene) on the clinical outcome and pharmacokinetics of ribavirin in HCV- 4 Egyptian patients.

Method: 100 patients treated with sofosbuvir/daclatasvir and ribavirin for 12 weeks. The SNP genotyping was performed by real-time PCR using high resolution melting analysis.
