Severe Early-Onset Obesity and Diabetic Ketoacidosis due to a Novel Homozygous c.169C>T p.Arg57* Variant in Gene.

Introduction: Early-onset severe obesity is usually the result of an underlying genetic disorder, and several genes have recently been shown to cause syndromic and nonsyndromic forms of obesity. The " () gene encodes for a centrosomal and ciliary protein. Homozygous variants in the gene are extremely rare causes of early-onset severe monogenic obesity.

The value of dual-energy computed tomography in the evaluation of myocarditis.

Purpose: The inflammation of the heart muscle is referred to as acute myocarditis. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has become the primary method for a non-invasive assessment of myocardial inflammation. However, there are several drawbacks of CMR.

Comparison of the Efficacy of Systemic Versus Local Steroid Treatment in Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis: A Cohort Study.

Introduction: Steroid therapy is known to be effective against granulomatous mastitis. We aimed to compare the efficacy of local versus systemic steroid administration in patients with idiopathic granulomatous mastitis.

Materials And Methods: This prospective cohort study included 58 patients who had either local (n = 42) or systemic (n = 16) treatment due to granulomatous mastitis between 2015 and 2019.

Mirror aneurysms of extracranial internal carotid arteries in a patient with beta-thalassemia major.

Beta-thalassemia major is a chronic disorder characterised by severe anemia. This patient with beta-thalassemia major is the first magnetic resonance (MR) angiographic case for symmetric mirror aneurysms of the extracranial internal carotid arteries. For diagnosis of vascular complications requires angiographic procedures such as catheter angiography, computed tomography angiography, MR angiography, or Doppler ultrasonography.

Evaluation of giant arachnoid granulations with high-resolution 3D-volumetric MR sequences at 3T.

Purpose: To evaluate the contribution to the diagnosis of the giant arachnoid granulations (AGs) of three-dimensional (3D) high-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging sequences such as T2-weighted sampling perfection with application optimized contrasts using different flip-angle evolution (SPACE) and post-contrast T1-weighted magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo (MPRAGE).

Materials And Methods: Patients with 45 giant AGs were included in this retrospective study. All the patients were performed 3D T2-weighted SPACE and contrast enhanced MR venography sequences, as well as conventional cerebral MR imaging sequences.

MR arthrographic evaluation of posterior paraglenoid labral cysts: a retrospective study.

Background: Paraglenoid labral cysts (PLCs) around the shoulder are uncommon. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the primary imaging modality for the description of PLCs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate PLCs in the posterior part of the glenoid bone via MR arthrography as well as to describe associated labral abnormalities.

Anomalous Origins of Ophthalmic Arteries on Three-Dimensional Time-of-Flight Magnetic Resonance Angiography and Their Clinical Importance.

Aim: The purpose of this paper was to evaluate rare cases of anomalous origins of the ophthalmic artery (OA) according to magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) findings.

Methods: This retrospective study included 80 patients diagnosed with anomalous OA origins between March 2015 and July 2018 from a sample of 16,024 patients. The patients included 47 females and 33 males with a mean age of 38.

The Value of Superb Microvascular Imaging in Detecting Hepatic Artery Occlusion in Liver Transplantation: A Preliminary Study.

Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) is an innovative color Doppler technique that is used to evaluate low-velocity blood flow in particular. Our purpose in this study was to examine the sensitivity and specificity of SMI for assessing occlusion of the hepatic artery after liver transplantation. Ninety-five prospective patients who underwent liver transplantation were included in our study between April 2014 and February 2018.

Diagnostic efficiency of multidetector computed tomography with multiplanar reformatted imaging and virtual cystoscopy in the assessment of bladder tumors after transurethral resection.

Purpose: In the assessment of recurrent bladder tumors, diagnostic efficiency of virtual cystoscopy carried out by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) was investigated and compared with the criterion standard of conventional cystoscopy.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-seven patients between 39 and 83 years who had undergone transurethral resection because of bladder tumors were assessed using virtual and conventional cystoscopy. Virtual cystoscopy was performed using a 16-MDCT (Aquilion, Toshiba Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan) in the supine and prone positions.

Computed tomography findings in diseases of the adrenal gland.

The adrenal gland is a common site of disease, with an abnormality prevalence as high as 9% in autopsy series. With the increasing use of CT, adrenal lesions are frequently found in the daily practice of radiology and are diagnosed in up to 5% of CT examinations performed for varied reasons. Imaging features on CT can establish a specific diagnosis of many of these lesions, including myelolipoma, hematoma and cysts.
