Article Synopsis
  • Nephrotic syndrome can arise from various causes, including metabolic disorders like cobalamin C (cblC) defect, which is linked to mutations in the MMACHC gene affecting vitamin B12 processing and is usually characterized by hematological and neurological symptoms.
  • A 7-month-old male patient's case is presented, showcasing symptoms such as fatigue, edema, and laboratory findings that indicated anemia and proteinuria, eventually leading to a diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome caused by the cblC defect confirmed by genetic testing.
  • The case emphasizes the importance of identifying metabolic conditions in atypical nephrotic syndrome presentations and suggests that early detection and management can prevent serious complications, such as irreversible renal damage.

Purpose: This article is the first in a two-part series designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the range of supratentorial intraventricular masses observed in children. Our primary objective is to discuss the diverse types of intraventricular masses that originate not only from cells within the choroid plexus but also from other sources.

Methods: In this article, we review relevant epidemiological data, the current genetics/molecular classification as outlined in the fifth edition of the World Health Organization's Classification of tumours of the Central Nervous System and noteworthy imaging findings.

Purpose: This article is the second in a two-part series aimed at exploring the spectrum of supratentorial intraventricular masses in children. In particular, this part delves into masses originating from cells of the ventricular lining, those within the septum pellucidum, and brain parenchyma cells extending into the ventricles. The aim of this series is to offer a comprehensive understanding of these supratentorial intraventricular masses, encompassing their primary clinical findings and histological definitions.

In this article, we will discuss the essential MR imaging protocol required for the assessment of ocular abnormalities including malignancies. Then we will describe relevant anatomy, ocular embryogenesis, and genetics to establish a profound understanding of pathophysiology of the congenital ocular malformations. Finally, we will discuss pediatric ocular malignancies, benign mimics, and the most common congenital ocular malformations with case examples and illustrations and give tips on how to distinguish these entities on neuroimaging.

Background: Compulsory citizenship behaviors (CCBs) are increasingly endorsed and expected of workers in contexts where managerial worker protections are low and performance demands on workers are high. Although studies on compulsory citizenship behaviors have shown a significant increase in recent years, the literature still lacks a comprehensive meta-analysis. To fill this gap the purpose of this study is to synthesize the collective outcomes of prior quantitative research on CCBs with the objective of identifying the factors linked to the concept and offering a primary reference for future researchers.

The significant increase in the human population and the associated industrial wastes have a widespread impact on coastal areas. It is important to monitor trace elements that affect food safety and pose a potential consumer health threat. All over the Black Sea coast, people enjoy consuming whiting as both meat and roe.

Background: With the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare professionals, especially nurses, are confronted with an intensified workload. The literature on compulsory citizenship behaviors and their consequences is still far from explaining the cognitive and emotional mechanisms that underlie this relationship.

Methods: Drawing on the resource depletion theory, we unpack the mechanism by which compulsory citizenship behaviors influence moral disengagement with the mediation effects of anger toward the organization.

Background: Studies conducted in the health sector have determined a positive relationship between job satisfaction and work engagement. However, this paper reveals that this relationship turns into a negative or non-significant relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic. We explore the reasons for inconsistency in research findings in this critical period through a meta-analysis.

Purpose: This paper aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the social cyberloafing (SC) scale as an important predictor of the mental health of healthcare employees.

Methods: The data for this descriptive cross-sectional study was obtained from 202 Turkish healthcare employees. We followed Dima's 6-step protocol for validation.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms in newborn infants are incompletely described. We present the first case of neuroradiologic abnormality associated with COVID-19 in a newborn infant with afebrile seizure. This case underlines the possible neurologic involvement of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in this age group.

Aim: This meta-analytic review aimed to synthesize and analyse studies that explored the relationship between nurses' work-family conflicts and turnover intentions.

Design: This meta-analytical review was conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines and PRISMA checklist.

Data Sources: A total of 191 (k = 14) publications published between 2005 and 2019 in English, including grey literature on turnover intention and work-family conflict, were retrieved from PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, ProQuest and Scopus databases.

We present a 1-year-old boy who was asymptomatic and brought to the emergency room on suspicion of his having swallowed a pin. Confirmation of ingestion of the pin and its passage through the gut was achieved with abdominal radiography. The pin, which was followed with serial abdominal radiographs, was expected to leave the gastrointestinal tract, but was fixed to the right lower quadrant.

Purpose: To describe the sonographic findings of biliary fascioliasis.

Method: The study included 27 patients with fascioliasis and abdominal sonographic findings in biliary system. All diagnoses were confirmed via serologic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and 5 patients underwent cholecystectomy.

Most common developmental anomalies of bronchial tree include accessory cardiac bronchus (ACB) and tracheal bronchus (TB). Minor bronchial anomalies include variants of TB, displaced segmental bronchi, and bronchial agenesis. We present CT-bronchoscopy and CT-bronchography findings of three cases with either ACB or TB.

Introduction: Differential radiologic diagnosis of cystic malformations of the posterior fossa is often difficult with conventional imaging techniques because of overlapping features of these entities. Posterior fossa cystic malformations occupy the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces. They may create secondary dynamic effects on the movements of CSF.

Purpose: To compare diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging (DW) with spin-echo (SE), and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences in the evaluation of epidermoid cysts (ECs), and to evaluate T2 shine-through effect.

Materials And Methods: Fifteen patients were imaged prospectively in two different 1.5 T magnetic resonance (MR) units with standard head coils with SE, FLAIR and DW echo planar imaging sequences.

Purpose: The goals of this work were to measure the apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) for both hippocampus and amygdala of persons diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and unilateral hippocampus pathology on magnetic resonance imaging and to evaluate the sensitivity of diffusion-weighted (DW) images in determination of the lateralization of the epileptogenic focus.

Methods: Thirteen cases with a TLE diagnosis and 21 healthy subjects were evaluated. Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery and T2W images of TLE cases revealed hippocampal volume loss and signal intensity changes.

Background And Purpose: The demonstration of communication between arachnoid cysts (ACs) and the adjacent subarachnoid space is a prerequisite for their proper management. CT cisternography (CTC) is the conventional method for functional evaluation of ACs. The sensitivity of MR imaging to CSF flow has been demonstrated, but reports of the clinical usefulness of MR CSF flow techniques in this application are limited.

Purpose: To explore the use of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) and diffusion-weighted echo planar imaging sequences in imaging of the intracranial epidermoid and arachnoid cysts and assess the efficiency of those sequences in differentiation of epidermoid cysts from arachnoid cysts.

Materials And Methods: This study was performed prospectively by using two different MR devices in 24 patients (12 epidermoid cysts, 12 arachnoid cysts). T1-weighted spin echo, T2-weighted fast spin echo, FLAIR and diffusion-weighted echo planar imaging sequences were used.
