Use of shear wave elastography to analyze the muscle structure in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Purpose: In children with cerebral palsy (CP), gastrocnemius muscle spasticity may lead to pes equinus posture which causes insufficient ankle joint dorsiflexion for normal gait. The aim of this study was to analyze the stiffness of gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles by shear wave elastography (SWE) in children with pes equinus deformity due to spastic CP.

Methods: 24 legs of 12 children (6 females and 6 males, mean age 45.

Metaplastic Carcinoma of the Breast: Analysis of 38 Cases from a Single Institute.

Objective: To evaluate the pathological and radiological features, hormone profiles, surgery and treatment methods of metaplastic breast carcinoma cases diagnosed at our center in the light of current literature.

Material And Method: A total of 38 metaplastic breast cancer cases diagnosed between 2006-2018 at our center were included in the study. The patients were evaluated in terms of age, tumor size, localization, histological grade, hormone profiles (ER, PR, Her2-neu), American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Tumor, Lymph node status, Metastases (TNM) stage, progression, survival, radiological features, types of surgery and therapy modalities (chemotherapy and / or radiotherapy).

Not Otherwise Specified-Type Sarcoma of Breast with CD10 Expression: Case Report.

Primary breast sarcomas are very rare and account less than 1% of invasive breast carcinomas. Primary sarcomas of breast are leiomyosarcoma, angiosarcoma, liposarcoma, fibrosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor and pleomorphic sarcoma. Recently, a new CD10 positive group of sarcoma was identified.

Association Between the Elasticity of Hip Muscles and the Hip Migration Index in Cerebral Palsy.

Objectives: Cerebral palsy (CP) increases the risk of hip displacement during childhood. Abnormal hip muscle forces have been proposed as the predisposing factors. In CP, the amount of hip displacement is commonly evaluated by the Reimers hip migration index (MI) on an anteroposterior pelvic radiograph.

Is there a correlation between the severity of Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis and pre-treatment Shear-Wave Elastography Findings? Original research.

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between the severity of idiopathic Garulomatous Mastitis (IGM) and the pre-treatment Shear-Wave Elastography (SWE) findings.

Material And Methods: A total of 39 patients diagnosed with granulomatous mastitis were included in the study between the dates of December 2014 and February 2017. The patients were divided into two groups.

The role of Shear-Wave elastography in the differentiation of benign and malign non-mass lesions of the breast.

Aim: The aim of this study is to retrospectively assess the additional diagnostic value of shear wave elastography (SWE) added to ultrasound (US) versus US alone in differentiating malignant and benign non-mass lesions (NMLs) of the breast by readers with different experience levels and to assess interreader agreement.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 53 NMLs (31 benign, 22 malignant). Two radiologists (readers 1 and 2 had 15 years and 1 year of experience in breast imaging, respectively) independently reviewed each study and determined the BI-RADS category using US alone and again after adding SWE to US.

Effects of chronic flexed wrist posture on the elasticity and crosssectional area of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel among chronic stroke patients.

Aim: To investigate the effects of chronic flexed wrist posture following spasticity on the elasticity and cross-sectional area (CSA) of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel among chronic stroke patients.

Material And Method: This prospective study included 24 consecutive patients (mean age, 56.5±11.

Breast Involvement by Hematologic Malignancies: Ultrasound and Elastography Findings with Clinical Outcomes.

Objective: Hematological malignancies very rarely involve the breast. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate B-mode ultrasound (US) and elastography (ES) findings of breast involvement by hematologic malignancies with clinical outcomes.

Materials And Methods: All core-needle biopsy results that were performed at our tertiary breast center from January 2013 to September 2016 were searched.

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis: magnetic resonance imaging findings with diffusion MRI.

Background: Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare benign breast disease with unknown etiology which can mimic breast carcinoma, both clinically and radiologically. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of IGM have been previously described; however there is no study evaluating diffusion-weighted MRI findings of IGM.

Purpose: To analyze conventional, dynamic contrast-enhanced, and diffusion-weighted MRI signal characteristics of IGM by comparing it with the contralateral normal breast parenchyma.

Doppler ultrasonography findings of splenic arterial steal syndrome after liver transplant.

Objectives: Splenic arterial steal syndrome is an important cause of morbidity and mortality after orthotopic liver transplant. Splenic arterial steal syndrome is characterized by arterial hypoperfusion of the graft; and if left untreated, causes ischemic biliary tract injury. Selective arterial embolization is important when treating splenic arterial steal syndrome.

The magnetic resonance spectroscopy findings of extrapontine myelinolysis in a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy findings of extrapontine myelinolysis have been rarely reported. Herein, we present MR spectroscopy findings as well as the conventional MR and diffusion MR findings of an acute lymphoblastic leukemia patient with extrapontine myelinolysis. Advanced MR imaging including diffusion-weighted imaging and MR spectroscopy may be helpful to exclude other pathologies in the differential diagnosis and make the diagnosis when there is a diagnostic difficulty on cases clinically suspicious for extrapontine myelinolysis.
