Obesity-related chronic inflammation may lead to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. This study aimed to evaluate the neurometabolic profile of obese patients using cerebral multivoxel magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mvMRS) and assess correlations between brain metabolites and obesity markers, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, body fat percentage, and indicators of metabolic syndrome (e.g.

- - The study explored the use of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in differentiating rectal cancer from post-radiation proctitis and normal rectum by analyzing ADC values and their correlation with tumor characteristics.
- - Conducting a retrospective analysis of 300 patients, results showed lower ADC values for rectal cancer (0.665) compared to post-radiation proctitis (1.648) and normal rectum (1.180), indicating ADC's potential as a diagnostic tool.
- - While the ADC proved effective in distinguishing between these conditions with high sensitivity and specificity, it was not reliable for determining the histological grade or other tumor characteristics of rectal cancer.
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis has a complex pathophysiology, and numerous risk factors can contribute to its development, like exposure to sunlight that is associated with serum levels of melatonin. The aim of this study was to determine whether the volume of the pineal gland, assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), correlated with the presence of multiple sclerosis.
Methods: This retrospective study included a total of 394 patients.
Imaging can aid in determining potential causes of coccygeal pain and therefore guide clinicians to carry out individualized treatment. We represent a case of postpartum coccydynia treated by platelet-rich plasma (PRP) which was assessed and followed by MRI. A primipara with uncomplicated labor developed coccygeal pain after delivery that significantly limited her postpartum recovery.

Metastatic lesions are usually associated with blood-brain barrier disruption, solid or ring-like contrast enhancement, and perilesional vasogenic edema on brain imaging. Even in cases where metastases are predominantly cystic, enhancement of the minor solid component can be detected.
