Article Synopsis
- * RNA-seq allows researchers to investigate various aspects of gene expression, such as identifying new exons, measuring gene expression levels, and studying alternative splicing, but challenges persist in extracting meaningful data due to the complexity and size of the datasets.
- * The review aims to clarify essential concepts and terminology related to RNA-seq data analysis, highlighting the evolution of computational tools as technology advances and the importance of researchers’ computational skills.
Elder abuse, defined as "harm inflicted on an older person in a relationship where there is an expectation of trust, and/or when the person is targeted based on age or disability," can be challenging for clinicians to identify. Radiologists can help raise appropriate suspicion for elder abuse based on a patient's imaging. This article reviews common distributions and radiographic patterns of injury sustained in physical elder abuse.

With ballistic injuries, an understanding of how the mechanism of injury translates to the injuries observed makes it possible to make sense of what can, at times be a complex imaging appearance and mitigate against the long-term complications of gunshot wounds. In this article, the authors describe the different types of ballistic projectiles, their mechanism of injury as well as the injury patterns they cause.

Methods: In 2013 and 2014, medical students attended a dedicated 1-week radiology clerkship course. In 2015, the block clerkship model for radiology transitioned to a vertically integrated curriculum.
Purpose: To determine the incidence and clinical predictors of intrathoracic complications in COVID-19 patients, and the association with outcomes.
Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we included 976 patients (age 61 ± 17 years, 62% male) who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 between March 3-April 4, 2020 and underwent chest imaging. 3836 radiographs from 976 patients and 105 CTs from 88 patients were reviewed for intrathoracic complications, including pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, pneumopericardium, lobar collapse, pleural effusion, and pneumatocele formation.
