Aims: To evaluate important imaging findings and prognostic factors of incidentally detected gallbladder cancer (IDGC). Materials and methods: Patients with surgically proven IDGC (n=85) and benign GB diseases (n=100) were retrospectively enrolled. All patients had preoperative CT and eighty-two patients had US images.

- The study compares surgically removed mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) and branch-duct type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (BD-IPMNs) in terms of high-risk predictors for malignancy based on current management guidelines.
- A total of 224 patients were reviewed, with different malignant and benign classifications, and imaging features were analyzed by two radiologists to assess tumor characteristics excluding those with significant main pancreatic duct dilation.
- Key findings revealed that specific factors, like tumor size and the presence of enhancing mural nodules, were strong predictors of malignancy in both MCNs and BD-IPMNs, with particular measurement thresholds providing better differentiation between benign and malignant cases than standard guidelines

Cri-du-chat syndrome is a rare genetic disorder in which the patient presents with a characteristic high-pitched monotonous cry and recurrent aspiration pneumonia, attributed to abnormalities in the larynx, epiglottis, and nervous system. The most prominent brain MRI findings are the presence of pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia, which primarily involve posterior cranial fossa structures. Although atrophy of supratentorial structures were also a common radiological finding, it was considered to be a secondary change due to pontine hypoplasia.

Fentanyl intoxication has occasionally been reported since fentanyl patches became available for medical use. Delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy is a complication of hypoxia. However, its neuropsychiatric symptoms can be delayed, and it can progress to leukoencephalopathy even after full recovery from coma due to acute intoxication.

This study aimed to investigate whether chest radiography on admission is significant as a predictive factor for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with scrub typhus.
Methods: From 2010 to 2016, 467 patients were diagnosed with scrub typhus in our hospital.
