Purpose: It has been demonstrated that the coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are generally asymptomatic. However, some cases can cause severe life threatening events. As coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has emerged as a non-invasive alternative to invasive coronary angiography for the evaluation of coronary anatomy, the prevalence of CAAs in CCTA may more closely reflect the true prevalence in the general population.

Objective: This study aims to compare liver and spleen stiffness measurements using magnetic resonance elastography with T1 and T2 relaxation times in patients with chronic liver disease.
Methods: A total of 75 chronic liver disease patients and 25 healthy volunteers underwent MR. Patients with significant liver fat and iron accumulation were excluded.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if patients who underwent percutaneous liver mass biopsy (PLMB) could be safely discharged after a two-hour monitoring period.
- It involved 375 patients and found that minor complications occurred in 18.93% and major complications in 2.13%, mostly within the first two hours.
- The conclusion indicated that the two-hour monitoring is sufficient for identifying most complications, suggesting that longer monitoring does not significantly enhance patient care.
This study aimed to assess the frontal sinus volume (FSV) on computed tomography (CT) scans in migraine patients. Cranial and paranasal CT images from 75 migraine patients (mean age: 39.14±13.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between signal peptide complement C1r/C1s, Uegf, and Bmp1, and epidermal growth factor-containing protein 1, a marker of endothelial dysfunction and platelet activation, and the development of preeclampsia.
Methods: In this observational cross-sectional study conducted between April 2021 and December 2022, 73 consecutive pregnant women with preeclampsia and 73 healthy pregnant women were included.
