Radiological findings on computed tomography examinations of adult patients in the emergency department of a tertiary care hospital.

Objective: To identify and analyze the main findings on computed tomography (CT) scans ordered in the emergency department of a tertiary care hospital.

Materials And Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted through analysis of CT scans of the head, chest, and abdomen of all patients admitted to the emergency department of a tertiary care hospital over a period of four months.

Results: Among a sample of 331 patients, pathological radiological findings were observed in 59.

Alterations on magnetic resonance imaging of the neonatal brain: correlations with prenatal risk factors and transfontanellar ultrasound findings.

Objective: To describe the alterations seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain in newborns, correlating those alterations with the transfontanellar ultrasound (TFUS) findings, and to describe the main risk factors identified.

Materials And Methods: We evaluated the examinations of 51 patients who were submitted to brain MRI with a neonatal protocol during hospitalization. We evaluated the MRI findings and correlated them with previous TFUS findings, using the last TFUS performed in order to minimize the risk of bias.

Clinical and radiological outcomes of a stemless reverse shoulder implant: a two-year follow-up in 56 patients.

Background: Since the introduction of stemless anatomic shoulder arthroplasty, many studies have been published on anatomic implants. For reverse stemless implants, however, there are only a few clinical follow-up studies available. The current clinical case series aims to present clinical and radiological outcomes of a new stemless reverse prosthesis system (Lima Shoulder Modular Replacement stemless).

Weight-bearing MRI with a knee flexion angle of 20°: a study on additional MRI investigation modalities to support a more accurate understanding of patellofemoral instability.

Background: Diagnosing patellofemoral instability disorders correctly, weight-bearing MRI (WB-MRI) has become an option. Aiming for a best possible accuracy in displaying potentially underlying causes, the named MRI modalities were sporadically even investigated in different knee flexion angles. However, despite confirmed MRI-outcome-differences between WB-MRI and non-WB-MRI, none of the described MRI modalities have so far established themselves.

Clinical and radiologic results after anatomic stemless shoulder prosthesis: a minimum 4-year follow-up.

Background: Since the introduction of stemless anatomic shoulder arthroplasty, few midterm functional and radiographic results have been published. This article presents results of the Arthrex Eclipse prosthesis with a mean follow-up of 70 months.

Methods: We prospectively evaluated the outcome of 53 arthroplasties in 51 patients with a mean age of 65 years at the time of implantation with a minimum follow-up of 48 months.
