Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess how effective percutaneous cryoablation is for treating abdominal wall endometriosis nodules in women over a period from May 2020 to July 2023.!* -
- A total of 38 women participated, with significant pain reduction noted at 3, 6, and 12 months post-treatment, as measured by the visual analog scale (VAS), with 82% reporting effective pain relief at six months.!* -
- The procedure resulted in a noticeable decrease in the size and activity of the endometriosis nodules on MRI without any major complications, highlighting its effectiveness as a minimally invasive treatment option.!*
Article Synopsis
- Age estimation in forensics is important but often imprecise, especially for older individuals, with this study focusing on the correlation between age and clavicle bone mineral density.
- A sample of 180 CT scans from individuals aged 15 to 100 revealed a significant negative correlation between bone density and age (p < 0.05).
- The results suggest that clavicle bone density could be a valuable tool for age estimation, particularly in those over 40, though further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
Few studies have been conducted to determine sex differences in the immature coxal bone and the results were often contradictory. The authors studied sexual dimorphic differences of the pubis using geometric morphometric analysis of five osteometric landmarks recorded by multislice computed tomography (MSCT), based on three-dimensional reconstructions of 188 children (95 boys, 93 girls) living in the region of Toulouse, southwestern France, ranging in age from 1 to 18 years old. They used geometric morphometric methodology first to test sexual dimorphism in size (centroid size) and shape (Procrustes residuals) and second to examine patterns of shape change with age (development) and size change with age (growth).

We used geometric morphometrics methodology first to test sexual dimorphism in size (centroid size) and shape (Procrustes residuals) and second to examine patterns of shape change with age (development) and size change with age (growth). On the basis of statistical significance testing, the ilium shape became sexually dimorphic at 11 years of age, although visible shape differences were observed as early as 1 year of age.

Geometric morphometric analysis, principal component analysis, canonical variates analysis, and other discriminant analysis (Goodall's F-test and Mahalanobis distance) were performed for the three separate bones of the left innominate (pubis, ilium, and ischium), the modified pubis (pubis and ischiopubic ramus), the modified ilium (ilium and ischial spine), three bone complexes (ischiopubic, iliopubic, and ilio-ischial), and the complete innominate. A cross-validation test was also performed.
