Case: We report a 15-year-old adolescent boy being followed up for 6 years with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Genetic testing of this child revealed a novel missense variant c.925C>T p.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Unilateral presentation of sacroiliitis is a diagnostic dilemma, especially between infection and inflammatory sacroiliitis associated with spondyloarthritis, requiring an early and accurate diagnosis.
Objective: To assess the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differentiating infective versus inflammatory etiology in unilateral sacroiliitis.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective review of the MRI of 90 patients with unilateral sacroiliitis, having an established final diagnosis.
Introduction: The diameter of the quadrupled Hamstring graft plays a significant role in the incidence of graft failures for ACL reconstruction. The ability to predict the graft size pre-operatively can prepare the surgeon for alternatives in the event of an inadequate graft diameter.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively measured the diameter of the Semitendinosus tendon (ST) on the MRI in all patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using quadrupled Semitendinosus as their graft.
Article Synopsis
- Neuromuscular disorders can affect respiratory function either early or late, and some patients may experience hypercapnic respiratory failure as the main issue, which complicates diagnosis.
- This study analyzed 27 patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure, finding that many had abnormal phrenic nerve function and diaphragm thickness, and established specific underlying conditions for each case.
- Results showed that a significant portion of patients experienced functional recovery, highlighting the importance of a systematic approach for early diagnosis and treatment in managing these cases.
Background: There is an inequitable distribution of radiology facilities in India. This scoping review aimed at mapping the available technology instruments to improve access to imaging at primary health care; to identify the facilitators and barriers, and the knowledge gaps for widespread adaptation of technology solutions.
Methods: A search was conducted using broad inclusive terms non-specific to subtypes of medical imaging devices or informatics.
