A Unique Case of Familial Expansile Osteolysis: Findings on 99mTc-MDP Bone Scan.

Familial expansile osteolysis is an exceedingly rare autosomal dominant bone dysplasia, which can have overlapping features with Paget disease and expansile skeletal hyperphosphatasia. We present a novel case of familial expansile osteolysis evaluated on 99mTc-MDP bone scan with correlative radiographs and CT.

Safety and accuracy of aortic and periaortic CT-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and accuracy of aortic and periaortic computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy performed at a single center over 12 years.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of cases performed between February 2010 and August 2022 in which the biopsied region was in direct contact with the aorta or great vessels including the pericardium and common iliac arteries. Clinical notes were reviewed for any early or delayed complications following the procedure, which if present were graded using the National Institute of Health's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.

Nodular Fasciitis: False Positive on 18F-Piflufolastat and 11C-Choline PET/CT.

PET/CT plays a crucial role in the management of prostate cancer with several emerging and established radiopharmaceuticals, including 18 F-piflufolastat and 11 C-choline. These radiotracers are thought to be relatively specific to prostate cancer; however, uptake has also been demonstrated in other benign and malignant lesions. Nodular fasciitis is a rapidly growing benign soft tissue neoplasm that is typically self-limiting.

Skull Fracture Healing in Children Up to 36 Months - A Cohort Analysis.

During medicolegal proceedings in cases of suspected child abuse it is sometimes argued that skull fractures could be sequelae from complications at birth or resulted from a prior witnessed accidental trauma that may have preceded the suspected abusive event. There is paucity of scientific evidence indicating timing for skull fracture healing in children up to 36 months old. Objective of this study was to assess the average time to imaging documentation of skull fracture healing in children up to 36 months old.

Multimodality evaluation of transfascial muscle and other soft tissue herniations of the extremities.

This review illustrates the multimodality assessment of transfascial muscle and other soft tissue herniations of the extremities. Transfascial herniations of the extremities can develop from congenital or acquired disruptions of the deep fascia, resulting in herniation of the underlying muscle, nerve, or soft tissue tumor into the subcutaneous tissues. While most patients present with a painless subcutaneous nodule that may change in size with muscle activation, some may experience focal or diffuse extremity symptoms such as pain and paresthesias.

Factors Driving Resistance to Clinical Decision Support: Finding Inspiration in Radiology 3.0.

Purpose: The effectiveness of evidence-based guidelines (EBGs) and clinical decision support (CDS) is significantly hampered by widespread clinician resistance to it. Our study was designed to better understand the reasons for this resistance to CDS and explore the factors that drive it.

Methods: We used a mixed-methods approach to explore and identify the drivers of resistance for CDS among clinicians, including a web-based multispecialty survey exploring clinicians' impressions of the strengths and weaknesses of CDS, two clinician focus groups, and several one-on-one focused clinician interviews in which individual participants were asked to comment on their rationale for choosing imaging utilization that might not be supported by EBGs.

You Too? Female Radiologists' Narratives on Discrimination and Harassment.

Background: There is a paucity of examples of gender discrimination and sexual harassment in radiology. This lack of knowledge can limit radiologists' ability to relate to this topic, acknowledge its importance and impact, and take actions toward improvement.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a qualitative analysis using the model of thematic analysis developed by Braun and Clarke of narrative responses to a survey on the topic of #MeToo, which was distributed to a social media group of female radiologists.

The Current State of Gender Discrimination and Sexual Harassment in the Radiology Workplace: A Survey.

Rationale And Objectives: Our objectives were (1) to determine the extent to which gender discrimination and sexual harassment are experienced by female radiologists and trainees; (2) to examine whether experiencing harassment or discrimination influences perceptions of gender parity; and (3) to explore whether the existence of either formal institutional policies or the number of women in the workplace and/or in leadership positions influences perceptions of having achieved gender equity.

Materials And Methods: An online anonymous questionnaire, developed through an Association of University Radiologists (AUR) - affiliated 2019-2020 Task Force, was used to assess participant demographics, perceptions of gender parity, and experiences of gender discrimination and sexual harassment.

Results: A total of 375 complete responses were collected.

Müllerian duct anomalies coincident with endometriosis: a review.

The association between obstructed müllerian duct anomalies and endometriosis has been well established and the pathogenesis is attributed to the theory of retrograde menstruation. However, this relationship with endometriosis is less clear in women with unobstructed müllerian duct anomalies and in those with rudimentary uterine structures that lack functioning endometrial tissue. This article reviews the embryology, genetics, pathophysiology, and American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) classification for müllerian duct anomalies together with the genetics and pathophysiology of endometriosis to provide a framework for understanding the complex relationship between these two entities.

A Systematic Review of the Accuracy of Estimated and Measured Resting Metabolic Rate in Chronic Spinal Cord Injury.

The objective of this systematic review was to examine resting metabolic rate (RMR) measured through indirect calorimetry in adults with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) and to evaluate the predication equations used for the estimation of RMR in this population. The authors additionally aimed to review the impact of sex and level of injury on RMR. A MEDLINE/PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science search was performed for studies published from the database inception to January 2018, identifying 326 articles.

Correction: Nutritional status in chronic spinal cord injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The authors noted that there were two typographical errors in Table 2. Under the 'Tetraplegia' group of 'Gorgey et al. [55]' the 'RMR' value was originally given as '14,101 ± 10'.

Nutritional status in chronic spinal cord injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: The objective was to investigate nutritional status in chronic spinal cord injury (SCI), and compare macronutrient and micronutrient intake to the recommended values by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Setting: United States of America.

Novel 1,2-dihydroquinazolin-2-ones: Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation against Trypanosoma brucei.

In 2014, a published report of the high-throughput screen of>42,000 kinase inhibitors from GlaxoSmithKline against T. brucei identified 797 potent and selective hits. From this rich data set, we selected NEU-0001101 (1) for hit-to-lead optimization.
