Value of Grayscale and Power Doppler High-Resolution Ultrasound in Assessment of Patients with Clinically Suspected Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Objectives: To determine the value of grayscale and power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS) in the evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in clinically suspected patients.

Methods: Eighty-seven wrists of 61 patients with clinically suspected CTS and 57 wrists of 30 healthy control participants were included in our study. Median nerve (MN) cross-sectional area (CSA) measurements were performed at the tunnel inlet level (wCSA) and proximal pronator quadratus muscle level (fCSA).

Radiological evaluation of inner ear trauma after cochlear implant surgery by cone beam CT(CBCT).

Purpose: Cochlear implantation (CI) has been extended to involve younger age group with higher incidence of residual hearing which increases the need of minimizing surgical inner ear trauma. Radiological evaluation for electrode position has been studied yet without assessment of inner ear trauma, our objective is radiological evaluation of post cochlear implantation inner ear trauma MATERIAL AND METHODS: 20 patients with CI for pre lingual SNHL were included in this study. Cone beam CT (CBCT) was used for evaluation of electrode position and assessment of inner ear trauma.

Renal Abnormalities Among Egyptian Children With Hemophilia A Using Renal Scintigraphy: Relation to Risk Factors and Disease Severity.

Unlabelled: Many risk factors may contribute to renal disease in patients with hemophilia A.

Aim: We aimed to evaluate functional and structural renal abnormalities among a group of Egyptian children with severe and moderate hemophilia A using technetium-99m diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (Tc-DTPA) and technetium-99 m dimercaptusuccinic acid (Tc-DMSA) scan. We also aimed to determine the relation between these abnormalities and different risk factors and disease severity.

Renal anomalies in patients with turner syndrome: Is scintigraphy superior to ultrasound?

Renal anomalies are present in up to 30% of patients with Turner syndrome (TS). Renal ultrasound (U/S) detects anatomical renal anomalies only while renal scintigraphy detects anomalies, detects early renal malfunction, and estimates glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Thus, we aimed to assess frequency of renal abnormalities detected by scintigraphy in comparison to renal U/S in TS patients.
