Comparing the Effects of Corticosteroid Injections and Resistance Exercise on Knee Osteoarthritis Patients: A Systematic Review.

Purpose: To evaluate research on the effectiveness of intra-articular corticosteroids injections compared with resistance exercise on pain, stiffness, and function among patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis.

Methods: Using the PRISMA guidelines, the authors performed a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in PubMed and EBSCOhost published between January 2012 and October 2022. The authors used keywords to identify studies.

MRI characteristics of chemotherapy-related central neurotoxicity: a pictorial review.

The relentless advancement of chemotherapeutic agents has enhanced survival rates among cancer patients. However, this success comes with an increased prevalence of chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity, which often mimics the symptoms of metastatic disease or paraneoplastic syndromes and poses a diagnostic challenge for clinicians. Imaging, particularly MRI, plays a pivotal role in unraveling this conundrum.

Life-threatening bleeding from dissecting Intramural Hematoma of Esophagus (IHE) treated by trans arterial embolization.

Dissecting intramural hematoma of esophagus (DIHE) is an uncommon entity, characterized by accumulation of blood within the esophageal wall and usually managed conservatively. Only in rare circumstances, DIHE is associated with massive life-threatening hemorrhage requiring emergency treatment. We present a case of DIHE associated with cardiovascular collapse and treated by transcatheter arterial embolization.
