Three-Dimensional Isotropic MRI of the Cervical Spine: A Diagnostic Comparison With Conventional MRI.

Study Design: Retrospective diagnostic trial.

Objective: To determine the diagnostic performance of 3-dimensional turbo spin-echo (3D-TSE) isotropic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the assessment of cervical spine pathology.

Summary Of Background Data: MRI is the imaging modality of choice for many cervical spine pathologies.

Comparison of agreement of cervical spine degenerative pathology findings in magnetic resonance imaging studies.

Background Context: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often used in the evaluation of degenerative conditions of the cervical spine. However, the agreement of interpreting and reporting varying degenerative findings on cervical MRI has not been well assessed.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the inter-rater and intra-rater agreement of MRI findings between common degenerative findings of the cervical spine.

Study of two techniques for midline laparotomy fascial wound closure.

To study the results of two techniques, simple interrupted closure and continuous with intermittent Aberdeen knot technique for midline laparotomy fascial wound closure. A random selection of 200 midline laparotomy cases was done. In one group (group A) of 100 cases, midline fascial wound closure was done with continuous sutures with intermittent Aberdeen knot technique using Prolene No.
