Objective: This study aimed to evaluate a new deep-learning model for diagnosing avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVNFH) by analyzing pelvic anteroposterior digital radiography.
Methods: The study sample included 1167 hips. The radiographs were independently classified into 6 stages by a radiologist using their simultaneous MRIs.
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EoGE) is a group of infrequent conditions that arise from the accumulation of eosinophils in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract without any secondary causes of eosinophilia. Most cases of EoGE cases show involvement of different parts of the GI tract. Herein, we report a case of EoGE with the sole involvement of Jejunum.

In most cases of the epididymal cyst, there are no symptoms and the diagnosis is made incidentally during ultrasonography. However, in rare circumstances, such as infection, trauma, or torsion, an epididymal cyst could become painful and require surgical or medical intervention.

Material And Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was done by collecting data from CAD patients who were referred to Rajaie Cardiovascular Centre between January 2018 and September 2020, with CCTA and hsCRP test 72 hours apart from the CCTA. PVAT stranding was defined as irregular obscuration of PVAT adjacent to the coronary arteries.
An esophageal lung is a subtype of communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (CBPFM) where the lung, often right side, communicates with the esophagus, which causes hypoplastic and consolidated diseased lung, and is usually diagnosed late in its clinical course. Clinical suspicion based on patient history, signs, and symptoms should lead to this opinion. A chest CT scan combined with esophagography is highly recommended for suspicious cases.
