Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the significance of the hypointense pericholedochal ring sign in MRI T2W images for diagnosing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA).
  • Conducted from January 2016 to March 2022 at a hospital in Istanbul, the study analyzed MRI scans of 70 patients with confirmed periampullary cancer, comparing results between PDA and non-PDA groups.
  • Results showed that the hypointense pericholedochal ring sign was found in 74.2% of PDA cases versus only 11.1% in non-PDA cases, indicating its potential as a valuable diagnostic marker.

Background: The goals of neuroimaging in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) are the exclusion of mimickers and effective management of disease. In recent studies, several imaging markers have been identified as potential predictors of IIH.

Purpose: To investigate the predictive roles of novel radiological markers as the Meckel's cave area, alongside classical radiologic markers in identifying IIH such as the empty sella.

Background: Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a significant clinical condition that can arise during liver resections, trauma, and shock. Geraniol, an isoterpene molecule commonly found in nature, possesses antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties. This study investigates the impact of geraniol on hepatic damage by inducing experimental liver I/R injury in rats.

Functional or non-secretory ectopic pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNET) can form around the sella turcica during the development of the adenohypophysis by differentiating and detaching from the pharyngeal roof. These tumors usually appear in the sphenoid sinus, clivus, cavernous sinus, infundibulum, and suprasellar cistern. Ectopic PitNETs typically display the characteristic magnetic resonance imaging findings of pituitary adenomas.
