Inflammatory aortic aneurysm a rare presentation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA): A case report study.

Introduction: An Inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm (IAAA) is an inflammatory condition involving the abdominal aorta, accounting for 4-7 % of all abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). In general, AAA is asymptomatic, but IAAA can have some features, including pain, constitutional symptoms, elevated inflammatory markers, and distinguishes findings on imaging.

Presentation Of Case: This article is about a 65-year-old man with flank pain who was diagnosed incidentally with IAAA and underwent surgery.

Impact of Electronic Collimation on Reducing Unnecessary Patient Dose in Digital Radiography.

Background: In radiology, optimizing radiation protection is crucial, and field collimation plays a critical role in minimizing patient dose. As technology has evolved, electronic collimation has become the preferred method due to its effectiveness in digital imaging systems, replacing traditional film-screen systems.

Objective: The current study aimed to investigate the prevalence of cropping in digital radiography and its potential impact on patient radiation dose because of improper collimation practices.

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) production using supplemented corn-processing byproducts through Cupriavidus necator via solid-state fermentation: Cultivation on flask and bioreactor scale.

The widespread adoption of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) encounters challenges due to its higher production costs compared to conventional plastics. To overcome this obstacle, this study investigates the use of low-cost raw materials and optimized production methods. Specifically, food processing byproducts such as corn germ and corn bran were utilized as solid substrates through solid-state fermentation, enriched with molasses and cheese whey.

Breathing-induced Errors in Quantification and Description of Dominant Intra-Prostatic Lesions (Dils) in PET Images: A Simulation Study by Means of The 4D NCAT Phantom.

Background: Respiratory movement and the motion range of the diaphragm can affect the quality and quantity of prostate images.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the magnitude of respiratory-induced errors to determine Dominant Intra- prostatic Lesions (DILs) in positron emission tomography (PET) images.

Material And Methods: In this simulation study, we employed the 4D NURBS-based cardiac-torso (4D-NCAT) phantom with a realistic breathing model to simulate the respiratory cycles of a patient to assess the displacement, volume, maximum standardized uptake value (SUV), mean standardized uptake value (SUV), signal to noise ratio (SNR), and the contrast of DILs in frames within the respiratory cycle.

Efficacy and safety of tofacitinib for treatment of alopecia areata in children: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Tofacitinib, a potent JAK inhibitor, has gained increasing interest, in recent years, among dermatologists for the management of refractory alopecia areata. Despite a growing number of studies on its safety and efficacy, there is still a lack of clarity, especially in the pediatric population, in treatment considerations such as proper dosage, treatment duration, side-effect profile, and therapeutic strategies to guide clinicians.

Methods: Multiple databases were systematically searched.
