Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing health concern, particularly in older adults, due to its high prevalence and association with increased morbidity and mortality. Early detection and effective management are crucial to slowing disease progression and reducing complications such as cardiovascular events and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Traditional biomarkers, including serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), often have limitations in older populations, where age-related physiological changes can obscure early signs of kidney dysfunction.

Article Synopsis
  • Breast vascularity is vital for understanding breast cancer development and treatment, as it provides insights into pathological and physiological changes in breast tissue.
  • * Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is a key tool for assessing breast vascularity, using contrast agents to visualize blood flow and differentiate between benign and malignant lesions.
  • *DCE-MRI offers high diagnostic accuracy and is useful for monitoring treatment response, but challenges like cost and overlapping enhancement patterns need to be addressed, alongside future advancements in imaging technology.*

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a critical diagnostic tool in assessing supratentorial neoplasms, offering unparalleled detail and specificity in brain imaging. Supratentorial neoplasms in the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, thalamus, and other structures above the tentorium cerebelli present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. These challenges vary notably between adult and pediatric populations due to differences in tumor types, biological behavior, and patient management strategies.

Central neurocytoma (CN) is a rare, low-grade, neuronal tumor frequently encountered in young adults. Complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice; however, it is associated with grave postoperative complications in a quarter of patients, including neurological (motor weakness, memory deficit, aphasia, and seizure) as well as regional (hydrocephalus, hematoma, infection, and subcutaneous hydrops) complications. Herein, we present a case of a 35-year-old female who presented with decreased vision for the last 7-8 days and headache over the last 1-1.

Organophosphorus poisoning (OPP) poses a significant threat to human health, necessitating accurate prognostic markers for timely intervention and improved outcomes. This review evaluates the potential of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a prognostic indicator in acute organophosphorus poisoning (AOPP). A comprehensive analysis of existing literature reveals that elevated NLR values correlate with increased severity of poisoning and adverse clinical outcomes, including mortality and morbidity.

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of inherited metabolic disorders characterized by the deficiency or malfunction of lysosomal enzymes responsible for glycosaminoglycan (GAG) degradation. We present the case of an 11-year-old male with a history of calcified mitral valve, rheumatic heart disease, and growth hormone deficiency who presented with dyspnea on exertion. Physical examination revealed dysmorphic facial features, short stature, and suboptimal weight and height parameters.

Cerebellar hemispheric enlargement with atypical neurological symptoms poses diagnostic challenges in clinical practice. We present the case of a 57-year-old female with persistent headache, left facial paraesthesia, dysarthria, gait ataxia, and longstanding neck swelling. Imaging studies revealed enlargement of the left cerebellar hemisphere with associated mass effect and compression of adjacent structures.

There has been a notable rise in instances of multiple-fetus pregnancies over the last decade, attributed to the widespread adoption of assisted reproductive technologies. Moreover, these pregnancies have been associated with the use of drugs to induce ovulation. While some cases involve the loss of one twin with minimal consequences for the surviving twin, the demise of a fetus after the first trimester, especially beyond three months into the pregnancy, can significantly impact the health of both the mother and the surviving fetus.
