Magnetic resonance imaging findings in the sternoclavicular joint in juvenile idiopathic arthritis and comparison with clinical examination.

Objective: The sternoclavicular joint (SCJ), an important link between the appendicular and axial skeleton, though involved in 41% of rheumatoid arthritis patients, has not been studied in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Hence, this cross-sectional study was done to delineate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in SCJ in JIA and compare with the clinical examination to diagnose SCJ arthritis.

Methods: Of the 116 JIA patients attending the pediatric rheumatology clinic, twenty-one patients (42 SC joints) were evaluated by 1.

Evaluation of thyroid lesions by fine-needle aspiration cytology based on Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology classification among the population of South Bihar.

Background: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of the thyroid gland has proven to be an important and widely accepted, cost-effective, simple, safe, and accurate method triaging patients with thyroid nodules. Awareness and understanding of wide spectrum thyroid disorders are of great value because most lesions are treatable by medical or surgical management.

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of FNA cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of thyroid lesion using the Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology nomenclature (BSRTC) and to correlate these with histopathological findings.
