Malignancy Rates in Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System Category 3 (TI-RADS 3) Thyroid Nodules: A Retrospective Study.

Introduction Thyroid cancer, one of the most frequently diagnosed endocrine malignancies, has witnessed a discernible global surge, predominantly among young adults. The etiological spectrum of thyroid cancer ranges from genetic mutations to environmental triggers. The early and precise detection of thyroid nodules (TNs) is crucial, given their latent potential for malignancy.

Diagnostic Performance of the Radiological Society of North America Consensus Statement for Reporting COVID-19 Chest CT Findings: A Revisit.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious respiratory disease that leads to variable degrees of illness, and which may be fatal. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of each chest computed tomography (CT) reporting category recommended by the Expert Consensus of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in comparison with that of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). We aimed to add an analysis of this form of reporting in the Middle East, as few studies have been performed there.

Management of pediatric blunt abdominal trauma with split liver or spleen injuries: a retrospective study.

Background: Blunt abdominal trauma is a prevailing cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality. It constitutes the most frequent type of pediatric injuries. Contrast-enhanced sonography (CEUS) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) are considered pivotal diagnostic modalities in hemodynamically stable patients.

A case of horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis.

Horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis is a rare entity with few cases in the literature. Despite the fact the patient will not present with typical symptoms of this syndrome, clinical suspicion should be raised particularly in terms of imaging findings. Imaging findings are characteristic to flag the possibility of this syndrome.

A case of bilateral posterior mediastinal myelolipoma.

A 71-year-old female presented with chronic shortness of breath and underwent routine examination at the emergency department. A plain chest radiograph revealed a large lobulated posterior mediastinal mass that was incidentally found to be unrelated to the main complaint. Further cross-sectional images were obtained to characterize the lesion, which revealed bilateral involvement of a prevertebral mixed attenuation large mass with minimal enhancement postcontrast administration.

Atypical Presentation of Acute Appendicitis with Schistosomiasis.

Schistosomiasis is a parasitic infection that is induced by different species of Schistosoma. The infection can manifest with a variety of different pathologies depending on the involved system and causative species. Schistosoma-induced appendicitis is rare in developed countries.
