Small Renal Masses: Developing a Robust Radiomic Signature.

(1) Background and (2) Methods: In this retrospective, observational, monocentric study, we selected a cohort of eighty-five patients (age range 38-87 years old, 51 men), enrolled between January 2014 and December 2020, with a newly diagnosed renal mass smaller than 4 cm (SRM) that later underwent nephrectomy surgery (partial or total) or tumorectomy with an associated histopatological study of the lesion. The radiomic features (RFs) of eighty-five SRMs were extracted from abdominal CTs bought in the portal venous phase using three different CT scanners. Lesions were manually segmented by an abdominal radiologist.

Acute syndesmotic injuries in ankle fractures: From diagnosis to treatment and current concepts.

A stable and precise articulation of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis maintains the tibiofibular relationship, and it is essential for normal motion of the ankle joint. The disruption of this joint is frequently accompanied by rotational ankle fracture, such as pronation-external rotation, and rarely occurs without ankle fracture. The diagnosis is not simple, and ideal management of the various presentations of syndesmotic injury remains controversial to this day.
