Background: Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common malignant tumor in children under the age of 3 years and is associated with a high disability and mortality rate. The aim of this study was, first, to evaluate the clinical efficacy of multimodal imaging in differentially diagnosing RB in children and in predicting the efficacy of selective ophthalmic artery infusion (SOAI) and, second, to identify the factors associated with this efficacy.
Methods: This study retrospectively collected the data from 256 children with unilateral RB and intraocular involvement, including multimodal imaging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and clinical characteristics.
Purpose: This study sought to investigate the relationship between the globus pallidus/putamen T1 weighted image (TWI) signal intensity ratio (G/P ratio) and the acute bilirubin encephalopathy (ABE) in neonates, and to develop a new strategy for the grading and prognosis of ABE based on the G/P ratio.
Methods: A total of 77 full-term neonates with ABE were scored according to bilirubin-induced neurological dysfunction and divided into mild, moderate, and severe groups. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging examinations were performed and the G/P ratio was recorded.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to understand the normal width of the subarachnoid space in infants aged 1-24 months using 538 CT images, as its definition remains unclear.
- Measurements indicated that the cerebrospinal fluid width increases until around 4-6 months and then decreases, settling into a stable range by 13-24 months.
- The findings suggest that the upper limit for normal cerebrospinal fluid width should be set at the 95th percentile, emphasizing the importance of age correlation in clinical evaluations.
The present study aimed to investigate whether co-administration of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) and linezolid (LZD) into a rabbit model of methicillin-resistant (MRSA)-infected pneumonia would bring a synergistic therapeutic effect. Human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUMSCs) were isolated and characterized. A rabbit model of pneumonia was constructed by delivering 1 × 10 CFU MRSA via a bronchoscope into the basal segment of lower lobe of right lung.
