Article Synopsis
- Fibrosis is the abnormal buildup of connective tissue due to improper healing from injuries like lack of oxygen, infections, or trauma, affecting any organ and leading to dysfunction and failure.
- It also plays a significant role in cancer development, making early diagnosis and monitoring vital for improving patient outcomes.
- This paper specifically examines fibrosis in the genito-urinary system, highlighting current imaging technologies for detection and suggesting possible future research directions.
Article Synopsis
- Fibrosis is an abnormal buildup of connective tissue due to prolonged injuries like low oxygen, infections, or physical damage, which can lead to organ dysfunction and failure.
- It is also linked to cancer development and progression, making early diagnosis and monitoring crucial for treatment and improving patient outcomes.
- The text highlights the need for better understanding and application of advanced imaging techniques to detect fibrosis in abdominal organs, discussing both current technologies and future developments for early diagnosis.
Article Synopsis
- - Injury from factors like low oxygen, infections, or physical damage can disrupt normal tissue repair, leading to fibrosis, which affects organ function and can cause organ failure.
- - Fibrosis plays a significant role in cancer development and progression, making early diagnosis and ongoing monitoring crucial for managing diseases and improving patients' quality of life.
- - This work aims to review current imaging technologies used to detect fibrosis in thoracic organs and discuss future advancements in these imaging methods.
Obesity is a source of major morbidity and mortality and is a growing concern worldwide. Maternal obesity is associated with increased maternal and fetal risks during pregnancy. Bariatric surgery has emerged as one of the most sustainable treatments for severe obesity and its comorbidities.

From the initial diagnosis, the task of counseling these women and families is difficult because fetal and neonatal outcomes vary depending on the phenotype and degree of intervention chosen by the family. A literature review was performed using PubMed to gather information regarding obstetric management and outcomes of pregnancies complicated by T13 and T18.
