Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate how primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) affects brain changes in pediatric patients using diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements.
  • Researchers compared 24 PNS patients with 60 healthy children, measuring ADC values in various brain regions, including the thalamus and frontal cortex.
  • Results showed that PNS patients had significantly lower ADC values in specific brain areas, suggesting that systemic complications of PNS may disrupt normal brain tissue diffusion due to reduced blood flow.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates changes in vascular flow characteristics in clubfoot after Ponseti treatment, using resistive index (RI) and peak systolic velocity (PSV) as key parameters measured by Color Doppler ultrasonography (CDU).
  • In a sample of 34 feet from 24 patients, it was found that RI values were lower and PSV values higher in normal control feet compared to those with clubfoot; only the dorsalis pedis artery showed significant improvement post-treatment.
  • The research concluded that while clubfoot patients had vascular pathology, treatment can enhance vascular development, yet initial deformity severity did not correlate with RI or PSV changes, and overall prognosis from vascular flow changes remained unclear.

The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a decrease or an increase in the volume of different regions of the brain by comparing brain morphometry ofpatients diagnosed with Fibromyalgia Syndrome and healthy control subjects. The study included 23 female patients who were diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and 18 females, age-matched healthy subjects. Structural Mitral Regurgitation data was processed using Surface-Based Morphometry (SBM) on the Freesurfer 6.

Objective: Classically, pelvic incidence (PI) and other spinopelvic sagittal parameters are measured using plain x-ray obtained with the patient standing. However, it is difficult to obtain a perfect mid-sagittal appearance of the sacral endplate and superimposition of both femoral heads from a plain x-ray. Overlapping of the iliac wings also could obscure the appearance of the sacral endplate.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the possible relationship between disc displacement and the presence of reduction by comparing condyle anteroposterior (AP) diameter, condyle height, mandibular fossa AP diameter, and mandibular fossa depth.

Methods: A total of 588 joints of 294 patients were included in the study for evaluation. Disc displacement and the presence of reduction, condyle AP diameter, condyle height, mandibular fossa AP diameter, and mandibular fossa depth were evaluated.
