The added value of brain MR spectroscopy in children with Crigler-Najjar syndrome type-I: correlation with demographic, neurodevelopmental, and laboratory findings.

Objective: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the role of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in the detection of brain microstructural changes in patients with Crigler-Najjar syndrome type-I (CNs-I), and its correlation with demographic, neurodevelopmental and laboratory findings.

Methods: Prospective study was conducted on 25 children with CNs-I and 25 age and sex-matched children, who served as control. They underwent multivoxel 1H-MRS of basal ganglion at echo time 135-144 ms.

Short term effect of spinal mobilization with movement (MWM) on pulmonary functions in nonsmokers with thoracic hyperkyphosis: a randomized single-blinded controlled trial.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of mobilization with movement (MWM) on pulmonary functions in subjects with thoracic hyperkyphosis.

Methods: This randomized single-blinded controlled trial included a sample of 50 subjects (age 18 - 25 years old) with thoracic hyperkyphosis. Subjects were randomly allocated into two groups; the Real MWM group (n = 25) which received thoracic MWM plus standard postural correction exercises, and the Sham MWM group (n = 25) which received sham MWM plus standard postural correction exercises.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging of Auditory Pathway in Patients With Crigler-Najjar Syndrome Type I: Correlation With Auditory Brainstem Response.

Aim: To evaluate the role of diffusion tensor imaging of the auditory pathway in patients with Crigler Najjar syndrome type I and its relation to auditory brainstem response.

Methods: Prospective study was done including 12 patients with Crigler Najjar syndrome type I and 10 age- and sex-matched controls that underwent diffusion tensor imaging of brain. Mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy at 4 regions of the brain and brainstem on each side were measured and correlated with the results of auditory brainstem response for patients.

Texture and shape analysis of diffusion-weighted imaging for thyroid nodules classification using machine learning.

Purpose: To assess whether the integration between (a) functional imaging features that will be extracted from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI); and (b) shape and texture imaging features as well as volumetric features that will be extracted from T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can noninvasively improve the diagnostic accuracy of thyroid nodules classification.

Patients And Methods: In a retrospective study of 55 patients with pathologically proven thyroid nodules, T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted MRI scans of the thyroid gland were acquired. Spatial maps of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were reconstructed in all cases.

Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging: is it valuable in the detection of brain microstructural changes in patients having migraine without aura?

Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic value of diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the detection of brain microstructural changes in patients having migraine without aura.

Material And Methods: Our prospective study included 33 patients having migraine without aura and 15 volunteers with matched age and sex, who underwent brain MRI with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) of selected grey and white matter regions on both sides were measured and correlated with the neurological clinical examination.

Diffusion tensor imaging of vertebral bone marrow in children with Gaucher's disease type I and III: Pre- and post-therapy.

Purpose: To assess diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the vertebral bone marrow (BM) in children with Gaucher's disease (GD) types I and III before and after therapy.

Methods: Prospective study was conducted upon 25 children with GD type I (n = 17) and III (n = 8) and 13 age and sex-matched controls underwent DTI of vertebral BM. Mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) of vertebral BM was calculated and correlated with genotyping, chitotriosidase, hemoglobin (HB) and, platelet count.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging of Microstructural Changes in the Gray and White Matter in Patients With Crigler-Najjar Syndrome Type I.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the role of diffusion tensor imaging of microstructural changes in gray and white matter in Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I.

Patient And Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 10 patients with Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I and 10 age- and sex-matched children who underwent diffusion tensor imaging of the brain. Mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) of gray and white matter were measured.

Multislice computed tomography evaluation of primary abdominal fat necrosis: a rare cause of acute abdominal pain.

Purpose: Abdominal fat necrosis is a rare cause of abdominal acute pain, classified into primary or secondary according to the cause. Primary fat necrosis includes epiploic appendagitis or idiopathic infarction of the greater omentum. This retrospective study focuses on multislice computed tomography (MSCT) findings and diagnosis of primary abdominal fat necrosis as a cause of acute abdomen.

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and micro-RNA in the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C virus.

Background: Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging has shown promise in the detection and quantification of hepatic fibrosis. In addition, the liver has numerous endogenous micro-RNAs (miRs) that play important roles in the regulation of biological processes such as cell proliferation and hepatic fibrosis.

Aim: To assess diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and miRs in diagnosing and staging hepatic fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

Diffusion tensor imaging parameters in differentiation recurrent breast cancer from post-operative changes in patients with breast-conserving surgery.

Aim Of The Work: To investigate mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) measured by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) as complementary tools to differentiate recurrent breast cancer from post-operative changes in patients with breast-conserving surgery (BCS).

Patients And Methods: Prospective study was conducted upon 30 patients with BCS that underwent DTI and dynamic contrast MR imaging. DTI was performed using an axial two-dimensional spin-echo echo-planar imaging sequence.
