The role of shear wave elastography in predicting endometrial cancer in patients presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding.

Objective: Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) is an objective quantitative ultrasound elastography technique that can demonstrate the stiffness of anatomical structures to aid in their detection and characterization. We aimed to evaluate the role of shear wave elastography in differentiating endometrial carcinoma from benign uterine pathologies in women with abnormal uterine bleeding.

Patients And Methods: This prospective study was conducted at our institution from January 2020 to April 2020.

Texture analysis of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging for differentiating clinically significant prostate cancer in the peripheral zone.

Background: Texture analysis (TA) provides additional tissue heterogeneity data that may assist in differentiating peripheral zone(PZ) lesions in multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). This study investigates the role of magnetic resonance imaging texture analysis (MRTA) in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in the PZ.

Methods: This retrospective study included 80 consecutive patients who had an mpMRI and a prostate biopsy for suspected prostate cancer.

The role of superb micr ole of superb microvascular imaging in detecting low-gr ascular imaging in detecting low-grade inflammation among adults and those with chronic kidney disease: A preliminary study.

Background: Pathophysiologic changes associated with chronic inflammation occur with aging and more prominently in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and an association between chronic inflammation and muscle wasting has been identified. The microcirculation is extremely sensitive to the inflammatory process and actively participates in it. In a healthy adult, angiogenesis is a strictly controlled and rare occurrence.

Cerebral developmental venous anomalies in children with mismatch repair deficiency.

Background: Constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) is one of the rare cancer predisposition syndromes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cerebral developmental venous anomalies in children with central nervous system tumors associated with CMMRD, an area in which there is extremely little experience.

Methods: Data from children diagnosed with medulloblastoma and high grade central nervous sytem tumor were retrospectively collected.

Can Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast Perfusion Imaging be Utilized to Detect Isocitrate Dehydrogenase Gene Mutation in Gliomas?

Aim: To explore the ability of dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion imaging (DSC-PI) to detect isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutation in gliomas.

Material And Methods: Preoperative DSC-PI data on histopathologically proven gliomas obtained between January 2015 and December 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. All magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations were performed using a 1.

Anatomical Variations of the Celiac Trunk and Hepatic Arteries with a New Classification, Based on CT Angiography.

Objectives: To analyse the distribution of anatomical variations in both celiac trunk (CeT) and hepatic artery (HA) branching patterns on computed tomography (CT) angiography images; as well as to propose a new classification by unifying the already reported classifications of the CeT and HA vascular anatomy.

Study Design: Observational study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Selçuk University, Konya, Turkey, from February 2019 to March 2020.

Median Nerve's Microcirculation in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Superb Microvascular Imaging.

Background: The objectivity of physical and electrodiagnostic tests is limited in detecting carpal tunnel syndrome and its recurrence. Predicting the median nerve blood supply using superb microvascular imaging will allow exact diagnosis and a good follow-up system. The aims of this study include using superb microvascular imaging to correlate with electromyographic diagnosis, and to determine the impact of surgery on improvement in superb microvascular imaging.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma in a child with Kartagener`s syndrome.

Background: Kartagener`s syndrome, a subgroup of primary ciliary dyskinesia, is characterized by situs inversus totalis, chronic sinusitis and bronchiectasis. To date, the association of malignant diseases and Kartagener`s syndrome has been reported and all cases except angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma in a child have been seen in adulthood.

Case: A 10-year-old boy who was followed with the diagnosis of Katagener`s syndrome, presented with a progressive mass in the cervical region for 6 months.

Comparison of Preoperative and Postoperative Testicular Elasticity and Vascularity in Pediatric Patients With Inguinal Hernia.

Objectives: Testicular complications after inguinal hernia (IH) operations can be overlooked because they are difficult to diagnose, but usually have a long-term effect. This study evaluates the effects of IH on preoperative and postoperative testicular elasticity and vascularity in children with unilateral hernias, examined using the superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and shear wave elastography (SWE) modalities.

Methods: Forty-four male children with unilateral indirect IHs were included.

Surface anatomy and lumbar lordosis angle.

Awareness of the anatomical variations in abdominal surface anatomy with emphasis on relation to the abdominal planes may facilitate anatomical education and physical examination and inconvenience surgical intervention by giving surgeons more insight in surgical planning and training. This study was designed to verify whether the anatomical planes promote to the comprehension of surface anatomy and how the lumbar lordosis angle affects the vertebral level of the bifurcation of great vessels. This retrospective study was performed using computed tomography angiography images of 155 patients ranging from 18 up to 82 years.

Precise discrimination between meningiomas and schwannomas using time-to-signal intensity curves and percentage signal recoveries obtained from dynamic susceptibility perfusion imaging.

Background And Purpose: Meningiomas and schwannomas are common extra-axial brain tumors. Discrimination is challenging in some locations when characteristic imaging features are absent. This study investigated the accuracy of percentage signal recoveries obtained from dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion imaging (DSC-PI) in discriminating meningiomas and schwannomas.

Delayed Radiation Myelopathy in a Child With Hodgkin Lymphoma and ARTEMIS Mutation.

The authors present a case of delayed radiation myelopathy in a 12-year-old girl with Hodgkin lymphoma and Artemis mutation. This is the first of such a case presented in the literature.

In hospital outcome of patients undergoing coronary endarterectomy: comparison between off-pump vs on pump CABG.

Background: Due to advancement of non-surgical methods of coronary revascularization the patients referred for surgery have extensive and complex coronary anatomy. Patients with diffuse atheromatous coronary artery disease required coronary artery reconstruction or coronary endarterectomy (CE). Coronary endarterectomy on beating heart needs skill and better surgical technique.
