Is sarcopenia effective on survival in patients with metastatic gastric cancer?

Background: Sarcopenia is a progressively diminishing state characterized by the reduction of muscle mass and density, which is frequently observed in malignancies of solid organs.

Aim: To assess how sarcopenia affects the overall survival of individuals who have been diagnosed with metastatic gastric cancer.

Methods: The study retrospectively included individuals who had been diagnosed with metastatic gastric cancer between January 2008 and December 2020.

Benign incidental lesion of the calcaneus: the calcaneal vascular remnant.

Background: The calcaneal vascular remnant, first described by Fleming et al. in 2005, is a benign intramedullary lesion of the calcaneus with a vascular origin.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of incidental calcaneal vascular remnant on routine ankle MRI.

Evaluation of the frequency of tentorial hypoplasia and accompanying gyral herniation using MRI.

Purpose The cerebellar tentorium, the second-largest dural reflection in the brain, separates supratentorial and infratentorial structures. This study aimed to determine the frequency of tentorial hypoplasia (TH) and gyral herniation and their relationship with clinical findings. Methods The standard brain MRIs were examined retrospectively.

de Quervain's Tenosynovitis and Radial Styloid Osseous Changes.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the radial styloid osseous changes observed on posteroanterior wrist radiographs of patients with de Quervain's tenosynovitis who required surgery or conservative treatment.

Materials And Methods: The surgically treated group included 24 patients with de Quervain's tenosynovitis. The conservative treatment group and the healthy control group each comprised 24 age- and sex-matched subjects.

Normative Measurements and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Values of Parotid Lymph Nodes on Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Objective: To determine the morphological features and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of normal intraparotid lymph nodes (IPLNs) obtained from the MRI examination.

Study Design: Cross-sectional descriptive study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Health Sciences University, Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Training and Research Hospital, Department of Radiology, Ankara, Turkey, from January 2018 to December 2021.

Traumatic lung herniation due to Cow's kick.

Lung herniation, where the lung and its visceral and parietal components protrude outwards from a defect in the chest wall, is not common. It is most commonly secondary to blunt or penetrating trauma. The diagnosis is difficult, as the presentation differs according to aetiology.

Absence of CSF flow within the cerebral aqueduct in spontaneous intracranial hypotension: a report of two cases.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a potentially debilitating condition resulting from a low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume secondary to spinal CSF leakage. Characteristic clinical and radiological imaging findings are helpful in diagnosis. Herein, we present and discuss the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CSF flow study of two patients with SIH and no CSF flow within the cerebral aqueduct, which is extremely rare in the literature.

The impact of TI-RADS in detecting thyroid malignancies: a prospective study.

Introduction: Thyroid ultrasonography (US) is the first-step noninvasive and easily accessible diagnostic method widely used in the detection and characterization of nodular thyroid disease. We aimed to develop a TI-RADS, which is easy to apply and only relies on the counting of suspicious criteria. In order to measure the reliability of the system, we investigated its correlation with fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and post-surgery histological results.

Magnetic resonance imaging for diagnosis of bipartite patella: usefulness and relationship with symptoms.

Purpose: Bipartite patella is a rare developmental variation of the knee cap. We aimed to identify the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of bipartite patella and evaluate the association with clinical symptoms.

Material And Methods: MRI exams of 61 patients with bipartite variant were evaluated for types of bipartite patella, oedema around the synchondrosis, bipartite fragment height (FH), distance between the fragment and the patella (FPD), and signal characteristics within the synchondrosis.

A rare case of isolated congenital unilateral brachymetatarsia presenting in a young adult male.

Congenital brachymetatarsia is a rare skeletal anomaly which is characterized by the abnormal length reduction of one or more metatarsal bones. It occurs as the result of the early closure of the growth plate. While the majority of the reported cases are idiopathic, it can also be seen in association with various genetic conditions or syndromes.
