The Relationship of Gastrocnemius-Soleus Muscle Architecture with Balance and Functional Strength in Acute Stroke Patients.

Balance and functional impairment could occur due to the weakness of the gastrocsoleus muscles in acute stroke patients. This study was planned to determine the muscle architecture and its relationship to balance and functional strength functional ability in patients with acute stroke. A cross-sectional analysis of 22 stroke patients (68.

Bilateral Barotraumatic Involvement of the Infraorbital Nerve with Dehiscence and Ectopic Course: A Case Report.

The infraorbital nerve is responsible for the sensory innervation of the lower eyelid, the lateral nose, the cheek, the upper lip, and the maxillary teeth. It passes along the infraorbital canal, which runs superior to the maxillary sinus. Dehiscence of the infraorbital canal and its ectopic course in the maxillary sinus is a rare variation.

Coexistence of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma and Sialolithiasis in Submandibular Gland: Case Report.

Sialolithiasis is the primary cause of swelling in the major salivary glands. The etiopathogenesis is not clear. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a slow-growing salivary gland malignancy with a poor prognosis.

Atypical Lipomatous Tumor Originating From the Nasopharynx in a Patient with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

Atypical lipomatous tumor, also known as well-differentiated liposarcoma, is rare in the head and neck region. The primary and most effective option in the treatment of this malignancy with a good prognosis is excision with clean surgical margins. Therefore, it is important to distinguish this malignancy from lesions that require more aggressive treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the late gadolinium enhancement ratio (LGER) quantitatively in late post-contrast images in multiparametric prostate MRI (mpMRI) for the differential diagnosis of chronic prostatitis and prostate cancer (PCa).

Study Design: Descriptive study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Radiology, Suleyman Demirel University, Isparta, Turkey, from January 2018 to October 2021.

Effect of intramuscular fat in the thigh muscles on muscle architecture and physical performance in the middle-aged women with knee osteoarthritis.

Background: We investigated intramuscular fat (IMF) in quadriceps femoris (QF) and hamstring muscles in the middle-aged women with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). We also examined the relationship between muscular infiltration of QF and hamstring muscles and muscle architecture and physical performance of the women with KOA.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 72 women were included.

Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Competition (TEKNOFEST-2021): Stroke Data Set.

Objective: The artificial intelligence competition in healthcare was organized for the first time at the annual aviation, space, and technology festival (TEKNOFEST), Istanbul/Türkiye, in September 2021. In this article, the data set preparation and competition processes were explained in detail; the anonymized and annotated data set is also provided via official website for further research.

Materials And Methods: Data set recorded over the period covering 2019 and 2020 were centrally screened from the e-Pulse and Teleradiology System of the Republic of Türkiye, Ministry of Health using various codes and filtering criteria.

Transoral penetrating upper cervical injury: a case report.

Transoral penetrating foreign body injury of the neck involving the cervical spine is a rare condition. We present an injury caused by transoral penetration of a broken piece of a wooden plank into the neck with injury to the upper cervical spine in a 31-year-old male patient. The foreign body was removed transorally with the patient making a full recovery under close observation and was discharged and followed up with no complications.

A Rare Presentation of COVID-19 with Pulmonary Embolism.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been reported in almost every country in the world since December 2019. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 is often asymptomatic or with mild symptoms, but it may also lead to hypoxia, a hyperinflammatory state, and coagulopathy. The abnormal coagulation parameters are associated with thrombotic complications, including pulmonary embolism in COVID-19, but little is known about the mechanisms.

Ultrasound imaging of quadriceps muscle in patients with knee osteoarthritis: The test-retest and inter-rater reliability and concurrent validity of echo intensity measurement.

Background: Echo intensity(EI) on ultrasonography images of skeletal muscle reflects muscle composition.

Objectives: The primary aim of the study was to investigate the inter-rater and test-retest reliability of EI using grayscale histogram analysis of the cross-sectional area of quadriceps femoris(QF) muscle in patients with knee osteoarthritis(KOA). The secondary aim of the study was to determine the concurrent validity of the Free Hand Tool(FHT) when compared to Rectangular Marquee Tool(RMT) for calculating the region of interest(ROI) in ImageJ.

An Investigation of the Morphometry and Localization of the Foramen Ovale and Rotundum in Asymptomatic Individuals and Patients with Trigeminal Neuralgia.

Aim: To compare the morphometric characteristics of the foramen ovale (FO) and foramen rotundum (FR), and their localization in the middle cranial fossa on the head and neck computed tomography images of patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and asymptomatic individuals.

Material And Methods: The FO and FR length, width, and area parameters were examined in 158 asymptomatic individuals and 19 patients with TN. Their localization in the middle cranial fossa was determined according to the sagittal (y) axis passing through the middle of the dorsum sella and connecting the foremost point and the rearmost point of the skull and the transverse (x) axis passing through the middle of this axis.

Renal Cystic Echinococcosis: Long-Term Outcomes of Percutaneous Treatment.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term outcomes of percutaneous treatment of renal cystic echinococcosis (CE) stratified by cyst stages according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification.

Materials And Methods: Between January 1997 and February 2019, 34 patients with renal CE (18 women; mean age, 38 years) were treated with 3 different percutaneous techniques. According to the World Health Organization classification, the cysts were classified as CE1, CE2, CE3a, and CE3b.

Morphometric examination of the styloid process by 3D-CT in patients with Eagle syndrome.
