Background: YouTube is an increasingly used platform for medical information. However, the reliability and validity of health-related information on celiac disease (CD) on YouTube has not been determined.
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the reliability and validity of CD-related YouTube videos.
Rationale And Objectives: This study aims to evaluate white matter microstructure integrity in patients diagnosed with presbycusis (age-related hearing loss) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and to investigate the relationship between DTI parameters and hearing loss severity.
Materials And Methods: Patients aged 50 and above with presbycusis (pure-tone average [PTA] ≥20dB) were categorized as mild (PTA 20-34dB), moderate (PTA 35-49dB), or severe (PTA ≥50dB). Fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), axial diffusivity (AD), and radial diffusivity (RD) were measured in 16 white matter regions.
Primary retroperitoneal neoplasms (PRNs) are a complex and diverse group of tumors arising in the retroperitoneal space, excluding those from retroperitoneal organs. These masses present significant diagnostic challenges due to their heterogeneous nature. PRNs primarily include sarcomas, neurogenic tumors, extragonadal germ cell tumors, and lymphomas, with the majority being malignant.

Methods: This study is a retrospective case-control study. A total of 42 patients who underwent lumbar puncture and those with elevated ICP, meeting the diagnostic criteria for IIH, were included in the study.
: Lower-extremity ischemia-reperfusion injury can induce distant organ ischemia, and patients with diabetes are particularly susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Sevoflurane, a widely used halogenated inhalation anesthetic, and fullerenol C60, a potent antioxidant, were investigated for their effects on heart and lung tissues in lower-extremity ischemia-reperfusion injury in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. : A total of 41 mice were divided into six groups: control ( = 6), diabetes-control ( = 7), diabetes-ischemia ( = 7), diabetes-ischemia-fullerenol C60 ( = 7), diabetes-ischemia-sevoflurane ( = 7), and diabetes-ischemia-fullerenol C60-sevoflurane ( = 7).
