Gadoxetic Acid-Enhanced MRI in Differentiating Focal Nodular Hyperplasia from Hepatocellular Adenoma in Children.

Objective: To investigate the diagnostic performance of Gd-EOB-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for distinguishing focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) from hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) in children.

Methods: Twenty-two patients (6 with HCA and 16 with FNH) were retrospectively included in this study. After qualitative analyses of MRI, quantitative analyses were performed by calculating the relative signal intensity ratios (SIR) between lesion and liver parenchyma both on precontrast and hepatobiliary phase images.

The Nephroprotective Effect of Peel Extract on LPS-Induced Acute Kidney Injury.

Sepsis is an exaggerated immune response resulting from systemic inflammation, which can damage tissues and organs. Acute kidney injury has been detected in at least one-third of patients with sepsis. Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury increases the risk of a secondary infection.

White Tea Consumption Alleviates Anthropometric and Metabolic Parameters in Obese Patients.

Obesity and related disorders are an increasing global health problem. Achieving and maintaining long-term weight loss through lifestyle changes and/or pharmacological interventions have not met expectations. Dietary supplements and alternative treatments have also shown limited effectiveness in this regard.

A randomized controlled clinical trial of the performance of three bioactive endodontic cements in primary molar teeth diagnosed with reversible pulpitis: 1-year follow-up study.

Objectives: The objective of this clinical trial was to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic successes of three bioactive endodontic cements (BEC) including novel portland cement-based material releasing fluoride, resin-modified silicate glass cement, and pure tricalcium silicate-based cement-in the treatment of primary molars diagnosed with reversible pulpitis via indirect pulp capping.

Methods: Eighty-six (86) participants with previously untreated first and second primary molars were included in this study. The teeth were randomly allocated into three groups: pure tricalcium silicate-based cement, resin-modified silicate glass cement, and novel portland cement-based material releasing fluoride.

Delayed-onset facial paralysis following cochlear implantation: a case study and comprehensive analysis.

Objectives: Cochlear implantation (CI) is a surgical intervention used to rehabilitate hearing in individuals, both pediatric and adult, with severe hearing loss. It is generally a safe procedure with rare postoperative complications. Facial nerve paralysis following cochlear implant surgery poses challenges in diagnosis and treatment.
