Anatomical assessment of the Kambin's triangle for percutaneous posterolateral transforaminal endoscopic surgery of lumbar intervertebral discs: a magnetic resonance imaging based study.

The aim of the present study was to utilize magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a noninvasive tool for evaluation of the Kambin's triangle safe zone. Lumbar MRIs of 67 healthy subjects were analyzed. On the coronal plane, the distance from the superior endplate to the nerve root exiting from the dura (distance a), the distance from the lateral aspect of the dura to the medial aspect of the nerve root (distance b), and the angle between the nerve root and plane of the corresponding disc (angle α) was measured.

CT Characteristics of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pneumonia and Its Association with C-Reactive Protein, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate and Gender.

Background: This research intended to investigate the characteristics of COVID-19, accurately evaluate radiological findings, and compare it with laboratory evidence of coronavirus.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study of 120 consecutive cases with a mean age of 55.9 ± 15.

Comparison of cardiac output measured by carotid artery Doppler ultrasound and echocardiography in patients admitted to Golestan and Imam Khomeyni Hospitalsl in Ahvaz.

Introduction: Ultrasound is highly effective, safe, and cost-effective for monitoring the hemodynamics and measuring the cardiac output of patients. This study aims to investigate the value of cardiac output by the measurement of common carotid artery flow, which is an inexpensive, simple, and accessible method.

Method: Doppler ultrasound of the carotid artery at thyroid level was obtained from the patients admitted to Golestan and Imam Khomeyni Hospitals in Ahvaz (the result is recorded medially from the bilateral outputs unless otherwise prescribed on one side due to a problem such as a catheter or specific position).

The diagnostic precision of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in grading of malignant endometrial lesions compared with histopathological findings.

Objective: The present study aimed to extract apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values from the diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequence of endometrial lesions and compare them with tissue specimen results in order to determine the precision of ADC values in grading of malignant endometrial lesions.

Methods: The present prospective study was conducted on 22 patients complaining of abnormal vaginal bleeding or evidence for endometrial thickening or masses detected using the ultrasound. Sampling was performed for pathological examination.
