Objectives: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) techniques, including intravoxel incoherence motion (IVIM), iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation quantification sequence (IDEAL IQ), T2* mapping and T2 mapping, were employed to develop and validate a predictive model for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) diagnosis and liver fibrosis (LF) staging in rats. The combined model was interpreted using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) values for model interpretation.
Materials And Methods: 160 healthy Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into control (n = 24) and experimental (n = 136) groups, and the 12-week and 16-week groups were injected intraperitoneally with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) for 4 weeks, one month before the final feeding period.
Introduction And Importance: Myxoma is a benign tumor and is mesenchymal in origin. Myxomas of the retroperitoneum are extremely rare entities.
Case Presentation: We here report a case of a 67-year-old male who presented with progressive abdominal distention for 3 years.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical and computed tomographic (CT) features in the patients with COVID-19 pneumonia confirmed by the real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) amplification of the viral DNA from a sputum sample.
Material And Methods: Clinical information and CT findings of a total of 14 patients with COVID-19 infection (age range, 12-83 years; females 6) were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical information includes the history of exposure, laboratory results, and the symptoms (such as fever, cough, headache, etc.
