A retrospective study of 42 children with 45 proven urinary tract stones who had had intravenous urography (IVU), ultrasound examination and a plain abdominal X-ray (KUB) was undertaken in order to evaluate the prediction rate of each method. Ultrasound was more sensitive than KUB (91% vs 80%) in detecting stones. All renal stones were detected by ultrasound. KUB was superior to ultrasound in detecting ureteral stones (66.6% vs 55.5%). All stones were detected by the combination of ultrasound and KUB. Two renal radiolucent stones were missed by IVU. The results of this study suggest that the combination of ultrasound examination and KUB is more sensitive in detecting stones than IVU and is more convenient and less invasive.

Leukocyte scintigraphy has high specificity but low sensitivity in diagnosing persistent periprosthetic joint infection before reimplantation in two-stage revision.

Introduction: Two-stage revision is considered the gold standard treatment in chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) but no specific criteria or examination exist to determine infection eradication before reimplantation. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of leukocyte scintigraphy after the first-stage procedure in two-stage revision for chronic PJI.
Material And Methods: Patients studied with leukocyte scintigraphy after cement spacer insertion for knee PJI from January 2012 to December 2021 were retrospectively included.

Acute internal carotid artery occlusion (AICAO) can result in malignant cerebral edema and unfavorable patient outcomes. This study evaluated the utility of transcranial Doppler (TCD) in assessing contralateral flow compensation and predicting outcomes in patients with AICAO. We enrolled 51 patients within 6 h of symptom onset and conducted TCD examinations to evaluate collateral circulation.

Rationale And Objectives: Preoperative assessment of axillary lymph node (ALN) status is essential for breast cancer management. This study explores the use of photoacoustic (PA) imaging combined with attention-guided deep learning (DL) for precise prediction of ALN status.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included patients with histologically confirmed early-stage breast cancer from 2022 to 2024, randomly divided (8:2) into training and test cohorts.
Oncocytoma: a rare neoplasm of the caruncle.
BMJ Case Rep

Ophthalmology, Madigan Army Medical Center, Tacoma, Washington, USA.
Oncocytoma is a rare benign neoplasm of the glandular tissue, most commonly found in the caruncle of the eye. These lesions have an excellent prognosis and have not been reported to recur after resection from the caruncle. Given the wide range of differentials and potential for malignancy, excision and histopathological examination are recommended to establish the diagnosis and guide proper treatment.
