Background: The Fontan procedure is a surgical intervention designed for patients with single ventricle physiology, wherein the systemic venous return is redirected into the pulmonary circulation, thereby facilitating passive pulmonary blood flow without the assistance of ventricular propulsion. Consequently, long-term follow-up of individuals who have undergone the asymptomatic Fontan procedure is essential.
Objectives: The aims of this investigation were to: 1) examine the impact of flow components and kinetic energy (KE) parameters on hemodynamic disturbances in asymptomatic Fontan patients and control group; 2) Assess left ventricular diastolic dysfunction through the analysis of 4D flow parameters across different Fontan sub-groups; 3) Compare intracardiac flow parameters among Fontan sub-groups based on morphological features of the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV).

Dysprosody affects rhythm and intonation in speech, resulting in the impairment of emotional or attitude expression, and usually presents as a negative symptom resulting in a monotonous tone. We herein report a rare case of recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) with dysprosody featuring sing-song speech. A 68-year-old man, formerly left-handed, with right temporal GBM underwent gross total resection.

Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis (ISCM) is a rare manifestation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A 73-year-old man presented with left shoulder pain and left upper extremity weakness for two months. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed intramedullary and intradural extramedullary lesions at the C5 level, compressing the spinal cord from the center of the cord and the left ventral side.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a cornerstone of medical diagnostics, providing high-quality soft tissue contrast through non-invasive methods. However, MRI technology faces critical limitations in imaging speed and resolution. Prolonged scan times not only increase patient discomfort but also contribute to motion artifacts, further compromising image quality.

Aim: We aimed to evaluate whether preoperative bladder neck thickness (BNT) measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can guide surgical decisions in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) patients with a small volume (≤30 mL).
Materials And Methods: The clinical data of 403 patients were retrospectively collected. The Kappa consistency test was used to compare subjective (IPSS-voiding) and objective (Qmax) postoperative outcomes.
