Melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer that arises from melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing skin pigment. In contrast to non-melanoma skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma is more invasive. Melanoma was distinguished by its rapid progression, high metastatic potential, and significant resistance to conventional therapies.

Objective: To compare iodine density (ID) and contrast-enhanced attenuation value (CEAV) from dual-layer spectral computed tomography (DLSCT) scans of lymphomatous, metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA), and normal cervical lymph nodes.

Methods: Data including ID and CEAV were retrospectively collected from patients who underwent DLSCT of the neck between January 2020 and August 2023. Results from each group (lymphomatous, metastatic SCCA, and normal) were compared and analyzed using one-way ANOVA and receiver operating characteristic curve.

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk of acute kidney injury following exposure to contrast media. We evaluated the effect of melatonin, a potent antioxidant, as a protective strategy against contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), with a focus on molecular mechanisms. We randomized patients with an eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.

Rationale And Objectives: Accurate distinguish malignant from benign renal masses remains a challenge for radiologists. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of Color Doppler Flow Imaging (CDFI), MicroFlow Imaging (MFI) and Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) in diagnosing solid renal tumors.

Materials And Methods: A total of 291 patients with 300 solid renal tumors pathologically confirmed were retrospectively analyzed between January 2020 and December 2022.
