AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this article is to review the role of diagnostic imaging in the evaluation of women with diabetes.
Conclusion: Diabetic patients present a challenging population for the performance of various imaging studies and special considerations need to be made to obtain adequate studies. Imaging plays a significant role in assessing the multisystem morbidity of diabetes. Furthermore, diabetes in women may have some unique features and consequences and imaging studies can aid in the correct management of these patients.

Diagnostic clues in herpes encephalitis following radiation therapy.
J Neurol Sci
January 2025

Introduction: Herpes encephalitis is known to affect patients undergoing brain radiotherapy, but early diagnosis and treatment, the foremost determinants of disease outcome, remain challenging in this patient population. This can be due to attribution of symptoms to the brain tumor and radiation side effects, as well as patients' atypical clinical presentation. Here we sought to highlight pearls and pitfalls in the clinical course and diagnostic workup which may facilitate timely diagnosis and improve disease outcome.

Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China. Electronic address:
Electromyography (EMG) is increasingly used in stroke assessment research, with studies showing that EMG co-contraction (EMG-CC) of upper limb muscles can differentiate stroke patients from healthy individuals and correlates with clinical scales assessing motor function. This suggests that EMG-CC has potential for both assessing motor impairments and monitoring recovery in stroke patients. However, systematic reviews on EMG-CC's effectiveness in stroke assessment are lacking.

Neurology
February 2025
Department of Advanced Biomedical Sciences, University "Federico II," Naples, Italy.
Background And Objectives: Although multiple sclerosis (MS) can be conceptualized as a network disorder, brain network analyses typically require advanced MRI sequences not commonly acquired in clinical practice. Using conventional MRI, we assessed cross-sectional and longitudinal structural disconnection and morphometric similarity networks in people with MS (pwMS), along with their relationship with clinical disability.
Methods: In this longitudinal monocentric study, 3T structural MRI of pwMS and healthy controls (HC) was retrospectively analyzed.
The prevalence of aortic stenosis in Māori undergoing clinically indicated echocardiography compared to New Zealand Europeans.

Department of Medicine, HeartOtago, Dunedin School of Medicine, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand; Department of Cardiology, Dunedin Hospital, Southern District Health Board, Dunedin, New Zealand.
Aim: There are limited data on the prevalence of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) in Māori and known inequities in outcomes after aortic valve intervention. Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence of CAVD in Māori.
Methods: Data from initial clinically indicated echocardiograms performed between 2010 to 2018 in patients aged ≥18 years were linked to nationally collected outcome data.
Gadopiclenol Enables Reduced Gadolinium Dose While Maintaining Quality of Pulmonary Arterial Enhancement for Pulmonary MRA: An Opportunity for Improved Safety and Sustainability.

From the Departments of Radiology (J.F.H., S.Y.C., J.-P.G., J.S., P.N., S.B.R., T.M.G.), Biomedical Engineering (S.B.R., T.M.G.), Medical Physics (S.Y.C., S.B.R., T.M.G.), Medicine (S.B.R.), and Emergency Medicine (S.B.R.), University of Wisconsin-Madison, WI; and Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology (J.F.H., J.-P.G.), University Hospital Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany.
Rationale And Objectives: Pulmonary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is an imaging method with proven utility for the exclusion of pulmonary embolism and avoids the need for ionizing radiation and iodinated contrast agents. High-relaxivity gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs), such as gadopiclenol, can be used to reduce the required gadolinium dose for pulmonary MRA. The aim of this study was to compare the contrast enhancement performance of gadopiclenol with an established gadobenate dimeglumine-enhanced pulmonary MRA protocol.
